Hello Aeolus community!
You've seen some mails over the past week about the Aeolus developer
conference.
First dev conference I've been too, and was very nifty. Definitely
worthwhile attending these things. ;)
<snip>
* We split into teams, each of which came back with a proposed
Aeolus
mission statement. After much discussion we refined the four
proposals into one which reads:
"Aeolus mission: to provide superior tools and workflows for flexible
construction, management, and monitoring of multi-instance systems
across clouds."
Please ACK or NACK-with-suggestions the mission statement by
November 13.
ACK. Have seen Giulio's suggestion too, but "clouds" sounds simpler and
more relevant to our audience than "cloud providers". (to me anyway)
<snip>
* We agreed that in the future the membership of each Cabal would be
determined by nomination and on-list ACKs, and that terms of
membership should align roughly with release boundaries. Members are
free to serve for as many terms as they like however if re-elected.
ACK.
* We agreed to propose a roughly six-month release cycle, subject to
adjustments as needed by the Release Cabal. The next two releases
will be on a bit shorter cycle to get us better aligned with
downstream release boundaries: the Release Cabal will propose a
release integrating Factory 2.0 and Deltacloud 1.0.x by the end of
2012 (i.e. two sprints away), followed by another release around the
end of March which will hopefully include a complete Aeolus API. The
first couple of meetings of the Technical Cabal will finalize the
feature priorities for those two releases.
ACK.
* Each Cabal should have its first meeting the week of November
12. Meetings can be via hangout, IRC, or whatever the Cabal chooses,
but minutes should be published to aeolus-devel.
ACK.
I'd like everyone with commit access to an Aeolus project to
respond
with either ACK or NACK + suggestions to the above proposals, and to
the proposed Cabal membership lists, by November 13. I will consider
failure to respond by November 13 an ACK, as well as an indication
that you're not paying attention.
Third: Matt Wagner, the acting Awesome for the Publicity Cabal,
has volunteered to collect all the presentations given and make them
available on
aeolusproject.org. I'll take charge of getting him the
ones I already have, but if you didn't send your slides to me before,
make sure you send them to him now please.
Thanks once more for all the hard work that went into the week. I am
very excited to see what comes next as we begin pushing planning and
feature development upstream and making our releases available to a
wider audience.
ACKĀ² :)
