16:08:01 <smoser> Daviey, you're listed there as send request for testing
16:08:20 <smoser> did we send? i dont think so.
16:08:34 <Daviey> smoser: sort of "no".
16:08:45 <smoser> we did release a alpha-2 cloud images . (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/13.04/alpha-2/)
16:08:58 <smoser> hm...
16:09:18 <smoser> ok, so we'll re-action that? i really do think we should make an effort there.
16:09:32 <Daviey> +1
16:09:56 <smoser> #ACTION Daviey send call for alpha-2-ish testing 16:09:56 * meetingology Daviey send call for alpha-2-ish testing 16:10:10 * smoser jamespage to milesone documentation updates (zul, 16:38:45)
16:10:17 <smoser> jamespage, ^
16:10:20 <jamespage> not done yet

16:10:49 <smoser> #topic Raring Development
16:11:03 <smoser> release tracking: http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-r-tracking-bug-tasks.html#server
16:11:10 <jamespage> action was actually to ensure that any doc updates in BP's are milestoned appropriatly
16:11:38 <smoser> jamespage, ah. ok. do you need help there?
16:12:24 <smoser> ok. so release tracking link up there. maas is the biggest thing. and the qemu-kvm.
16:12:37 <smoser> hallyn, do you have a handle on the qemu-kvm bug ?
16:12:45 <jamespage> smoser, nah - its OK - I'll do it
16:12:48 <smoser> bug 1092715
16:12:50 <ubottu> bug 1092715 in qemu-kvm (Ubuntu Raring) "udevadm trigger --action=change not working in quantal and raring" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1092715
16:12:59 <jamespage> that one is killing me slowly
16:13:02 <hallyn> smoser: yes, i just need to talk to pitti again
16:13:12 <hallyn> smoser: there is a real bug in udev,
16:13:17 <smoser> hallyn, please do... that is a real pain
16:13:18 <hallyn> but i want to just work around it 16:13:26 * smoser is tired of 'chmod 666 /dev/kvm'
16:13:34 <hallyn> all right, i'll talk to him today or tomorrow
16:13:36 <hallyn> (depending on his tz)
16:13:37 <jamespage> lol
16:13:57 <smoser> roaksoax, maas and release tracking ?
16:14:04 <smoser> err... sru. i think we're nearing it.
16:14:38 <smoser> hm.. we'll maybe come back to that.
16:14:48 <roaksoax> smoser: well, bigjools had to adapt a patch to django so that it would be done in the maas side instead. But since I just learned he is with leave... then we'll have to ping someone else on the MAAS team
16:15:04 <roaksoax> s/to django/for django/
16:15:09 <smoser> roaksoax, ok. please do follow up there. i'm sure we can find someone on maas team to accomplish.
16:15:11 <smoser> blueprints: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-raring/group/topic-raring-servercloud-overview.html
16:15:29 <roaksoax> smoser: other than that, is merging the latest fixes we have left for it
16:16:23 <smoser> please just be responsible with your blueprints. try to get them into a state that reflects where they actually are, remember that feature freeze is coming up, and ping jamespage, daviey, or I if you are concerned about their status.
16:16:59 <smoser> release schedule at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule . feature freeze is March 7.

16:17:10 <smoser> #topic Ubuntu Server Team Events
16:17:13 <smoser> anyone have anything here ?
16:18:09 <smoser> i think that jcastro is going to scale this week.
16:18:36 <smoser> http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/
16:18:46 <smoser> and talking ther eabout juju.
16:18:49 <smoser> anyone have anything else ?
16:19:01 <smoser> ok. moving on.
16:19:05 <smoser> #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)
16:20:13 <smoser> this topic should probably be up for consideration on removal. doesn't seem to have been very busy recently.
16:20:17 <smoser> moving on
16:20:26 <smoser> #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)
16:20:32 <smb> Finally tracked down an elusive Xen bug that was paining Precise
16:20:32 <smb> but potentially lurked around till now. That is currently going
16:20:32 <smb> upstream and then back (bug 1011792).
16:20:32 <smb> Not sure I got more beside my struggles with libvirt. ;-P Any
16:20:32 <smb> questions?
16:20:35 <ubottu> bug 1011792 in linux-lts-backport-oneiric (Ubuntu) "Kernel lockup running 3.0.0 and 3.2.0 on multiple EC2 instance types" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1011792
16:20:50 <smb> ..
16:21:21 <smoser> smb, i would love for you to fix my interest in providing 'console=ttyS0' everywhere on command lines and have that not screw things up when there is not ttyS0
16:22:09 <smoser> most recently causing issues at 1122245
16:22:20 <smb> smoser, I could imagine our method of fixing your interest might be incompatible...
16:22:52 <hallyn> put the bat away....
16:22:58 <smb>
16:23:25 <smb> The problem seemed that the kernel itself has no issue... it is hard to tell user-space what to use...
16:23:33 <smoser> smb, well, any ways i dream of fixing it from user-space are basically doomed.
16:23:42 <smoser> as the kernel has this nice buffer on writes to /dev/console
16:23:58 <smoser> so things work for a while, and then randomly faily.
16:24:32 <smoser> so, its really toufh to come up with a way that user space could "fix" the situation or work around it.
16:25:13 <smoser> so, my request is really that you just try to think of a way that writes to /dev/console could never fail.
16:25:52 <smb> smoser, I try to think on it. Though not promising too much
16:26:27 <smoser> k
16:26:38 <smoser> #topic Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (rbasak)
16:26:52 <smoser> (smb, thank you for being prepared for your section).
16:27:54 <smoser> rbasak not present, moving on.
16:28:01 <smoser> #topic Open Discussion
16:28:16 <smoser> o. i have one topic here, that is "QA".
16:28:24 <smoser> in 2 repsects
16:28:39 <smoser> a.) should we change/remove/update that section of our meeting ? it seems not to have much in it.
16:29:08 <smoser> b.) are we having a call for testing, and what should that mean ? what manual tests do we have around still ? what things should we ask people to test?
16:29:40 <smoser> anyone have comments on that? i'm largely talking to myself today.
16:29:40 <jamespage> most 'ISO' tests are now automated
16:29:57 <jamespage> if we where going to call for testing I would think two things would be good
16:30:15 <jamespage> 1) write dep-8 tests - we have a big list
16:30:34 <jamespage> 2) exercise stuff off-piste - generalist testing
16:30:58 <roaksoax> I think 1) makes lots of sense
16:31:03 <roaksoax> to get the community engadged
16:31:43 <hallyn> should we invite gema for this section?
16:31:52 <hallyn> or have jamespage represent?
16:32:24 <roaksoax> jamespage: represent!!
16:32:25 <jamespage> hallyn, tbh some of the reason the dep-8 bp is going nowhere is that I'm focussed elsewhere
16:32:25 <roaksoax>
16:32:51 <hallyn> jamespage: perhaps we should be discussing that
16:32:58 <arosales> smoser: m_3 will also join jcastro at scale11x this week.
16:33:05 <hallyn> though of course, i doubt we'll find anyone not swamped right now
16:33:17 <m_3> yeah, wasn't gonna correct anything
16:33:19 <hallyn> but maybe the bp needs a team of 2-3 ppl
16:33:26 <jamespage> yeah - its just down the priority list
16:34:57 <smoser> ok. so in our "requeest for testing" we should generally ask people to test either ISO or cloud images and try to accomplish their generic specific work loads.
16:35:01 <jamespage> hallyn, I think its a good point - if we are going to move to a rolling release inbetween LTS releases of server then knowing when stuff is bust is really importnat
16:35:17 <smoser> hoping to have things fallout that are not found in our testing. and also request that if they are able to add dep-8 tests, that'd be wonderful.
16:35:20 <jamespage> smoser, I think that would be great!
16:35:31 <m_3> should we add in requests for charm testing (i.e., /tests dir in each charm)?
16:35:48 <m_3> or is that best left separate?
16:36:04 <smoser> i would leave that out of "Ubuntu server raring call for testing", m_3.
16:36:18 <smoser> i dont think begging for such things is bad, but just that it doesn't fit there.
16:36:23 <m_3> ack
16:36:39 <smoser> jamespage, so do you think we should move you to the name in '()' for qa section ?
16:37:02 <jamespage> smoser, no - I want direct engagement with the QA team in this meeting
16:37:10 <jamespage> its been lacking and I think we a suffering for it
16:37:33 <smoser> ok. so can you take an action there ? or do you want me to draft a mail requesting participation
16:37:37 <jamespage> smoser, but I'll take an action to go discuss with gemma
16:37:50 <smoser> #action jamespage discuss QA representation at Server TeamMeeting
16:37:50 * meetingology jamespage discuss QA representation at Server TeamMeeting
16:38:14 <smoser> i'm going to #endmeeting if noone has any objections?
16:38:19 <roaksoax> i do
16:38:23 <roaksoax> have something to bring up
16:38:27 <roaksoax> I've been considering dropping HA support for OCFS2 with pacemaker/corosync. The soon to be released pacemaker 1.1.9 has improved performance for large clusters (up to 16 node clusters). However, this requires corosync 2.X. Upgrading would mean dropping the support for OCFS2 in Pacemaker/Corosync because OCFS upstream has not updated its code to support the changes that have been made on the corosync side. From [1], we currently support Option
16:38:34 <roaksoax> [1]: http://theclusterguy.clusterlabs.org/post/34604901720/pacemaker-and-cluster-filesystems
16:40:23 <smoser> roaksoax, i suggest raising on ubuntu-server and ubuntu-cloud
16:40:39 <roaksoax> smoser: ack!
16:40:49 <smoser> #topic Announce next meeting date, time and chair
16:41:05 <smoser> next meeting is same time, same place, 7 days from now.
16:41:24 <smoser> Tuesday 2013-02-26 at 1600 UTC
16:41:33 <smoser> chair will be the honorable hallyn.
