Re: [oi-dev] [developer] First illumos-userland hackathon
I'm glad to see this, although a little disappointed that its strictly an illumos userland bit -- why not also include some opportunity for illumos-gate. - Garrett On Mar 23, 2012, at 8:58 AM, Bayard Bell wrote: Thanks to Linda Kateley, Nexenta's community manager, we are holding a hackathon for illumos-userland in Amsterdam on May 23, alongside the European Open Storage Summit: http://www.meetup.com/illumos-User-Group/events/56953802/ Closer to the date we will be putting up an ideas page. If you're interested in contributing to this porting and packaging project, join us on the userland list: https://www.listbox.com/subscribe/?listname=userl...@lists.illumos.org We're currently spinning up our first dev cycle with our revised development and contribution process: http://strictlygeeking.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-development-and-contribution-model.html If you haven't been previous involved in development, please have a look at our documentation, which will be improving in the next month as we pick up the pace: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+illumos-userland If there are things you'd like to see added or updated in userland, please see if it's already in our tracker and submit a new issue if it isn't already: https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-userland/issues/ Hope to see you there.

I've definitely been encouraging people with a primary interest in porting and packaging who are interested in distro development to get more involved with illumos-gate as our closest upstream. I've done a scan of issues in the OI tracker recently, and there's a decent amount of stuff that needs upstream resolution, so one of the things I might do is create upstream issues for that and walk people through fixing as many of those as possible. The distros are definitely one place where the rubber hits the road for illumos-gate, and I'd like to see more of that fed back into illumos-gate for resolution. If people in the community are willing to use our stuff in anger, we should oblige them with a measure of support. One of the things that's on my list to get going is a community backline, which would pull issues from all the distros (SmartOS, illumian, OI), get them proposed diagnosed, identify already existing fixes (Joyent's way ahead on this with SmartOS), and drive resolution in illumos-gate. If I were putting this in a larger context, I'd say we've addressed our first challenge as a community, which is showing that we can have a critical mass of developers successfully working under distributed ownership, moving our codebase forward. Our next challenge seems to me to be providing processes for maintaining production quality, including providing a degree of shared risk management for distro support, emphasizing the ever-moving target that is working code without getting caught up in the kings and presidents governance questions. If we mean to embrace the devops concept, this seems a strategic way to do it. Cheers, Bayard ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] [developer] First illumos-userland hackathon
I'm thinking I may be coming to the OSS in AMS. (I'm trying to get Nexenta to fund my airfare though - I can give one more or talks on illumos, etc.) I may come anyway. If I do, we should chat further about this. - Garrett On Mar 23, 2012, at 10:11 AM, Bayard Bell wrote: On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 4:41 PM, Garrett D'Amore garr...@damore.org wrote: I'm glad to see this, although a little disappointed that its strictly an illumos userland bit -- why not also include some opportunity for illumos-gate.
