I'd recommend adding a column for marketing. Some of these things
probably fit more under marketing and also don't see anything around
promoting releases, putting howtos into third party publications, etc.

+1 - In the future I think we should probably schedule votes like this
to allow 72 hours during "business hours" if at all possible. (Though
some people do have more time on the weekend for testing if CloudStack

One of the things I've usually done is go to Geeks.com and buy a
second-hand workstation. Typically you can pick up a pretty beefy
machine for cheap. For example, they have a quad-core Xeon machine with
12GB of RAM for ~$350. (The inventory varies quite a bit, though. If you
don't see something you like, check back in a few days. If you do see
something you like, it might be gone in a few days if you wait to make a
decision...)

Ending IRC Meetings

2013-07-17 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,

So, we had a very slim turnout again today for the IRC meeting. I
believe we're doing well enough communicating via email and using the
available tools that most folks no longer feel they need to discuss
issues in real time. (Or they're in IRC enough to have those discussions
with other folks in #cloudstack-dev at other times and don't need a
fixed time to do so.)

At this point, I'm going to suggest we take the weekly meeting off the
schedule. If there's a need down the road to set up a weekly meeting, we
can always fire it up again.

I'm not asking to roll it back or restart a discussion - just saying in

discussion thread rather than having it as a small part of a larger

So, I am surprised that it's already been changed. I noticed the comment
when I was doing the weekly news - but it was buried in an email with
the subject "coding convention reminder" - which tells most readers
"this email is a reminder, there are no changes involved in this." There
was no discussion of the change, though there was discussion about the
Eclipse templates, etc.

In the future, might be good to break out proposals for changes in a

change.

Alex raised this issue last week:

I didn't see many responses to that particular part of his email,
though. 

Personally, I think arbitrary maxlength at any column width is a PITA -
but I spend most of my time looking at XML with prose rather than
Java...

I'd support a longer line length or keeping the 80 character limit, but
I think it should be changed across the board if we change it. (i.e.,
not just for "some" files.)

It doesn't really matter where a hypervisor falls in the "magic

aren't hyping. What matters is having someone who steps up and provides

2013-06-18 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Just in case they don't send directly to our dev@ list. Major upgrade
coming to the wiki, some downtime ahead on Saturday, and some features
may not work afterwards. Please read!

To: committ...@apache.org
Subject: IMPORTANT: Major Confluence Upgrade Coming Soon. Please review
test instance now.
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:56:28 +1000

[Note this message may be received twice as this may also hit any dev
lists
you subscribe to]


Hi All,

If your project has a Confluence Wiki then this is an IMPORTANT
announcement
for you and your project. Please read this email carefully.

NOTICE: The ASF Confluence instance is planned to be upgraded this
Saturday
22nd June 2013. Judging by the time taken to upgrade the test instance,
please expect the service to be in a down or read only state for the
entire
day.

This email is to let you know that a test upgrade has already occurred
and
is live for you to play with now. This gives us all an opportunity to
test
for stability as well as any upgrade/plugin issues that might have
happened
along the way.

Our current confluence wiki is at version 3.4.9 from way back in
February
2011 and Atlassian have released a further 45 updates along the way,
including another 2 major versions.
The test instance has been upgraded several times along the way, with
database surgery, operating system and server changes along the way. 

There have been casualties. Most notably is the Autoexport Plugin has
had to
be disabled permanently as during extensive testing, this plugin stopped
working on version 4.3. Templates and Macros are also affected with
major
changes from wiki markup to xhtml amongst other things. Some plugins
survived with upgrades all the way whilst some have been
decommissioned/replaced or have changed to 'paid for' versions that we
need
to sort out licensing for. Nothing major that I can tell, but that's
where
you lot come in with your testing of your own spaces.

Please familiarise yourself with what's new in Confluence 5.1 at
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+5.1+Release+Notes
and also take a good look around our upgraded test instance. Do not
worry
about mucking anything up on the test instance as that is what it is
there
for. Any changes/additions made will be lost on Saturday when a new
migration will take place. The current confluence version will remain
online
in a read only state until the new version is completed.

A jira ticket has been raised at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6406 where projects can add
comments on any issues they are having with the test instance as
compared to
their old site. Just problems only please, do not turn it into a how to
use
confluence 5 thread. In addition, if there are any features that you
currently use that do not work in the test instance, please replicate
the
feature in the current production TEST space so that I can test them all
in
the one place along the way. (Ask if you need create page permissions to
cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TEST )

It may be possible in the future to replace Autoexport by playing around
with the API to export the pages but this is not a priority, nor is it
supported. We warned projects long ago that the Autoexport Tool would be
incompatible with future Confluence versions and that time has now come.

Ok so, please test and report to the Jira Issue mentioned anything amiss
with your space. Go to https://cwiki2.apache.org/confluence and have a
play
around. You have 3 DAYS to report anything you find.

Thanks

Gavin (ASF Infra)

Can you expand on this? 

We already generate API docs from the code. Generally when I talk about
docs, I'm referring to implementation docs - e.g. "how do I set up,
install, and manage CloudStack" docs.

Hack Day at CloudStack Collaboration Conference

2013-06-13 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,

As you know, the conference is coming up in less than two weeks. The
first day is going to be a "hack day" using an un-conference/BarCamp
type structure where we ask attendees to set the agenda and have spaces
set aside to work on things or have more interactive sessions to hammer
out ideas. 

This will probably work best if we start brainstorming before the event,
so I've set up a page on the wiki for folks to propose sessions. Please
take a minute to add topics you'd like to address during the hack day
with a description and suggested leader for that session. (This is
usually going to be the person proposing the idea, but might be a
suggestion for someone else if you think they'd be better suited.)

Here's the page on the wiki - please go wild and add the topics you
think we need to hit on during the hack day! (Note, adding a session
isn't a guarantee that it'll be chosen, but it's a good way to build
interest ahead of time and ensure the right folks are there and ready to
roll.)

I'd like to get it fixed as well. However, I think that updating system
VMs is a pretty big leap for a point release. We might have an issue
with the fix that has gone in so far for KVM:

Apache CloudStack 4.1.0 Released

2013-06-04 Thread Joe Brockmeier
The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the 4.1.0 release
of the CloudStack Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud orchestration
platform. This is the first major release from Apache CloudStack since
its graduation from the Apache Incubator on March 20th. 

Apache CloudStack is an integrated software platform that allows users
to build a feature-rich IaaS. CloudStack includes an intuitive user
interface and rich API for managing the compute, networking, accounting,
and storage resources for private, hybrid, or public clouds. 

The 4.1.0 release represents more than five months of development effort
by the Apache CloudStack community. The release includes many new
features and bugfixes from the 4.0.x cycle. The 4.1.0 release also marks
major changes in the codebase to make CloudStack easier for developers,
a new structure for creating RPM/Debian packages, and completes the
changeover to using Maven as a build tool.

## New Features

Some of the notable new features in Apache CloudStack 4.1.0 include:

* An API discovery service that allows an end point to list its
supported APIs and their details.
* Added an Events Framework to CloudStack to provide an "event bus" with
publish, subscribe, and unsubscribe semantics. Includes a RabbitMQ

## Downloads 

The official source is available from:

http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html

In addition to the official source code release, individual contributors
also make convenience binaries available. 4.1.0 convenience binaries
should be available within a day or so of the release announcement.

Note that there is a known issue with 4.1.0 and a recent Tomcat release.
This has been addressed in the convenience binaries, but is still
present in 4.1.0 source release. We will be working on a 4.1.1 release
that will contain that fix shortly.

## CloudStack Collaboration Conference

The CloudStack community will be gathering for its second conference
this month in Santa Clara, CA. The event will start on June 23rd with a
hackathon, then formal programming on June 24th and 25th. This year
we've gotten some fantastic keynotes, including DevOps legend Gene Kim
(author of "The Phoenix Project"). You can find all the details at
http://www.cloudstackcollab.org/, and the schedule at
http://www.cloudstackcollab.org/schedule/.  

## About Apache CloudStack

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. Target environments include
service providers and enterprises. It is used by many service providers
to set up an on-demand, elastic cloud computing services and by
enterprises to set up a private cloud for use by their own employees.
Apache CloudStack is also available to individuals and organizations
that wish to study and implement an IaaS for personal, educational,
and/or production use.

If a different time would work for everybody, I'm open to suggestions.
We set the current time by taking a survey of best times and based that
on the responses. Happy to revisit that to set a new time - but changing
the time week-to-week tends to be problematic. We had a lot of folks
confused about the meeting time due to daylight savings, for example.

I'm not sure this issue approaches KDE 4.0 levels, but otherwise +1.
(Note - the KDE folks are *very* touchy about 4.0 *still* being held up
as a high-water mark of poor judgement in releases, which is in and of
itself a cautionary tale for releasing something that's not ready...) 

Why are users waiting for us to officially release instead of grabbing
artifacts from Jenkins? In large part, they're waiting for the project
to "bless" the quality of the release by saying it's ready. Time-based
releases are supposed to be a way of ensuring that we don't hold up
releases indefinitely because of missing features - but I don't think
that extends to knowingly releasing something that is a pretty serious
bug.

There are many people waiting for a 4.1 release *they can use*. 

There's nothing to stop end users from grabbing the 4.1 tree in its
current state and running with that. The code is out there.

What they're waiting for is a signal from the project that "it's ready."
I think releasing before we're there harms the project and has many
potential pitfalls for the end users who are currently waiting for the
release.

[DISCUSS] Do we need a 4.0.3?

2013-05-21 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Hi all, 

We apparently have a regression in 4.0.2 that will break new deployments
on Ceph RDB, and I was also CC'ed on another fix last week that could
apply to the 4.0.x branch.

The thought was that we would not have another release in the 4.0.x
branch because we're so close to 4.1.0, but right now it's unclear how
quickly 4.1.0 will be released. 

So the question is: Should we go ahead and do a 4.0.3 release?

It's relatively easy for me to pull in the patches and roll up a
release. What I'm concerned about is distracting folks from the 4.1.0
process to take time to vote - if done correctly, the VOTE can be a
time-consuming process.

Thoughts?

I'm planning to be offline today, but I'll ask if folks think we need a

The problem with the nightly builds is that there's no signal to the
larger community of "OK, seriously - we need you to start testing NOW."
And presenting people with "pick any build" is a losing proposition.

We need to be able to:

1) Signal that we're ready for a larger community to start testing
because - while we know it's not perfect, we also need to find blockers
that we don't already know about.

2) Engage folks who are less connected to the day-to-day development
process and provide a well-defined process and point them at an artifact
we're prepared to see a lot of bug reports against. 

3) Promote the process and be ready to help a larger body of community
members who will likely need guidance in filing bugs, etc.

I'm indifferent to upgrades between betas or to production release. I
think it's a nice to have, but I don't anticipate anyone using betas in
production, or even starting a production deployment with a beta.

We're close to the 4.1.0 release - we've hit a number of upgrade
blockers, but as soon as those are resolved, Chip should be calling for
a vote and the release will come out shortly after that.

[REMINDER] The CloudStack Conference CFP Deadline is Approaching! Submit Talks by Sunday

2013-05-09 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Are you using, supporting, or helping develop Apache CloudStack? Doing
interesting work around Apache CloudStack? If so, you should be
speaking at the second [1]CloudStack Collaboration Conference this June
in Santa Clara. 

## TL;DR

The deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 12th. You can submit talks
at [2]http://www.cloudstackcollab.com/CfP/. Ask questions to
market...@cloudstack.apache.org or plann...@cloudstackcollab.org. 

The Collaboration Conference will feature tracks for users, developers,
and integrators of Apache CloudStack. We're looking for presentations
that provide insight into best practices in deploying and developing
Apache CloudStack. This includes supporting technologies like
configuration management tools, monitoring solutions, and more.

This will be an outstanding opportunity for developers to collaborate,
exchange ideas, and get work done face-to-face with other Apache
CloudStack contributors to improve Apache CloudStack.

## Proposals

The program committee will be looking for presentations and workshops
related to working with and developing Apache CloudStack. This includes
everything from running CloudStack at scale, best practices for working
with IaaS clouds, discussions about CloudStack's architecture,
proposals for feature development, and more. We're also open to talks
that go hand-in-hand with managing Apache CloudStack, like
configuration management and monitoring tools.

In short, if it's relevant to Apache CloudStack development,
deployment, and integration, we're interested in what you might have to
say. For an example of what we're looking for, check out some of the
[3]videos from last year's event.

To submit your talk, just go to [4]http://www.cloudstackcollab.com/CfP/
and follow the steps there.

## Timeline and Deadlines

There's no time like the present to submit a proposal. We recommend
getting your proposal in early, and feel free to ask questions about
talk ideas on market...@cloudstack.apache.org if you want tips for
success! You can reach the CfP committee at
plann...@cloudstackcollab.org.

Dates for proposals are as follows:
  * Call for Proposals closes on May 12th.
  * Notifications will go out on May 17th.
  * Confirmations will be due by May 22nd.

## Travel Sponsorships

Not sure if you can afford the airfare and lodging to attend the
Collaboration Conference? Please don't let that stop you from
submitting your best proposal. We may be making a number of travel
sponsorships available for speakers who have useful information to
share with the Apache CloudStack community.

## Code of Conduct

The Apache CloudStack community is open to everyone. As such, we are
committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for
all - regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity,
or religion. We respect and encourage diversity at our conference.

By agreeing to present at the conference, you are agreeing to abide by
the code of conduct. We expect all speakers and attendees to have read
and understood the code of conduct, and that all presentations will
meet this standard.

## Questions?

to the conference planning committee by sending an email to
plann...@cloudstackcollab.org.

I was interested in attending, but it's the week before the CloudStack
Collaboration Conference, and the weekend after SELF, which is the
weekend after Texas LinuxFest. 

I did talk to one of the conference organizers a while back about
attracting more doc contributors - and his response was essentially that
we're welcoming enough and have sane contribution policies, but it's a
matter of building enough critical mass of people who understand the
project and wish to actually do docs...

Yeah, we should probably simply revise that to something like "people
who are willing to be assigned bugs in this area" or "people who know
these areas".

I confess, I don't go through each and every bug in Jira - but I'd like
some way to enable people who aren't intimately familiar with the
project to ping me personally if they see bugs in the Web site or
documentation that I can fix.

Didn't complete my thought - would be worth putting on the wiki *on a
new page* so that it's not conflicting with the "standard" DevCloud
info.

If you've gotten something working in Fusion, it would be worth putting
that on the wiki for folks who aren't a fan of VirtualBox. (Or folks who
already use Fusion and don't want to run two desktop virt. products...)

[REMINDER] Weekly IRC Meeting on Wednesday, 17:00 UTC

2013-04-29 Thread Joe Brockmeier
Hi all, 

A friendly reminder, we have a weekly IRC meeting scheduled for
Wednesday
(1 May 2013) at 17:00 UTC [1]. 

Also - I'll be attending DevOps Days this week in Austin, and probably
won't 
be available, so if someone else can moderate, that'd be helpful.

The standing agenda is here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/irc-meetings-logs-and-minutes.html

Please join us in #cloudstack-meeting on Freenode. If you're not a
regular IRC user, you can use the webchat: http://webchat.freenode.net/

It's useful if everyone arrives at the meeting time and stays on topic.
Please try to arrive at or very close to 17:00 UTC and be sure to follow
the topics as they're discussed, and add "EOF" or something similar when
you're done speaking. 

Meeting summaries are posted immediately after the meeting, you can find
older meeting logs here:

Re: [DISCUSS] Authorship of translations

> Do we have a legal issue here ? 

Question: When I go to Transifex and work on Apache docs, is it clear
that I am submitting my work under the ASL and that it needs to be my
own original authorship, etc.?

If not - do we have a way of changing this?

So, I tried to scour legal-discuss for any prior discussions that might
shed light on this for us.

The closest I came was this:

http://markmail.org/message/zffpqhaaeoc2bkmm

Specifically, the bit about committing translations done "by a
translation team inside" a company. I think we're in a similar boat,
with folks wanting to check in translations done by a team on Transifex. 

This *might* be an issue worth raising on legal-discuss, if not because
we're totally unclear, then to provide a "paper trail" for any other
projects that are using or thinking about using Transifex for their
translations.
