22:02:21 <jlm^> We tried to change it away from Keystone as the default topic, but kept on getting permission denied errors.
22:02:26 <danwent> #info agenda: http://wiki.openstack.org/Network/Meetings
22:02:44 <danwent> Ok, our target for Essex RC1 is tomorrow
22:02:53 <danwent> https://bugs.launchpad.net/quantum/+milestone/essex-rc1
22:02:55 <GheRivero> hi
22:03:13 <danwent> overall, we're in pretty good shape code-wise
22:03:27 <danwent> we just need a final push of reviews.
22:04:09 <danwent> and there are a few tricky issues we'll talk about later in the meeting
22:04:20 <danwent> whoops… my wireless dropped for a second :)
22:04:35 <danwent> but first, are there any issues not yet targeted for RC1?
22:04:45 <danwent> I found one this morning by sifting through the reviews
22:05:24 <danwent> Ok, the agenda has links to three reviews that should be pretty straight-forward
22:05:49 <danwent> I wanted to bring up the two reviews targeted for RC1 that are not necessarily straightforward
22:05:51 <danwent> https://review.openstack.org/#change,5293
22:06:19 <danwent> is rkukura around?
22:06:37 <danwent> this is probably the biggest outstanding change. adds rootwrap to all client agents.
22:06:50 <rkukura> its only slightly crooked
22:07:18 <edgarmagana> hi there!
22:08:06 <danwent> ok, i haven't had a chance to review the rootwrap stuff yet, but assuming it doesn't require mucking with dependencies, I think its good to go in RC1
22:08:16 <rkukura> the patch adds root_helper to the agents, and rootwrap is only involved if the deployer configures it.
22:08:45 <danwent> great
22:08:51 <danwent> Ok, and the other interesting patch is: https://review.openstack.org/#change,5220
22:09:34 <danwent> this patch was merged as is into nova, and a few other projects (ultimately, it belongs in openstack-common)
22:10:00 <danwent> willian noticed that it used some deprecated capabilities, but other projects apparently decided to fix that issue in folsom
22:10:04 <danwent> is willian here?
22:10:40 <mnewby> the deprecation may not be an issue
22:11:05 <danwent> mnewby: ok.  i don't have a lot of context here, so my default would be to follow the decision made by nova and others
22:11:14 <mnewby> i'm not sure what version of sqlalchemy will be the default across openstack.  there was a discussion about whether it would be 0.6 or 0..7
22:11:37 <danwent> mnewby: does it currently vary?
22:11:38 <mnewby> (for essex i mean)
22:11:54 <danwent> in terms of what is specified in pip-requires?
22:12:02 <mnewby> I'll check
22:12:22 <danwent> ok, so let's just handle the rest of the discussion on the review itself, but I wanted to raise a flag on that one.
22:12:52 <danwent> Ok, so as we get to an RC, ideally we can test quantum and the various plugins using actual distros, not just our dev setups
22:13:07 <danwent> this is obviously important for catching any packaging related issues.
22:13:24 <danwent> the fedora team put together a really cool page to help with this on fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_run_Nova_with_Quantum
22:13:57 <wwkeyboard> That's excelent!
22:14:11 <danwent> i've pinged folks from canonical about the quantum packaging on ubuntu.  I played around with it over the weekend on precise, and didn't have a lot of luck.  Though it could have been that I misconfigured something
22:14:12 <davlap> very nice!
22:14:39 <danwent> If I hear anything back, I will make sure it gets to the list.  If anyone else has success on precise, please let us know.
22:14:53 <danwent> are there any other distros we should be targeting for testing?
22:15:59 <danwent> on a different note, I think we're very close to having a final version of debo's excercise script that will get merged into devstack
22:16:01 <danwent> https://review.openstack.org/#change,4665
22:16:08 <danwent> reviews there are greatly appreciated.
22:16:17 <danwent> (davlaps, that was quick!)
22:16:21 <davlap> :)
22:16:53 <danwent> debo-os, did you say you are already running this regularly on your own setup?
22:17:14 <debo-os> not regularly .... occasionally
22:17:30 <danwent> ok.  well hopefully we can work with the openstack-ci team to run it regularly once it is merged
22:17:37 <debo-os> but I have a machine where I can run it as a cron job
22:17:58 <danwent> #info reminder about the community project page: http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumStarterBugs
22:19:01 <danwent> #info and the thread on the ML about what the Quantum team should focus on in Folsom.  Goal is to get a good mix of whiz-bang new capabilities and good ole fashioned platform improvements.
22:19:50 <danwent> summit sign-up website is up, but I want to make sure we get good community input on the ML, so we have a cohesive quantum track.
22:20:14 <danwent> If you haven't replied to the ML thread, please do so in the next few days.
22:20:30 <danwent> ok, any open discussion?
22:20:33 <carlp> is that whlooking forward to that
22:20:49 <danwent> ?
22:20:49 <carlp> sorry, very laggy today
22:20:52 <danwent> :)
22:21:08 <carlp> I'm looking forward to usnning debo-os's code in CI :)
22:21:18 <danwent> yeah, will be a HUGE win
22:21:44 <debo-os> carlp: please let me know how I can help ... also its not just my code, DavidL is a co-contributor ....
22:21:59 <danwent> Ok, sounds like that's everyone.  Please remember to pick off a few reviews today if you haven't already.  RC1 will drop tomorrow unless we get any nasty new bugs!
