Round table
===========

MV:
  - will be working working on porting Rust to HelenOS as a school 
assignment (ročníkový projekt)
  - so far managed to compile HelenOS
  - still waiting for Trac access
VS:
  - will be working on read-only Btrfs driver as a school assignment 
(ročníkový projekt)
  - JS: For reference, GRUB has a read-only Btrfs driver, from there you can
judge e.g. amount of work
  - VH: We might strip it down even more, omitting support for mirror/
stripe/etc.
MC:
  - will be working on software raid as a school assignment (ročníkový
projekt)
  - JS: Something like Solaris LVM? (mirror, stripe for block devices) VH:
Yes

JJ:
  - no progress update

NK:
  - discussion of NIC selection for packet capture tool
  - would really like to use short names. Can't we use net/ethN?
  - JS: I really don't think this is the right think to do. I don't think
you need to solve this as part of your assignment. It's a project on its 
own. I suggest 1) if there is just one NIC, just use that 2) if there are 
more and user didn't specify one, prompt interactively or, alternatively, 
allow user to specify NIC index like with NIC tool
  - JJ: What about capturing datagrams from SLIP? JS: You could add capture
to SLIP as well. But then, you can have other capture sources than NICs. So
you would have to have a subcommand to list capture sources (with indices)
and then you could specify capture source with index (or select
interactively).
  - discussion which NIC drivers are supported

VH:
 - fixing bugs in automatic test script
 - still cannot root cause erratic loss simulated key presses in Qemu
 - question: Is there any NIC you can currently buy that we support?
   JS: Don't know. Do you actually have a PC where you can plug it in where
we can boot and support interrupts?

JS:
  - How about releasing 0.14.1? Looks like a good time to do so. JJ, VH:
Shrugs of consent
     VH: Look at ci.helenos.org, looks like builds have been failing lately.
Needs fixing prior release
  - Any volunteer to be the release manager? .. no volunteers -> JS will be
RM for 0.14.1
  - Is persistent device identification/naming a good student assignment?
VH: We would need to narrow it down make sure it's not too large.
  - JS: I would like to implement staged bood. Requires global chroot or
pivot mount. Would JJ like to work on it? JJ: not really
  - Very happy about all the student interest!
