Boston Summit 2014

2014-07-22 Thread Colin Walters
Hi,

I know people are busy with GUADEC prep, but I just wanted to start the
thread early around this year's Boston Summit.  Last year's was in
Montréal, so following the pattern we'll do Boston again, right?

I can take as an action item getting in touch with MIT for a venue
again.  Would someone be able to look at sponsors?

 Colin, I've forwarded you a mail from Karen with confirmation that the
 rooms have been booked.  She did this back in May.

Awesome!  I updated the wiki page with this info.

 I'm based in Montreal if I can help out in some way.
 It's a beautiful city despite some political issues.

Is anyone else from the 2011 Montreal team around who could help
organize again there?

 I wouldn't discard rackspace, they have been quite keen to sponsor
 Ubuntu in many ways. Plus they support and fund OpenStack instead of
 their proprietary AWS cloud platform.

True!  Rackspace would be great as well, and I do agree that it's a lot
more in line with GNOME's mission to support Free Software.

Reaching out to Amazon for credit?

2013-01-04 Thread Colin Walters
Hi,

From:
http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2013/01/bits_from_the_DPL_for_December_2012/

Debian has an offer from Amazon to get $8,000 USD of credit - any chance
we could do the same?

With an estimated $200/month I could easily maintain multiple full time
autobuilders (gnome-ostree, mingw32-cross builds of GTK+, jhbuild, etc.)
Just one heavy utilization Large reserved instance on a 1 year term is
$62/month.

There'd only be some small bits to figure out when deploying builders on
AWS - mainly we'd need a way to have the build servers authenticate
against the GNOME servers (likely just publishing a list of authorized
public ssh keys via HTTPS).

 I am glad that this does work -- but why must it use LLVM?  Is there
 something in GNOME that is not designed to compile with the GNU
 compiler collection?

Yes, the Mesa 3D project uses LLVM to dynamically generate machine code.
As I understand it, one of the driving factors in the technology choice
here was that the compiler is structured as a set of libraries with an
API - in contrast to how GCC was historically.

So in GNOME, we depend on both compilers now.

Boston Summit 2012

2012-08-07 Thread Colin Walters
Hi,

At GUADEC, it was announced that the Boston Summit 2012 is on!  More
information is available here:

https://live.gnome.org/Boston2012

Please do fill in the attendance list so we can somewhat accurately
gauge required refreshment quantity, etc.

There's a lot of topics to discuss, and I hope we can continue some of
the momentum from the awesome GUADEC that just finished!
