[RFE] Distinguished volume ids between different kinds of ISOs
by Fabiano Fidêncio 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

The reasoning behind this request is to have more accurate data in osinfo-db that could be used, for instance, by GNOME Boxes and virt-manager. Currently, as the "Everything", "DVD", "Minimal" and "Network" ISOs have exactly the same Volume id (CentOS 7 x86_64) we can't distinguish the ISOs the user have in order to help them to properly pick up whatever is better for their needs. The way we have been currently working this around is by having the ISO's volume size (which are usually different) combined with their Volume id. This approach, however, won't work well in CentOS case as we're offering the "Rolling" ISOs to the users and their volume size will change on every new addition/removal. I've also noticed that for the Live ISOs they volume id is already distinguished (CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-* vs CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-*) thus the RFE to see whether doing the same for the other ISOs would be something appealing to CentOS. This conversation can also be done in https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15260 in case the developers prefer that way. Best Regards, -- Fabiano Fidêncio

HPC Sig
by Paul Graydon 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi all, There was some email conversation on this list a couple of weeks ago about the HPC SIG, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere or have any solid conclusion, other than "join #centos-devel". Between some freenode instability/spam protections etc. some issues with my usual persistent session, and just sheer quantity of conversation happening there, it's somewhat hard to figure out where anything sits. I didn't see any obvious signs of further conversation there, but there's a good chance I missed it. If there was further conversation and someone would be able to point me towards it off list, I'd love to read it. As a cloud provider that provides high spec bare metal servers to customers, we're finding a lot of usage and interest from customers with various forms of HPC workloads, everything from GROMACs to Hadoop and beyond. CentOS, likewise, continues to be a popular distribution for our customers, across every hardware and virtual machine specification. If there's ideas on how to make HPC better on CentOS, I'd love to be part of the conversation, and see if there are opportunities to help. Paul

06 Sep '18

Greetings everyone, I am Vipul, an associate software engineer at Red Hat. I have been contributing to Fedora and Gluster for a while now and have recently joined Fedora&CentOS Infra Team. As I am a **very** new addition to the team, I yet have to discover different areas and projects to decide what I will be working on. Thankfully Brian [0] is helping me fill the gaps. I know my way around Python, Bash, Ansible and little bit of Jenkins. Using these (and learning more on the way), I am hoping to be of some help as soon as possible. You can know more about me at [1] Looking forward to getting involved in the community. Thank you [0]: https://wiki.centos.org/BrianStinson [1]: vsiddhar.me/about/ -- Vipul Siddharth Fedora | CentOS Red Hat
