I recently was part of a phone conversation discussing Tashi and Poolboy (a 
project at Yahoo that has similar goals) on 10/20.  I mentioned on the phone 
bridge that we should post notes here so that those who were unable to call in 
could get an overview.  Here are some quick notes I took:

Yahoo Participants:
        Peter Meulbroek
        Dan Mercer
        Daniel Muino
        Robert Miller
        Jay Buffington
        Andrew Evans
        Suraj Belavalgidad
        Jud Dangall

Intel Participants:
        Michael Kozuch
        Dave O'Hallaron
        Michael Ryan

Yahoo (poolboy):
        Open-source working group presentation was done recently, results look 
good
        Patent/IP lawyer meetings ongoing
        Expect to finish meetings with them on Wednesday (10/22)
        Releasing first piece this month (yvm) (VMM management layer -- node 
manager equivalent)
        Management console next
                More site-specific code involved and harder to clean up
        Might or might not release UI piece because of GPLv3 licensing
        RESTful interfaces
        Tomer Shiran joining Yahoo! as intern this Wednesday or next Monday
        Requirements specification soon to be released on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Intel (tashi):
        Current code is almost entirely Intel code, with a little bit of CMU 
student contribution
        Intel is kicking off a power-management thrust
        Power-management is particularly interesting with the storage layer
        Preparing to propose Tashi as a research project (within Intel Research)
        OpenCirrus review with upper management is soon

Next meeting time and bridge number TBD
