We'll be having the first Deltacloud Community call next Thursday, 15th
November @ 1700 CET (Prague, Brno, GMT+1) - which means 0800 PST (US
West Coast, GMT-8) or 1100 EST (US East Coast, GMT-5).
The idea is to have two topics for discussion during a 1 hour call.
Please vote for topics on the etherpad @
http://piratepad.net/DeltacloudCall - by putting a +1(name) next to the
topic you like. Feel free to add your own topic - e.g.:
* Deltacloud clients - working with cURL, the ruby client, the web
browser (e.g. using a RESTClient plugin) - VOTES: +1(marios),
* How to file bug reports for Deltacloud - process, what to report,
following up. - VOTES +1(anna), +1(james)
The call in details are on the etherpad - I will arrange an elluminate
session if necessary (depending on topics) and send a reminder together
with the agenda before the call.
All are welcome!

My thoughts behind this were to ensure a clean run every time this
script is invoked.
I'll probably incorporate the standard ruby option parser at some point
for more options and can add a flag such as -f to toggle overriding
local changes before attempting to make updates.

updated website content
by Mo Morsi
The following series of patches reorganizes the website
to simplify it and consolidate information. I tossed the
statically generated site up on one of my servers for
previewing:
http://aeolus.syracloud.net/
Included in this patchset:
- simplification of content, removing redundant items
- news removed, driven by the blogroll rss feed
- focused on the Aeolus being an umbrella project with
project specific resources managed by those communities
- embed the google map into the team section
- various other changes
Thoughts? Comments? ACKs?

Re: Website move -- to-do list

(note - added aeolus-devel on CC to this)
During the Community talk this morning, it was mentioned there are a bunch
of pages that aren't being found through Google. But these same pages work
when a person uses the non "www." version of the website, because our redirects
take care of it.
As a thought, GitHub lets us do custom 404 pages:
https://help.github.com/articles/custom-404-pages
So it sounds like we could use javascript on the custom 404 page, to redirect
to the correct end URL.
Does that sound workable?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Aeolus Dev Conference - Tuesday afternoon notes
by Jiří Stránský
Hopefully I got the important stuff right :)
Converge UI
===========
* Motivation - converge Aeolus Conductor and Katello web UI look, also converge
Conductor within itself
* MIT license
* Components - shell (header, footer, ...) vs. content (forms, ...)
* Currently git submodule
* TODO:
* More content components
* Developer guide
* Make it a separate open-source project
Personas
========
* Carl, Bert, the infrastructure consumers
* Dennis, the app designer
* Sam, the system administrator
* /Persona descriptions will be available later/
Rails Engines
=============
* A Rails App mountable into another
* Isolation of Ruby namespace, routes, views
* Uses the same DB as the host app, comes with own migrations
* DB tables are also namespaced
* Testing with a dummy app located in test/dummy
* http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/engines.html
Tim
===
* Rails Engine that talks to ImageFactory
* ImageWarehouse will be dropped
* Tim works with ImageFactory v2
* Build is no longer there (it's a Conductor concept)
* Metadata also stored in Conductor
* ImageFactory's model: BaseImage ---< TargetImage ---< ProviderImage
* Tim responsibilities
* Template store
* Versioning
* Custom data
* Image imports
* Error & status reporting
* Metadata store
Alberich
========
* Rails Engine for permissions
* The functionality is already present in conductor, now it's being factored out
* Reusable roles
* Assigned not to only user/group, but to pairs - (user, object) or (group,
object) => that results in (user, role, object) tuple
* E.g. Frank is an owner of deployable Abcdef
* Querying - `check_privilege` vs. asserting `require_privilege`
* Filtering ActiveRecord queries - `list_for_user`
* Requires classes to represent users and groups (class names are
configurable). The classes that represent target objects must include
PermissionedObject mixin.

scenario: single rhev datacenter with multiple data domains
by Giulio Fidente
hi there,
as per subject, I'm currently looking at a scenario where one configures
ovirt/rhev with a single datacenter and multiple data domains
currently I don't think imgfac allows for configuration of the data
domain where the templates are imported
ovirt/rhev can only instantiate VMs on the same data domain where the
template
is located
these two seem to prevent cloudforms from being used efficiently in such
a configuration
are there workarounds I'm not aware of? work in progress? worth an RFE?

SysAdmin Persona: Sam
by Justin Clift
Hi all,
This is the text for the "SysAdmin" Persona (Sam), presented a
few minutes ago.
Trying to think of how to specify needs/wants, but nothing's
coming to mind. Any suggestions?
+ Justin
**************************************************************
Sysadmin Persona: Sam
Personal background
*******************
* Sam is a 35 year old male from Hanoi, Vietnam, who migrated
to east coast US about 10 years ago.
* He is the sole breadwinner in his family, happily married to
his wife of 8 years, and has a 3 year old child.
* Sam works as the Aeolus SysAdmin for "T-Bone", a large
monopoly style Telco in his area.
* He previously worked on Enterprise Class Solaris Systems for
many years, and moved to working with Linux (mostly RHEL), a
few years ago.
Environment
***********
* "T-Bone" has dedicated NAS, SAN and network teams, with a 2
week+ (min) turn around time for requests.
* Aeolus runs on a single server in this environment, a dual
cpu (2 x quad core) HP DL380 with 24 GB RAM, and 2TB of
local RAID 0 SATA storage.
* Aeolus is hooked up to a small vSphere 5.x cluster. vCenter
is running on a server identical to the Aeolus one, and 4 x
hosts (also HP DL 380's) with 96GB RAM and 4TB of shared
NetApp storage (a fast NAS).
* Sam's team also use Aeolus with EC2, for giving their
partners access to selected builds of their applications,
for testing and qualification (not prod).
* The Aeolus environment is used by the developers in a part
of T-Bone's business and government division. About 40
people.
* The standard development platform the developers write for
is RHEL 6.x, JBoss (various releases), and Oracle 10g/11g.
* NetBackup is the enterprise backup solution, so Sam wrote
custom shell scripts to do backups of Aeolus nightly.
They don't back up generated Aeolus images, but do backup
up everything else (Aeolus state, XML templates, etc).
* Sam has a ToDo list item to investigate RHEV, and has been
toying around with oVirt on a spare desktop box. Not in
depth with it yet.
Needs / wants
*************
* ???

Your mission (should you choose to accept it)
by Hugh O. Brock
We had a good discussion yesterday here in Brno on the mission of
Aeolus. Four teams went off and came up with four different statements,
which we then jammed together to produce the result below. Let us know
what you think -- suggestions are welcome, but please be constructive.
--Hugh
"Aeolus mission: to provide superior tools and workflows for flexible
construction, management, and monitoring of multi-instance systems
across clouds."

Fwd: Announcing Deltacloud Community Call

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Announcing Deltacloud Community Call
Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:50:02 +0200

Hi
we think it might be useful to have a weekly open/community call to
discuss all things Deltacloud. The proposal is for 1 hour calls, the
format of which is up for discussion. The idea right now is to have 2
'topics' per call; topics can be:
1. A presentation on a particular aspect - 'How do exceptions work in
deltacloud'?
2. A question about something you're working on - 'JIRA ticket
DTACLOUD_555 - discussion and possible approaches'
3. An 'open' Q/A session with the devs.
4. Anything else you want/think might be useful...
If on a given week there are no topics then we can just have an open
discussion on "what i'm working on and how I've implemented it" for
early feedback for example.
So, as we are all all over the place - it may be tricky to find a
suitable time. An entirely unscientific poll of a few people has
indicated that the 0800 Pacific time may be a good slot... making it
1600 in Europe and 1100 in NYC. It also looks like Thurdsay/Friday would
be a good day due to conflicts earlier in the week. Please indicate your
preference on the poll @ http://doodle.com/c2ht9zf4e7gngrhu (be sure
to change the time zone to whatever is local to you). If you can't make
*any* of those times then just vote no to everything and reply to this
mail with suggestions.
A preliminary etherpad for the first call is @
