I talked a bit more with some folks from the above list. We should
also bring in one person from the Koji upstream, to help with and
consult on plugins and changes needed in current Koji. I'm talking
with mikeb and mikem about having one of them attend.
Based on this list, and the fact that my team members may be asked to
work with Mo Duffy the day before the FAD on a different activity,
it's looking like we'll do this in Westford. (Might as well get
maximum bang from the travel money.) There are a couple people in
Westford interested to stop by and contribute, so that's an added
bonus.
Based on availability of a Koji person as well as avoiding conflicts,
it's starting to look like we'll want to schedule for most arrivals
June 4, departing June 8 (with the core work days being June 5-7).
So, if anyone has a critical conflict with those dates, now's the time
to speak up. :-)
Sorry for a bit of lag time here. I wanted to confirm that the FAD is
going forward as noted for June 5-7. I'm copying all the people who
signed up to attend on the wiki and whom I haven't already contacted.
Here is the current roster of people I show traveling to Westford:
* Dennis Gilmore (RCM)
* Till Maas
* Peter Robinson (RCM)
* Ralph Bean
* Luke Macken
* Mike McLean (RCM)
* Adam Miller
* Will Woods
* Ian McLeod
* Jon Disnard (RCM)
AIUI there are other folks involved in release engineering inside Red
Hat (aka RCM) coming to Westford the week before the FAD, for internal
meetings and teamwork. Some of them may drop by the FAD as well.
The FAD is specifically aimed at building release framework and tools.
These tools will benefit from our colleagues in RHEL and CentOS
rel-eng participating in the FAD. It will be helpful if those folks
can provide input or requirements for the tools that have consensus
from their groups. My hope is the previous RCM meetings will help
with that, to avoid confusion or derailing the hackfest.
The next orders of business:
* Travel.
* We need to book airfares for those folks not covered by Red Hat
RCM. The booking must be centralized, so we can effectively
transfer costs to Red Hat's OSAS team, which is funding the event.
** ACTION: ** Each traveler above *not* marked with "(RCM)" --
send me desired flight information. Please be reasonably frugal,
since our budget is limited. (RCM folks can set up travel as
agreed with their manager since RCM is picking up that cost.)
* We need a couple rental vehicles and people to drive them. Right
now the concept is RCM would rent one minivan (seats 8), and
someone on that team will drive it throughout the weekend; and
someone else from Red Hat would do the same, with that cost picked
up by the FAD budget. We can figure this out in detail based on
travel plans.
* Communication.
* Can we agree that communication on this event and relevant goals
will happen on one of the Fedora lists? I would suggest the
rel-eng@ list but open to other options. Here's the subscriber
