ApacheCon: Getting the word out internally

[Melissa Warnkin]

Dear Apache Enthusiast,

As you are no doubt already aware, we will be holding ApacheCon in
Seville, Spain, the week of November 14th, 2016. The call for papers
(CFP) for this event is now open, and will remain open until
September 9th.

The event is divided into two parts, each with its own CFP. The first
part of the event, called Apache Big Data, focuses on Big Data
projects and related technologies.

Website: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-europe
CFP:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-europe/program/cfp

The second part, called ApacheCon Europe, focuses on the Apache
Software Foundation as a whole, covering all projects, community
issues, governance, and so on.

Website: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe
CFP: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/program/cfp

ApacheCon is the official conference of the Apache Software
Foundation, and is the best place to meet members of your project and
other ASF projects, and strengthen your project's community.

If your organization is interested in sponsoring ApacheCon, contact me
at e...@apache.org  ApacheCon is a great place to find the brightest
developers in the world, and experts on a huge range of technologies.

I hope to see you in Seville!

[PROPOSAL] Early LTS Initial Release

[John Burwell]

All,

Since LTS introduces a new release stream, I would like to propose that we cut 
the first LTS quickly to verify that various aspects of the release cycle and 
version number dependent components will work properly with the new release 
naming scheme.  It will also allow us to flesh out distribution issues such as 
download locations (e.g. for system VMs) and publishing LTS documentation 
alongside regular releases.  My thinking is that we would push an RC for this 
release within a week of the 4.9.0.0 release.  If this additional release is 
acceptable, I will update the release calendar to reflect the following changes:

* LTS 4.9.0.0_1.0
* Development/Testing: 1 week after 4.9.0.0 release
* RC Voting: 2 weeks after 4.9.0.0 release
* LTS 4.9.0.0_2.0 
* Development/Testing: From 3 to 9 weeks of the 4.9.0.0 release
* RC Voting: 10th week after the 4.9.0 release

I apologize for the relative dates — we are still waiting for 4.9.0.0 to 
complete voting.

Thanks,
-John

[GitHub] cloudstack issue #1600: Support Backup of Snapshots for Managed Storage

Github user syed commented on the issue:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1600
  
Thanks @karuturi for your comments, I will get to them as soon as I have 
some free cycles. Right now this is only supported for XenServer as this 
requires the backend to be able to do native snapshots. If there is need, we 
can add VMWare/KVM support as well.

Github user karuturi commented on the issue:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1600
  
`locationType` Standard and Archive refer to either secondary or primary 
based on the storage type and is confusing(atleast for me). Can we make this 
simple and use the locationType as primary or secondary?

Primarily we're awaiting thin provisioning of fiber channel SAN disks.

Hope to see it in the next release :-)

Re: XenServer 7

[Raja Pullela]

Hi Erik

BVT – build verification tests or smoke tests are the test automation scripts 
we have in cloudstack repo.
We will run these tests first and see if anything is broken.  For any failures, 
we will create bugs.
IMO, since 4.9 is out, the next version should have the support for XS 7.0.  
Are you look at anything specific feature/functionality in XS 7.0?  can you 
share what it is ? 

Best,

Does it mean that you have already done some fixing to get it to work and
will start testing it?
Or that you plan on testing it now, to figure out what needs fixing?
Or something else?

I'm trying to figure out when I can expect to use ACS (or a commercial
distribution) with XS7

Thank you, so this RC has officially failed.  Can you guys please review
those PRs and give me code review so I can be confident with those PRs.

I

Is there anything else that needs to be added to the next RC, please

Hi all,

One small comment since strongSwan didn't make it into 4.9.  There is

still a very simple bug in enabling PFS for site-to-site VPNs.  The

code

checks the Dead Peer Detection (DPD) variable instead of the PFS

variable

when determining whether or not to enable PFS for the site-to-site VPN.

Here is the 1-line of code that is broken.  You can see how it

refers to

dpd to set pfs.

file.addeq(" pfs=%s" % CsHelper.bool_to_yn(obj['dpd']))

This pull request fixes the issue, but was not merged since we were

going to strongSwan.  It would be nice if this bug fix was put into

4.9.0

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1480


Would it make you a -1 for you without this PR? If so, please vote -1

:)

Re: XenServer 7

[Erik Weber]

Would you mind elaborating a bit what that means?

Does it mean that you have already done some fixing to get it to work and
will start testing it?
Or that you plan on testing it now, to figure out what needs fixing?
Or something else?

I'm trying to figure out when I can expect to use ACS (or a commercial
distribution) with XS7
