21:00:58 <oneswig> Hi julianp, welcome to "the other side"
21:01:09 <oneswig> I wonder who else made the jump
21:01:30 <julianp> Heh. Thanks.
21:01:45 <oneswig> What's new with you?
21:03:00 <julianp> Not much. Getting ready for some fun summer trips.
21:03:04 <julianp> You?
21:04:16 <oneswig> We've been struggling recently with some adventurous work with OVN and high-performance networking.  I think it is finally there, which is a big relief, but it did require master-branch builds of OVN for some of the features to make it possible.
21:04:54 <julianp> Yikes.
21:05:11 <julianp> Bleeding edge can be rough.
21:05:42 <oneswig> Open Vswitch is one of those technologies that does things its own way.  You have to invest a lot of effort to make sense of it.
21:06:21 <julianp> Is all this work proprietary at the moment? Have you written anything about it?
21:07:08 <oneswig> None of it's proprietary, the only part that's hard to share is the learning curve but we've done our best with that.
21:08:10 <oneswig> There was this - https://www.stackhpc.com/vflag-kayobe.html
21:08:21 <martial> hello friends
21:08:26 <oneswig> I think there's about a month of further hacking that followed that
21:08:33 <oneswig> Hey martial
21:08:42 <oneswig> that was quick :-)
21:08:47 <oneswig> #chair martial
21:08:48 <opendevmeet> Current chairs: martial oneswig
21:09:03 <julianp> Hi Martial
21:09:13 <martial> Procrastination power? :)
21:09:16 <oneswig> julianp: How's your bare metal support for Exosphere going?  I was on vacation last week but I think we landed the major pre-requisite for the Scalable Metal Service (IPV6 addressing).
21:09:39 <oneswig> One big step closer to being open for new projects.
21:09:56 <julianp> Ooh. That's interesting. I need something real to kick around. This sounds promising.
21:10:23 <oneswig> Real can get painful in deeply prosaic ways
21:10:59 <julianp> Indeed. Let's catch up on Slack about next steps.
21:11:28 <oneswig> Sounds good to me.  I'm catching up with the SMS team on Thursday, I should know more then.
21:13:16 <julianp> Great. Looking forward to it.
21:17:11 <oneswig> martial: a colleague was asking for tips on minio performance tuning.  Is there any low-hanging fruit?
21:18:04 <martial> That would be a good question for Rion, can your colleague reach out to him?
21:18:48 <oneswig> Might be good for a Slack follow up, if Rion's on there.
21:19:00 <martial> he is on there, yes
21:19:11 <martial> among the topics for today, do  we have ISC and SC ?
21:19:33 <oneswig> I don't think an agenda was set, ahem...
21:19:49 <oneswig> But ISC is coming up soon and worth discussing
21:21:06 <martial> Blair reached out to mention it was happening :)
21:21:09 <oneswig> It's still a paid-for ticket for ISC, right?
21:21:10 <martial> virtual of course
21:21:31 <martial> very small amount of time per person given the the time we have
21:21:56 <martial> so begs the question if we ought to skip any intro and have just links for people to work with
21:22:08 <martial> also he asked about mentimeter, and yes that is possible here again
21:22:40 <martial> concern/comments?
21:22:44 <oneswig> Was that what you were using for gathering questions last time?
21:23:05 <martial> yes, you make a list of questions and it makes visuals for us
21:23:15 <martial> (live updated)
21:23:43 <oneswig> That certainly sounds handy
21:23:55 <martial> I still have the account so easy to do, just need a list of questions before hand
21:26:37 <martial> maybe we can just setup a google docs or etherpad to discuss things
21:26:50 <martial> and share it with known presenters to get started
21:28:41 <oneswig> Sounds like a good start.  I'm not sure which I prefer but either would work.
21:28:54 <oneswig> Etherpad perhaps because some people don't have/want Google IDs.
21:29:10 <martial> can do
21:30:55 <oneswig> What's the news on SC?  I hadn't realised it was going ahead "in person", which is cool.
21:32:37 <martial> SC hotels opened up, is all I know
21:32:56 <martial> we did not propose a BoF yet
21:32:59 <martial> is it too late?
21:35:06 <martial> Looks like we are not too late https://sc21.supercomputing.org/submit/submission-deadlines/ August
21:35:52 <martial> let's come up with a plan soon-ish?
21:36:16 <oneswig> Sounds like a good idea.  I'm just checking the dates.
21:40:03 <martial> beyond that I have little to share :)
21:43:11 <martial> sounds like we have plans, I will follow up with the list of questions we had last time on mentimeter and an etherpad
21:45:05 <oneswig> It looks like my plans fit around SC.  Subject to travel policy, I'm (tentatively) in
21:45:41 <martial> hopefully ISC will be in person next year
21:46:09 <martial> but SC being possible is great :)
21:46:28 <martial> #topic AOB ?
21:46:52 <oneswig> Curious the bot didn't pick that up.
21:47:03 <martial> maybe we can even end the meeting early, it sounds like it is a little slow anyhow
21:47:15 <oneswig> Yeah, makes sense.
21:47:15 <martial> maybe the question mark
21:47:44 <martial> I have two action items that I added to my Kanban so I will follow up Tomorrow
21:48:24 <oneswig> Excellent.  Thanks martial
21:48:42 <oneswig> Ok, let's close there?
21:49:07 <martial> good with me
