21:00:25 <oneswig> greetings
21:01:31 <trandles> hi oneswig
21:01:43 <oneswig> Hey trandles, good afternoon
21:02:42 <oneswig> Reminds me, one of our team did some useful work this week fixing Ironic provisioning of images with SW RAID and LVM
21:02:49 <julianp> o/
21:03:01 <oneswig> hi julianp, good to see you
21:03:10 <trandles> (sorry, in another meeting that's running long so I'm multitasking poorly)
21:03:19 <oneswig> np
21:03:22 <julianp> oneswig: Likewise.
21:03:48 <oneswig> julianp: whats new on Exosphere?
21:04:16 <julianp> A couple of things.
21:04:31 <julianp> 1. User-friendly, DigitalOcean-esque OpenStack image selection landed recently:  https://gitlab.com/exosphere/exosphere/-/merge_requests/497#screenshots
21:04:44 <julianp> 2. Launch Binder-compatible repositories on OpenStack instances: https://gitlab.com/exosphere/exosphere/-/merge_requests/496#screenshot
21:05:35 <julianp> Like mybinder.org but long-lived, with access to lots of compute and potentially GPUs.
21:06:15 <oneswig> Choosing different image versions is really tidy.  Nice work!
21:06:37 <julianp> Thanks! That was all cmart's handiwork.
21:07:22 <julianp> We're having a 5 day hackathon/coding retreat next week to bring some new contributors onboard, and really polish the UI.
21:07:33 <martial> hello friends
21:07:35 <oneswig> Sounds lovely
21:07:39 <oneswig> Hi martial
21:07:40 <julianp> Hi martial.
21:07:43 <oneswig> #chair martial
21:07:43 <opendevmeet> Current chairs: martial oneswig
21:08:25 <oneswig> julianp: over here we are doing our twice-yearly company design summit - more of a talking retreat than a coding one.  Only two hours per day though.
21:09:08 <julianp> How many days?
21:10:21 <oneswig> five days, through this week.
21:10:35 <oneswig> Lots of roadmap and planning stuff.
21:11:51 <b1airo> o/
21:12:00 <martial> welcome Blair
21:12:04 <oneswig> Hey b1airo
21:12:09 <oneswig> #chair b1airo
21:12:09 <opendevmeet> Current chairs: b1airo martial oneswig
21:12:29 <julianp> oneswig: That sounds good.
21:12:38 <julianp> Hi b1airo.
21:12:51 <b1airo> hi gang
21:14:19 <oneswig> I've been investigating our first case where Mellanox OFED doesn't build out of the box on CentOS 8 Stream.  Looks like RH have backported some packet sample code from a 5-series kernel which OFED doesn't expect.
21:14:41 <oneswig> A useful test case on how close CentOS 8 Stream will be to RHEL in reality
21:16:57 <martial> good point
21:18:35 <oneswig> As a counterpoint, I've also been troubleshooting some Ubuntu deployment issues.  A lot's happened in a year...
21:18:59 <b1airo> hmm interesting, sounds funstrating ...?
21:19:09 <trandles> hello again...other meeting wrapped finally
21:19:53 <oneswig> b1airo: to each cat, his own rat
21:20:15 <oneswig> hey trandles, how's Kam getting on?
21:21:39 <trandles> he's long gone
21:21:41 <martial> good or bad?
21:22:03 <trandles> unfortunately...there's a long story there better suited for a conversation over drinks
21:22:21 <trandles> (ie., not logged)
21:23:03 <trandles> He was doing good work but lost some time due to other factors and then the summer was over. :(
21:23:36 <oneswig> ah sorry to hear that
21:26:08 <julianp> Topic proposal: October PTG
21:26:10 <julianp> Is anything planned for Scientific SIG?
21:28:13 <martial> well we have a couple sessions planned
21:28:32 <martial> was going to discuss (like last time) options for lighting talk
21:28:40 <martial> as well as our regular meeting session
21:28:48 <martial> we should start an etherpad
21:28:56 <martial> I can offer a google meet link again
21:29:29 <julianp> martial: Google Meet seemed to work well last time. Let me know if you need help with anything.
21:29:30 <oneswig> All good suggestions
21:31:43 <martial> we have a few weeks to get organized but if people were comfortable with the previous session, I am happy to help organize a repeat
21:32:38 <oneswig> +1 from me.  Is it the w/c Oct 11th?
21:34:20 <martial> I think it is the following week
21:34:57 <martial> Our sessions are Wed Oct 20th
21:35:00 <oneswig> Ah Ok, thanks!
21:35:17 <oneswig> A big week for other reasons :-)
21:35:31 <martial> at least that is what I remember adding to the calendar at the time
21:35:49 <martial> (it was a jigsaw game to find an opening)
21:38:50 <oneswig> I don't doubt it!  Thanks for persisting.
21:39:44 <trandles> oops, I better register for PTG
21:40:04 <trandles> I have a post-it note reminder that has been there long enough I ignore it :P
21:40:18 <martial> like SC :)
21:40:26 <martial> remote SC
21:41:19 <trandles> you are correct martial ... I deleted my request to attend in person and never submitted a new one for remote ...
21:41:26 <trandles> LOL
21:41:54 <martial> lol indeed, was not trying to divine things :)
21:44:50 <trandles> ok, PTG registration complete
21:45:20 <oneswig> trandles: you are an example to us all
21:48:54 <martial> :)
21:48:56 <martial> AOB?
21:49:36 <oneswig> I just registered too
21:50:00 <julianp> Ditto.
21:50:04 <trandles> oneswig: if this is a working meeting it's more productive than most of the others I have ;)
21:50:43 <oneswig> Any time, trandles, been a pleasure doing business
21:53:43 <oneswig> I need to head off - getting late over here and time to turn in.
21:54:19 <oneswig> If I hear anything further about OFED on CentOS 8 Stream, I'll let you know on Slack
21:54:21 <martial> good to close the meeting anyhow
21:54:32 <oneswig> +1
21:54:35 <julianp> Goodnight oneswig.
21:54:52 <julianp> See y'all next time.
21:54:53 <trandles> bye all
