Reminderping because I promised: Checking in on Test Day plans.
by Robyn Bergeron
Hi folks,
I've seen a lot of action on the channel and on the mailing list - but I
thought I'd give a nice reminder ping that we have the Test Day on
Thursday. We'll start doing announcements tomorrow, and feel free to
blog about it yourself or etc., but I just want to make sure that
everyone is feeling like they're on track to be ready, or will be ready
fairly early tomorrow.
Speaketh now! :)

EC2 re-imbursement for the cloud test day?
by Chris Lalancette
Robyn, et al,
In the past I know we have reimbursed people for using their own personal
EC2 accounts when participating in test days. Can we do that again for
the upcoming cloud test day on October 20? If so, what do we need to do to
make sure that happens?
Thanks,

Cloud infrastructure package group
by Bill Nottingham
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731712
The HekaFS maintainers were looking for a appropriate group for their
package. I was thinking that perhaps having a 'cloud infrastructure'
or 'cloud support' group might be the best place, but we don't have
one of those, and I'm not sure what all packages should be in it.
Would someone fom the Cloud SIG like to take a stab at it?
Thanks,
Bill

Cloud SIG Meeting Minutes :: 2011-10-14
by Robyn Bergeron
Muy Importante:
Test Day is on 10/20.
If you are planning on participating in Test Day Stuff and weren't here
today (I'm looking at you, OpenStack people) - I'll be checking in with
everyone for status updates on Monday evening / Tuesday morning. We need
to have at least lists of tests, preferably with test matrices so people
can check things off if they've done them, bonus points if you have
actual test cases spelled out in the wiki.
If you can give an update on your progress prior to then, or can link to
what you've done so far on this list, that would be MUCH APPRECIATED.
Logs and Minutes follow.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Fwd: A small (685K) Fedora appliance for the test day
by Richard W.M. Jones
----- Forwarded message -----
I've written a small Fedora supermin appliance for the test day. It's
just under 700K download, but will only work for users who already
have Fedora 15, 16 or Rawhide installed on the host.
I suggested to Mark and Alan that we give them this. If it doesn't
work, then they can download a full appliance image that Alan is
building instead.
I have tested these images on stock Fedora 15 (32 bit), F16 (64 bit)
and Rawhide (64 bit).
For Fedora 15, use this:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3421870
For Fedora 16, use this:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3421867
For Rawhide, use this:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3421803
You will need ~600 MB free space in /var/lib since that is where the
real appliance gets built. Just install the RPM and run
'boot-a-fedora-appliance' (as root). Then read that script and the
README file.
Upstream source:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=a-fedora-appliance.git;a=summary
Those are Koji scratch builds, so I guess they will get deleted after
a while. I will recreate them shortly before the test day itself.
The appliance uses a separate (external) kernel and initrd. We could
change that. Not sure what is the best way for OpenStack though.
Rich.

boxgrinder vs. AMC "create image"
by sean darcy
I've been messing with the i386 ebs-backed F15 on a micro-instance. Very
impressed. Really spectacular.
Now I've been modifying and adapting it to use as a mail server. I'd
like to create a modified ami. I've seen the material using boxgrinder
on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Creation
but this may require more cloud-foo than I possess.
I see on the AWS Management Console an instance action "create image".
Would this be a coward's way out?

(rbergeron, 19:07:18)
* everything on those images excludes docfiles (rbergeron, 19:08:36)
* means image was built with --excludedocs, meaning it comes with no
man pages, or other documentation - this also turns out to persist
to stuff that is newly installed (rbergeron, 19:09:50)
* to fix you need to remove "%_excludedocs 1" from
/etc/rpm/macros.imgcreate before you install things (rbergeron,
19:10:07)
* This will not be an issue next time (gholms, 19:10:24)

* But we lack any sort of test matrix / how to test / what to test,
which is what we do need from that angle (rbergeron, 19:17:36)

Cloud SIG meeting today! Wahoo! 2011-10-07
by Robyn Bergeron
Meeting Details: Friday, 2011/10/07 @1900 UTC (In NA - East coast, 3pm;
West coast, 12pm.)
Meeting channel: #fedora-meeting, irc.freenode.net
We have a test day scheduled for 10/20. We have nothing ready. If you
intend to have your feature/project/interest be part of this day,
please, for the love of bacon, come to the meeting today, or send a mail
beforehand at least indicating your interest. Prior to test day we need
to have test plans/matrices for anything cloudy we want users to test,
and have some good instructions for users to get things set up to be
able to test them.
I expect this to be the majority of discussion today, along with a bit
of talk about EC2 and how to let people know it's available /
announcements/etc.
Also, i have to bail out at :45 past the hour during the meeting, so
I'll need a wrangler to wrap it up. :) plz volunteer, win cookies!

Beta AMI announcement?
by Max Spevack
Hi folks,
I know that there was work afoot to release the F16 Beta AMi on the same
day as the rest of F16 Beta.
Is that something that is good to go? And if it's not, what was the
thing that blocked or held up the release of the Beta? The last AMI
that I can see owned by aws(a)fedoraproject.org is
125523088429/Fedora-16-Beta-ec2-20110923-x86_64-sda -- I played around
with that AMI and while I think there were a few cloud-init issues, it
worked well enough to get the authorized_keys in the right place.
I'd also recommend that it become part of the schedule and workflow to
update the get.fedoraproject.org page with a link to the AMI IDs, as
well as the EC2 Images wiki page itself, with those AMI IDs. Not only
for Alpha/Beta, but definitely for GA.
Maybe even add a blurb to the release announcement when it talks about
the different ways to consume Fedora.
To me, those are the sorts of actions that begin to put Fedora on EC2 at
a similar level to some of the other architectures, etc.
Good think Fedora's PM and RelEng are on this list :)
