Attention Cloud SIG pals: YOUR FEATURES WANTED
by Robyn Bergeron 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi crew, So you probably heard that Fedora 15 is out. Woo! And that means one thing: I'll be asking everyone endlessly for MOAR FEATURES IN FEDORA 16. Feature submission deadline, per my currently still-slightly-drafty F16 schedule page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/Schedule is July 12. Feature freeze is July 26, which is when your feature should be more or less testable, and significantly complete. If you are wondering what constitutes a "feature", this wiki page is a good place to start. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy If you are planning on doing packaging of any sort of cloud-related project, I would recommend starting to work on it *now*, including getting your Feature moving through the Feature process. Now, I hear that the person who usually runs the Cloud SIG meetings also happens to be the Fedora Feature Wrangler as part of her $dayjob, and that she might be a good person to ask if you have questions. (That's me, in case you're wondering.) If you're not sure if what you have should be a feature, my simple answer is that if it's new to Fedora, then, probably. :) Also: If you're planning on doing any packaging of your favorite project, please pipe up here! I'm sure everyone would love to hear about what the plans are for F16. We've got plenty of people willing to help out with reviews and packaging right now, so by all means, seize the opportunity. (Hint: CloudFS, Aeolus, CloudStack, and Eucalyptus folks, I'm looking at you. Even if it's for F17. Do tell your plans. Please. :D) If you've already got a feature in progress and a feature page to match, please list it on the wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG#Cloud_Features_in_Fedora_16 Note that we already have one in the pipeline, Sheepdog. (Thanks to ke4qqq and sdake for working on this!) -Robyn

Cloud SIG wiki page: Cleanup done, but your info needed!
by Robyn Bergeron 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hello folks, FYI that I have gone in and scrubbed up the wiki page to look a little more presentable. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG Please note that I've added a few items - a link to an individual page of things needing packaging, F16 plans, current projects, etc. If you have big plans for stuff you'd like to work on, be it documentation, a feature, a project, whatever, please list it on the wiki page. :) -Robyn

Review needed: Sheepdog
by David Nalley 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hey guys, I've been looking at sheepdog pretty intensely over the past few weeks, and it seems relatively simple to package, and of course $dayjob is interested in sheepdog, so I pushed this up. If you are unfamiliar with sheepdog, take a look here: http://www.osrg.net/sheepdog/ If you have a boring weekend, feel free to review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706565 Thanks, --David

CloudStack
by David Nalley 23 May '11

23 May '11

So one of my $dayjob goals is to get Cloudstack (a f/loss IaaS platform) into Fedora. I've put a wiki page up here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloudstack Right now it largely consists of the dependency list - and I'll soon start working on those. If you have an interest in packaging or reviewing, feel free to take one or more of these packages. Thanks

Easy entry-level packaging: python-netifaces
by David Nalley 21 May '11

21 May '11

Hi folks: We've talked about increasing the packager base of the Cloud SIG and I have what appears to be a relatively easy python package (python-netifaces). What's more, it's needed for the current release of openstack-swift, so it's blocking our update of that package. If you'd like to dig your heels and start working on this package, please announce your intention here. I'll take care of sponsoring you and helping you to get things going if you want to do the work. If no one steps up over the next few days, I'll probably package it myself, but I figure it's a relatively simple way to get started in packaging if you aren't a packager already. (yes, I know, I should have brought this up in the meeting today, but I am just now getting a bit of time to work on some of the packages I maintain, and just discovered this dependency.) Link: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/netifaces/0.5 --David

CloudFS status
by Jeff Darcy 21 May '11

21 May '11

I'm going to miss the meeting, so here are the CloudFS highlights. * I got SSL working both for the management stuff http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=CloudFS.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/cloudfsd) and for the data path (https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/pull/2) * Kaleb has checked in UID-mapping code (http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=CloudFS.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/uidmap) This means that all of the essential parts for CloudFS 1.0 are nearing completion. There's still a lot of work to be done - integration, functional and performance testing, debugging, packaging - but it's starting to look like it'll be ready well before F16. :) See you all next week.

Aeolus 0.2.0 Released and Ready for installation
by Justin Clift 07 May '11

07 May '11

All, The Aeolus team are pleased to announce a significant new release of Aeolus, the multi-cloud deployment solution, sponsored by Red Hat. This release, version 0.2.0, marks the introduction of several important enhancements: * Added capability to import Amazon AMIs through web UI * Self-service users can now create templates and launch instances * Streamlined configuration data to provide immediately usable installation * Now uses the 2nd incarnation of Image Factory to build images * Added ability to upload existing images to newly added Cloud Providers * Added ability to create pools * Added ability to map Cloud Provider Realms to Cloud Engine Realms And several minor fixes or functionality improvements: * Image Warehouse is now the canonical store for image-related data * Improved stability and error reporting of QMF communication with Image Factory * Web interface verified to work end-to-end with the testing driver (mock) * Added ability to search on Instance owner * Added end-to-end testing framework for Aeolus scripts * Bugfix: BZ #690467 - Realm: Deleting mapping of realm w/o selecting anything throws error Aeolus is still some way from feature complete, so is suitable for testing with. But please don't use it with live data at this stage. Installation is very straightforward, with instructions on the website: http://www.aeolusproject.org/get_it.html Packages are available for Fedora 14 x86_64, and RHEL 6.1 x86_64 (Release Candidate or later). Support for Fedora 13 has been discontinued with this release. Upgrading from previous releases can be done using yum. Due to a recent reorganisation of the yum repositories, you need to point to a new repo first, as shown in the above instructions. All testing and bug reports are hugely appreciated, directly contributing towards the quality of Aeolus releases and future growth. If you're a world class Ruby on Rails (RoR) UI designer, our team in Red Hat are hiring, so please get in contact: https://careers.redhat.com/ext/search?act=list&Keyword=Aeolus Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org
