hi,
I'd like to invite everyone wanting to contribute to the Cloud SIG and
representing a project outside centos.org to come along for a chat on
google hangout at the CentOS OfficeHours 23rd Jan 2014 @ 16:00 UTC.
Because we only have a few slots for people to talk, I've shortlisted
these folks:
OpenStack: Mike Burns, Dave Neary, Rich Bowen
Eucalyptus: Greg DK
OpenNebula: Jaime Melis
CloudStack: Sebastien Goasguen
oVirt: Doron Fediuck
If you want to be on this list, please get in touch. If you are on this
list but cant make it at that date/time, please nominate someone else in
your place and let me know their email address so I can notify them of
the url to join.
This will be a video/audio session and will be publicly broadcast over
youtube/hangouts on air; the recording of the session will be available
immediately after. Bonus cookies for everyone who turns up in their
project tshirts!
You can see what time that is on your local timezone at this url :
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20140123T16&am=30
About the session:
- Plan on an hour
- Every project should do a few minutes worth of a pitch about what they
would like to see as a good first goal and a good longer term goal.
- We can then discuss delivery mechanis, and how the forward maintenance
of the projects payload is going to work ( essentially, workout how the
rpms will map to os/ and updates/ )
- Consider the workflow from git.centos.org ( KB to do a 5 min demo )

hi
At the moment, we use gitorious.org for inbounc test contributions, but
we've adopted github for some of the newer content going into
git.centos.org with manual bridges to/from git.centos.org in both cases.
I just want to make sure we are doing what people find easiest, and then
we do the same thing all around, with that in mind should we :
- have mirrors for content on both github.com and gitorious.org
- mirror everything to gitorious.org only
- mirror everything to github.com only
ofcourse, with ACL's coming up into git.centos.org - there will be
plenty of opportunity to work directly inside git.centos.org ( with
post-recv triggers pushing to whatever wherever we mirror the repos to ).

So, running this by the list for opinions:
We're going to be moving the Artwork SIG from its current home at
https://projects.centos.org/trac/artwork/ (svn) to a new home on
git.centos.org.
In this transition, we'd like to clean up some of the older content
that's no longer used. The easy way to do this would be to pull current
svn repo, strip out the legacy content, and then upload clean into git.
While this is my preference, the drawback is that it removes any commit
history for the project prior to the cutover date. The benefit is we
have a clean, and more importantly, current starting point to work from
for the seven beta build, which we'd like to start putting out in public.
Are there objections to this approach?

Hello,
Can someone more involved with the Cloud SIG advise on how to use
cloud-init in such a way that it does not violate the SIG rules?
I.e. please add it to one of the CentOS repos so we can use it
"legally". :-)
The purpose is including it in "official" Cloudstack CentOS images.
Regards,
Lucian

hi,
We are organising a hack session to try and build, test and deliver a
set of CentOS-5/6 32bit/64bit images usable by various onpremise cloud
setups. This email aims to give everyone an overview of what to expect
on the day, so we can jump right in on the day and get productive. This
is a bit of a wordy email, so feel free to skip details - I will have
most of the important stuff on paper to hand out on the day as well.
The Hack session is expected to start just after lunch, and will run
through to the end of the day ( ~ 17:30 );
On the day, I will have a local Wifi network with SSID DojoHackathon
running at the time, everyone wanting to participate will need to get
onto that. dhcp on the network will hand out 172.30.30.100 - 250 IP's.
There is a gateway on .1 that will NAT requests to the upstream internet
( but I'm told its slow, so dont rely on it being there ). If anyone
needs content to pull, please let either me or Johnny know, we will
mirror it down before the event and make sure its on the mirror host on
the network at the time. We are going to have :
- CentOS 5/6 on both 32/64 bit x86
- EPEL 5/6
- EPEL-Testing 5/6
Various people representing projects have offered to bring pre-setup
cloud infra on their laptops, thanks for that. Lets try and target
everyone of those on the day. So far the list is :
- OpenNebula
- CloudStack
- OpenStack ( the HPCloud edition )
- OpenStack ( the RDO edition )
A rather basic idea of what to expect in terms of infra/network on the
day : http://bit.ly/1ffXr4G ; Workflow anticipated:
- git.centos.org ( hosted locally ) will have the git repos that host
kickstarts and metadata files that have some info around the kickstarts.
- anyone can clone the git repos ( I will make sure its pretty clear as
to what repo to get for what task, ideally there will only be one git
repo with all the kickstarts ).
- make changes / edits / push back to git.centos.org ( please ensure git
user.name and user.email is sane )
- git post-recv triggers kick off the actual image builds on the
image-builder node, which will then push the resulting file to
cloud.centos.org ( both image-builder and cloud.centos.org mirrors will
be hosted locally ).
- cloud images from cloud.centos.org can then be downloaded and
instantiated on the cloud infra people are running;
- once satisfied that the image does everything that is 'required', git
clone the t_functional repo, and run the test suite. PASS on that would
indicate them that the image is good to ship. For the day, we will trim
the test suite down to just the basic stuff that runs in 10 min or less.
- Indicate pass with a comment in the metadata file and git commit which
starts with 'RELEASEABLE ', git push.
rinse & repeat for 32bit and 64bit.
Worth noting here that the reason i have all the various components
setup to work with real world urls ( faked by dnsmasq on the .1 machine
) is that post hackathon the exact same infra will go live on the same
urls. With one major change : we will have little or no ACL's fon the
git repos at the hackathon to make live easier and encourage
participation. Post Hackathon, we'll need to establish a mechanism for
people to request commit access.
If we still have time at the end of the day, we can shoot to deliver
something that works for vmware, ovirt and docker. I am still waiting to
hear back from the Eucalyptus guys if someone from their side is going
to be at the hack session.
please note: all kickstarst and images will need to only consume content
hosted in mirror.centos.org and epel ( or if you need something else,
let us know before Wed 29th ).
See you there,

Hi,
Greetings first: I am maintaining the PostgreSQL community RPMs :
http//yum.postgresql.org
About 2 years before, Karanbir and I spoke a bit about adding these RPMs
to CentOS repositories. Right now, only 8.4 is officially supported in
RHEL/CentOS, which will be EOL'ed in a few months by upstream. However,
community has RPMs for all versions from 8.4 to 9.3, which are in active
development and released at the same time with the tarballs.
Community RPMs has the ability for parallel installation also, so that
people can run multiple version as the same time.
So, how would you like to proceed? The SVN repo is open to public, and
all you will need to do is pulling them and building the packages on
CentOS servers.
Regards,

At 10am CST / 16:00 UTC we'll be starting the packaging office hours
discussion for SIGs and Variants. if you've got some questions you'd
like us to address, please email them to us, or ask your questions via
irc in #centos-devel on freenode.
If you want to just follow along, we'll be broadcasting the session via

hi guys,
pushing this a bit forward since there is quite a bit of activity in
this area already :
http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/CloudInstance
while there are quite a few people keen on this subject, I've not added
names to the wiki page, please come along and either edit it in ( if you
are editgroup members ) or request addition and setup a homepage for
yourself on the wiki.
going out on a limb here but I am going to propose we get cloud-init out
of EPEL into a local repo here so we can mange the entire stack locally
for the time being while the larger repo dependancy conversations are
ongoing.
Also, this Wednesday's OfficeHours on Wed 22nd at 10:00 UTC (
http://wiki.centos.org/OfficeHours ) is dedicated to the Openstack
images conversation.
