RE: Future transfer of MesosCon 2015 videos

[Dave Lester]

I assume the clarification is about MesosCon 2014 videos. I believe Twitter 
owns the copyright to the videos which were recorded without cost to the event 
by a Twitter staff member and published to the company's "Twitter University" 
YouTube channel. I don't believe those videos were licensed so we'd need their 
sign-off before copying anything.

It doesn't sound like there's a concern or objection regarding the proposal to 
migrate MesosCon 2015 videos to LF YouTube channel, but I encourage folks to 
chime-in if they have additional questions and feedback.

Re: Future transfer of MesosCon 2015 videos

[Dave Lester]

Clarifying my earlier message: MesosCon 2015 videos will be migrated to the
LF YouTube channel unless a concern is raised within 72 hours.

I believe all MesosCon 2015 videos were released under a Creative Commons
Attribution license (this can be confirmed by viewing the notice beside
individual videos or in their descriptions).

Unfortunately, while video from the conference's first event MesosCon 2014
was recorded (
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDVc2EaAVPg9kp8cFzjR1Yxj96I4U5EGN) I
assume that Twitter owns the rights to the recordings. If someone still
working at Twitter can get the OK to migrate these as well I'm happy to
make the appropriate LF connections.

Best,
Dave

Re: Future transfer of MesosCon 2015 videos

[Dave Lester]

As an update: The Linux Foundation has offered to migrate these videos so
that MesosCon 2015 videos are moved to the same LF YouTube channel as 2016
and 2017.

I'll give this 72 hours for folks to chime-in with any additional feedback.
Assuming we have consensus we'll proceed with the migration.

Future transfer of MesosCon 2015 videos

[Dave Lester]

I’m looking into options for moving video of MesosCon 2015 presentations
(the project's community conference that took place in Seattle with 700+
attendees) from their current stand-alone YouTube channel (
https://www.youtube.com/@mesoscon881) to a larger channel that’s more
official.

Motivation
Apache Mesos became a top-level ASF project 10 years ago and I’d like these
presentation videos to be accessible for many more years. To ensure that
they aren’t lost or accidentally deleted I believe they should be saved to
an official channel. Migration becomes less likely and more difficult with
time so I’m prioritizing this now.

Anticipated Impact
Minimal. In the options I’m currently exploring the links will change but
videos will remain discoverable via YouTube search. Previous YouTube view
counts will likely be lost. Once the videos are uploaded to a new channel
the previous MesosCon channel will be deleted.

Paths Being Explored
We’ve been given the green light to use The Apache Software Foundation
YouTube channel and would likely post videos in a separate event playlist.
I also plan to contact The Linux Foundation who managed the event to see if
they’d prefer to host the videos themselves (the LF already hosts video
from MesosCon 2016 and 2017).

Your feedback is welcome! I’ll continue to work on this in the coming weeks
and will report back with an updated link once the transfer is complete.

Best,
Dave Lester

Re: Apache Mesos Logo for MesosCon Stickers

[Dave Lester]

Hi Sharan,

I don't have a PDF ready to go nor the software to make that change, but hope 
this additional info helps.

In most cases, the "Mesos Final White" version of the logo incl here: 
(https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7vmh5w3ukvwitb3/AACpGaEjRv1HXTKP9PAHALEfa?dl=0) 
should be used when printing the logo -- there are both illustrator and png 
copies of that version in Dropbox.

The typical treatment of the logo when printing stickers is a white hexagonal 
cropping around the logo, similar to this: 
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tkdfh1bqq9w8jns/AAA5Q3-4DIwmFCa8h_UjP70Za?dl=0 
(note: this is a thumbnail from a previous sticker printing and not high res 
enough to be used for actual printing -- please refer to the original). It'd 
also be simpler, and potentially cool to incl the Apache Mesos name in a 
rectangular printing -- and perhaps cheaper without the cropping.

Best,
Dave

Re: Update on MesosCon 2016 Planning

[Dave Lester]

Have no fear: the spirit of MesosCon has not changed, nor has the conference's 
organization become less open. A key difference is that the event chair is now 
a set of co-chairs (a system we successfully adopted for MesosCon Europe in 
October). By moving beyond the previous structure where I was the benevolent 
dictator, we're even more open than before.

Reading between the lines a bit, I assume the concern is with the larger 
program committee (PC) and ambiguity of its future given the formalization of 
co-chairs. The PC structure is not set in stone, nor should it ever be IMO. No 
event is the same, and as the community continues to grow and evolve, the 
structure and participation should reflect the needs of the community and of 
the conference. To advance future conference planning with the Linux Foundation 
(we’re already discussing events 12-months away), the conference co-chair 
structure gives the stability and decision-making ability to keep the 
conference moving forward.

In practice, what does this mean for the future of the PC? It will still be 
composed of the aforementioned co-chairs, along with a set of community 
volunteers who will help with the program and numerous other parts of the 
conference organization. For context, with MesosCon Seattle we had volunteers 
working on the program, and a series of subcommittees including event 
experience (which included the conference's diversity initiative), program and 
keynote speaker selection, and sponsorship -- none of those things have been 
nailed down yet. We haven't gotten to the stage of having a call for volunteers 
yet for any of the 2016 events, but stay tuned!

Among other open features of the conference that I’d like to see continue: our 
tradition of an open review process for speaking proposals. There are no plans 
to change that.

Another concern that was brought up was that the conference would less-reflect 
the geography of the community and different companies represented. That’s not 
the case, and we’ve actively taken steps to avoid that. All co-chairs work for 
different companies, and we're committed to the conference being a 
vendor-neutral event. In terms of geography, for MesosCon Europe we ensured we 
had folks from London and Amsterdam on the PC to help us make decisions -- and 
we did bias talk selection toward local speakers — our goal being to encourage 
growth of the European Mesos community.

Does that answer your questions and concerns?

Update on MesosCon 2016 Planning

[Dave Lester]

Hello Mesos Community!

About a week ago I had an email exchange with the Mesos PMC regarding the 
future of MesosCon, the community-driven conference for the Apache Mesos 
community. This is an abbreviated version of that email — I wanted to make sure 
we are transparent about where things stand, and give a peak at next year!

MesosCon in 2016
We’re looking at holding three MesosCon events in 2016: North America in 
(early) June, MesosCon Europe (date TBD), and to expand the conference 
internationally with MesosCon China (end of year, possibly December). The Linux 
Foundation will continue to handle logistics and sponsorship for these events, 
and we’re excited to continue our relationship with them as we grow the 
conference in scale and internationally. The only potential difference is that 
our 2016 events may be stand-alone instead of co-located with LinuxCon.

An announcement regarding the location and dates for MesosCon North American 
2016 should be made in early January. We’ll keep the mailing lists up-to-date 
on MesosCon Europe and MesosCon China as well, and the Linux Foundation has 
already begun exploring locations in Europe.

Structure of MesosCon Program Committee
Following the first two MesosCon events (Chicago 2014, Seattle 2015) where I 
was conference chair, we shook up our organizational structure for MesosCon 
Europe 2015 by adopting a conference chair trio, including myself 
(independent), David Greenberg (Two Sigma), and Kiersten Gaffney (Mesosphere).

Why the structure of three co-chairs? To ensure there aren’t bottle-necks in 
the planning process, to better divide up the conference work without having 
too many people involved, and to ensure balanced representation and neutral 
participation — no one company or group will dominate the direction or 
organization of the conference. Final decisions are being made by the three of 
us.

Coming out of MesosCon Europe, we’ve continued that structure and have also 
included Chris Schaefer and Chris Aniszczyk in the provisional planning of 2016 
conferences given their consistent participation in planning previous events. 
The idea is to add additional program committee members as needed and during 
the proposal review process, but finalize the basics before we grow our ranks — 
we’ll let the mailing lists know if/when we need your help!

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, let us know! We look forward 
to sharing future updates, and seeing you at a MesosCon in 2016!

Help us review #MesosCon Europe 2015 proposals

[Dave Lester]

A total of 65 proposals were submitted for #MesosCon Europe. Similar to
previous MesosCon events, the program committee is opening these
proposals up for community review/feedback to better-inform our
decisions about what should be included in the program.

In order to make it easier to review a subset of the proposals, we’ve
segmented them based upon three loose themes: Frameworks, Users / Ops,
and Mesos Internals and Extensions. We encourage you to review proposals
based upon one theme, or all three!

Frameworks (14 Proposals): bit.ly/MesosConEU2015Frameworks Talks on how
frameworks can be used, developed, and integrate with Mesos.

Users / Ops (29 Proposals): bit.ly/MesosConEU2015UsersOps A combination
of talks that are use cases (how company x uses Mesos), and operations-
focused (how we deploy x, use Docker, etc).

Mesos Internals and Extensions (22 Proposals):
bit.ly/MesosCon2015EUInternalsExt Features of the Mesos core, or
software integrations with the internals of Mesos. Some proposals have
overlap with frameworks and ops, but most are focused on the
foundational aspects of how Mesos works.

The forms above also include an opportunity to indicate which sessions
you didn't see proposed but would like to attend.

Thanks in advance for your participation! The forms will close on EOD
this upcoming Monday, September 7th.

MesosCon Seattle attendee introduction thread

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

I'd like to kick off a thread for folks to introduce themselves in
advance of #MesosCon
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon. Here goes:

My name is Dave Lester, and I'm an Open Source Advocate at Twitter. I am
a member of the MesosCon program committee, along with a stellar group
of other community members who have volunteered
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon/program/programcommittee.
Can't wait to meet as many of you as possible.

I'm eager to meet with folks interested in learning more about how we
deploy and manage services at Twitter using Mesos and Apache Aurora
http://aurora.apache.org. Twitter has a booth where I'll be hanging
out for a portion of the conference, feel free to stop by and say hi.
I'm also interested in connecting with companies that use Mesos; let's
make sure we add you to our #PoweredByMesos list
http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/powered-by-mesos/. 

I'm also on Twitter: @davelester

Next!

 will include workshops to get started with Mesos, keynote speakers
 from industry leaders, and sessions led by adopters and contributors.

Re: service discovery in Mesos on CoreOS

[Dave Lester]

It would be great to have a documentation page devoted to compiling
these different solutions to service discovery; if anyone wants create a
new markdown file in docs/ and submit a pull request or review on Review
Board, add me as a reviewer!

 Hi,


 __ __


 Is there a preferred way to do service discovery in Mesos via mesos-
 dns running on CoreOS? I’m trying to implement a simple app which
 consists of two docker containers and one of them (A) depends on the
 other (B). What I’d like to do is to tell container A to use a fix
 dns name (containerB.marathon.mesos in case of mesos-dns) to find
 the other service. There are at least 3 different ways I think it
 can be done, but the 3 I found all have some shortcomings.


 __ __


 __1.__Use SRV records to get the port along with the IP. Con: I’d
 prefer not to build the logic of handling SRV records into the app,
 it can be a legacy app that is difficult to modify


 __2.__Use haproxy on slaves and connect via a well-known port on
 localhost. Cons: the Marathon provided script does not run on
 CoreOS, also I don’t know how to run haproxy on CoreOS outside of a
 docker container. If it is running in a docker container, then how
 can it dynamically allocate ports on localhost if a new service is
 discovered in Marathon/Mesos?



 Do you know this repo? https://github.com/QubitProducts/bamboo . And
 here our corp one https://github.com/Dataman-Cloud/bamboo branched
 from the above.

 


 __3.__Use dedicated port to bind the containers to. Con: I can have
 only as many instances of a service as many slaves I have because
 they bind to the same port.


 __ __


 What other alternatives are there?

 Thanks,


  Andras

 Tommy , There are no correct and wrong name of User Group from
 Community perspective , Our major goal is to move Mesos forward in
 China . Having said that in my previous email , since we are doing
 contribution to Mesos and running project based on Mesos . That's why
 I created this User Group , and I figured it out there are no User
 Group in http://mesos.apache.org/community/user-groups/ for now
 before you guys jumping in. That's why we created it. if you think
 the one that you created is the right one . I am totally no issue
 with that . My point is we need to push Mesos to the upstairs and
 make noise in the same time in China . Mesos is still small baby in
 China ,let's work together and make it success .

 I am already member of your User Group , could you please convert me

Fwd: Aurora meetup in Bay Area, this Thursday

[Dave Lester]

This meetup will be of interest to a number of folks in the Mesos
community: TellApart has migrated to a microservices architecture using
Mesos + Aurora and will be presenting their current stack at an Apache
Aurora meetup this Thursday in Burlingame, CA.

http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Aurora-Users-Group/events/221219480/

Hope to see you there,

Dave

- Original message - From: Dave Lester d...@davelester.org To:
d...@aurora.apache.org Subject: Aurora meetup in Bay Area, this Thursday
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:45:57 -0700

This was announced last month; just wanted to give an email bump for
folks. In this inaugural Apache Aurora Users Group meetup, our
friends at TellApart have offered to host and present how they're
using Aurora in a series of talks entitled From Monolith to
Microservices with Aurora.

The meetup will take place 6:30-9pm at TellApart's office in Burlingame,
CA -- directly across the street form the Burlingame Caltrain Station.

Register here:
http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Aurora-Users-Group/events/221219480/

*Abstract:*** **TellApart has spent much of the past six months breaking
its monolithic application into smaller services. Our most critical and
high-volume services are managed by Apache Aurora, which provides
management and configuration layers that simplify application
development for developers and cluster management for operators.

We would like to share what we've learned about migrating to and running
a large scale Aurora+Mesos cluster on EC2.

*Subtopics:***

• Routing (Thanos Baskous) • RPCs (Dobromir Montauk) • Base Server (Tony
Dong) • Monitoring  Event Notification (George Sirois) • Cluster

Hi All,

On behalf of the MesosCon program committee, I'm pleased to announce the
program for this year's community conference. MesosCon will include two
full days of sessions on August 20th and 21st, 2015 taking place in
Seattle, WA.

The schedule is now available online: https://mesoscon2015.sched.org

Interest in this year's conference has been growing significantly, and
we've expanded our format from a single track to now include four
simultaneous tracks to offer sessions at a variety of skill levels and
topics ranging from Mesos internals, to use cases, and the ecosystem of
Mesos frameworks.

Two additional things to note:

1) The program committee is working to finalize details of a hackathon
   that will take place the day before the full conference; we'll share
   details as soon as they're be confirmed.

2) We plan to open up a CFP for lightning talks, which are an additional
   opportunity to present to the larger Mesos community. Stay tuned!

You can expect future updates like this to be shared on the user@ and
dev@ mailing lists, as well as our official Twitter handle:
@MesosCon[1].

We hope you can join us in Seattle! Registration is now open:

Re: Help us review #MesosCon 2015 proposals

[Dave Lester]

Hi Tim,

There's no magic number, but that's being discussed by the speaker
subcommittee now and it's something the larger MesosCon program
committee will need to decide in the coming weeks. The # of accepted
talks will largely depend on the number of tracks we break into, and
number of / length of keynotes. Stay tuned!

 Thanks Steve and Pablo for the feedback.

 Program committee members will be completing the same review process

 So far we have over 40 reviews for each of the themes we've shared,

 having these discussions in the open is helpful, and also keeps us

Apache Aurora meet up in San Francisco, Feb 19th

[Dave Lester]

The Bay Area Mesos User Group just announced a meet up in San Francisco
that will feature a night of talks about Apache Aurora[1], a Mesos
framework for long-running services and cron jobs. Book your calendars
for Thursday, February 19th starting at 6pm!

You can RSVP here:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/apache-aurora-meet-up-tickets-15618171371

At this meet up, we'll kick off the talks with Steve Niemitz who is in
town from NYC and will tell us about how TellApart is using Aurora and
Docker to migrate to a microservice architecture. Steve contributed the
patch to add Docker support to the Aurora 0.7.0 release. Afterwards,
Aurora and Mesos SRE Joe Smith will describe the setup and operation of
Twitter's clusters, and reveal best practices for keeping your cluster
running smoothly. We'll wrap up with a panel discussion of several
Aurora adopters, covering how they're using Aurora and got up and
running, and they'll also take audience questions.

Also, a quick reminder about Mesos User Groups in general: these are
open to enthusiasts who'd like to host or speak about Mesos and its
ecosystem. If that's you, please speak up! There's a list of organizers
listed for each group (for example: listed on
http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Mesos-User-Group/); you can contact us
via meetup.com and we'll do our best to schedule something! Meetups are
a great opportunity to share with the community what you're doing as
well as get feedback from your peers. I hope to see more events in the
Bay Area and beyond, including thematically organized events like the
one above. Pitch us your ideas and let's make them a reality.

Hope you can make it to our meet up on the 19th!

Cheers, Dave

Thanks Niklas for kicking off this thread. +1 to you as release manager,
could you please create a JIRA ticket to track the progress so we could
subscribe?

A minor correction to your email, Mesos 0.21.1 was voted on in late
December (see http://markmail.org/message/e2iam7guxukl3r6c), however the
website wasn't updated nor was blogged about like we normally do. Tim
(cc'd), do you still plan to make this update? Any way others can help?
I'd like to see this updated before we cut another release.

would bring some longer-term clarity to who is driving feature releases
and what they include.

MesosCon Early-Bird Registration Now Open

[Dave Lester]

A limited number of early-bird tickets are now available for #MesosCon 2015
http://mesoscon.org, an annual conference organized by the Apache Mesos
community. MesosCon brings together users and developers to share and learn
about the project and its growing ecosystem, and will take place in
Seattle, WA.

Early-bird registration is open today
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon/attend/register to the
first 140 attendees / through February 14th, 2015.

MesosCon will take place August 20 - 21, 2015 at Sheraton Seattle in
Seattle, WA. The cost of early-bird registration is US$299. The standard
attendee registration fee will be US$399 (Through July 31, 2015), and late
registration US$499 beginning August 1, 2015. Students are eligible for a
special registration fee of US$99 (Note that a valid student id will be
required at onsite check-in).

As part of the registration process, you’ll have an opportunity to donate
to a Diversity Scholarship
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon/attend/scholarship
which has been established for the conference. MesosCon’s scholarship
program provides support to women, people of color, and people with
disabilities who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend MesosCon
for financial reasons. Equal access and diversity are important to
MesosCon, and we aim to remove this obstacle for underrepresented attendee
groups. We encourage you to donate what you can! If you have any questions
regarding the diversity scholarship, please contact
mesoscon-divers...@googlegroups.com.

On behalf of the #MesosCon Program Committee, we couldn’t be more excited
about this year’s conference and what this means for the open source
project’s community. We hope that you’ll join us!

To follow-up to this thread since a few folks have reached out to me,

 I've copy/pasted further details about the CFP below for your

 Stands
 FOSDEM offers open source projects the opportunity to display their
 work during the event. At their stand, a project can share information,
 demo software, sell merchandise, give away goodies, and so on, and
 personally interact with the visitors.

 What we offer
 * one 180x80cm table, positioned in one of the buildings with developer
 rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. In some cases, a second
 table may be possible, if you have a good reason to need two.
 * two chairs per table
 * one power socket type C/E (if you require adapters or additional
 sockets, please bring them yourself)
 * fast uplink shared wireless Internet access

 Submission details
 Send your request via email to sta...@fosdem.org. Please include at
 least the following information:

 * Project name
 * Stand description
 * Project URLs
 * Your name and relation to the project
 * Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal?
 * Optionally, if requesting two tables, motivation for the second table

Re: Following Mesos

Hi James,

Thanks for asking about this! I think there's a lot of room for improvement
here. Have you seen the Mesos markmail archive [user@
http://markmail.org/search/?q=mesos#query:mesos%20list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.mesos-user+page:1+state:facets
, dev@

or Planet Mesos http://planet.apache.org/mesos/? The former consolidates
emails from the user and developer email lists, the latter syndicates blogs
from community members. In my experience, markmail has refreshed within a
few seconds of publishing so I think it's safe to trust.

 timely as in an archive for others not subscribed to this group to follow
 this group, real-time. Most archives have a significant lag on the

 I see you've already commented on the rocket repo about this, and from

 of the open container spec.

 I'm all over this like white on rice.


 I think the best way is just to be involved in the spec early on and
 continue to do so while we move forward, and we have relationships with the
 rocket people which should help also being in the loop as well.

 Relationships alone won't cut it.
 Friends one day, enemies the next, isn't that the way it worked with
 Docker...?

 Governance, such as Apaches model, is of critical importance.

Re: Proposal: shared Mesos framework hosting and registry

[Dave Lester]

), this
   repository is kinda special as it is hosted and created by the cluster
   operators and could be a mixed content of locally maintained repository
   (GIT repos on a HDFS or TAR on HDFS) and public content repository 
 cloned
   from the public content URL/Metadata.

 I don't know if I'm really clear, so if I'm not, let me know it, I'll do
 some sketches :D


 2014-12-02 1:53 GMT+01:00 Connor Doyle con...@mesosphere.io:

 Hi Dave,

 This is a timely topic, since we have been prototyping and mocking up
 something similar at Mesosphere.  We created a new public GitHub repository
 for it about three weeks ago called universe (
 http://github.com/mesosphere/universe).

 Although we have added some informal specs, it's very malleable at this
 point.  We're very much interested in making our universe compatible
 with, or the same as, the registry you're proposing.  Without delving into
 implementation details, some of the goals we have in mind are outlined
 below.

 Data Source:

 The package repository should be easily consumable by third-party
 command-line and other programs.  There should be a condensed “index”
 representation of the package repository available.

 Packages within the repository should be versioned.

 The package repository format itself should be versioned.

 Decentralization and Composability:

 The package metadata should be hosted in a public place (we like GitHub)
 so that additional packages can be added by the community by simply
 submitting pull requests.  We have added some rudimentary commit hooks and
 automated validation to protect the repo against breaking changes.

 It’s important that no single entity “owns the keys” to the universe, and
 that the spec and implementation remain public.  It should be easy and free
 for organizations to maintain a private package repository.

 A corollary is that it should be easy for consumers to pull from a
 hierarchy of upstream repositories.  One setup we have in mind is that an
 organization might have staging and production repositories running
 internally.  Packages are pushed to staging where integration testing can
 run before “deployment” to production.  If a package isn’t in the local
 repository it might be looked up and installed from upstream.

 hierarchy.png


 Repositories should be able to be proxied and cached in this way.
 Organizations should be able to isolate their datacenter but also
 selectively add external packages for experimentation. The system should be
 sufficiently portable and extensible to accomodate these and similar use
 cases.

 Meta-Framework Descriptors:

 Our conception of the package repository is a bit more expansive than
 just Mesos frameworks; it includes descriptions of how to install any piece
 of server software on a Mesos cluster.  Frameworks and non-frameworks alike
 may be installed using some other meta-framework that’s responsible for
 starting all other cluster services.  Likely candidates for this role are
 the long-lived frameworks: Aurora, Marathon, Singularity, and eventually
 Kubernetes.  In any case, the repository spec should not be prescriptive
 with respect to this choice.

 The package repository metadata should make it easy for Mesos framework
 authors (and authors of non-Mesos-aware programs) to describe how to
 install their software on a Mesos cluster.  To this end, our prototype
 package spec allows for Meta-framework descriptor files for each package in
 the repository.  For example for a given package we might see a
 `marathon.json` file as well as a `my-app.aurora` file.

 An obvious concern is how to specify site-specific arguments upon
 installation.  Here packages should describe data that must be marshalled
 from the environment (e.g. by prompting a user) and combined with the raw
 meta-framework descriptor to launch the app.  These configuration
 parameters should be agnostic of the supported meta-frameworks.  More
 concretely, in our prototype we describe configuration data in terms of a
 JSON-Schema.

 CLI Integration:

 Part of our proposed package format is an optional descriptor for how to
 fetch and install the command-line tools for interacting with the
 application.  For now, we only have one implementation of this, which is to
 fetch a python egg from PyPI.

 Governance:

 All in all, we think that making this effort more community driven is a
 healthy way to proceed.  Any input is very welcome.  For example, if others
 think that what we have is a good starting point we could transfer
 ownership of the repository to the mesos organization on GitHub.

 Cheers,

Proposal: shared Mesos framework hosting and registry

[Dave Lester]

As the number of Mesos frameworks grows (and now, a module system), I think
it's time to create a community-maintained registry with the goal of making
frameworks and modules easier to discover, contribute to, and install.

There's already a JIRA ticket tracking this (MESOS-1759) and I've chatted
with several folks (thanks in particular Victor Vieux, Tom Arnfeld, Vinod
Kone, Timothy St Clair, and Joe Stein). I'd like to advance the
conversation by offering a proposal on the public mailing list.

I imagine two initiatives to achieve this:

1) Shared hosting via a GitHub org. I'm not sure if you're familiar with
how Jenkins maintains their plugins on GitHub [1], but they allow
individual plugins to have their own repo within their GH org. Plugins are
repos with a specific naming convention (in their case, they've appended
-plugin to the repo name but this isn't the same approach we'd need to
take). Having a shared GH org creates greater visibility to what people are
doing, and encourages community participation and ownership.

In the case of Mesos, not all frameworks will jump at the chance to have
community hosting which is fine. But particularly for smaller frameworks, I
think this is a good option given the success Jenkins has had. We could
potentially use the existing /mesos github org, or create a new org
/mesos-extensions or something of the like. It seems like the only
potential snag here is that we'll want to be explicit that these aren't
Apache-blessed plugins and instead maintained by the larger ecosystem, but
I believe we can achieve that by offering a notice in the GH org
description.

2) A registry that allows framework writers to publish new versions of
their frameworks to a central repository that could be programmatically
accessed and rendered online. The v1 could be incredibly simple, but I
think this is a foundational piece that can grow with the project in the
future. Since this is a little bit more-involved, I've created a separate
Google Doc [2] to begin drafting the scope for this:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sOoPtEyLlST5GTU5iSccqWUsAOlJhf4N9cHoylylYgY/edit?usp=sharing,
and have intentionally punted on some of the implementation details until
the scope is finalized and I gauge interest from users and potential
collaborators.

What do you think? If folks are on board I will assign the JIRA issue to
myself and get to work; I'd also welcome collaborators to help get this off
the ground since I think it will be a boost for the community. Feedback is
welcome!

Thanks,
Dave

rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. In some cases, a second
table may be possible, if you have a good reason to need two.
* two chairs per table

Re: Orphan links in Docs

[Dave Lester]

Contributions are welcome! The website is available on subversion
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mesos/site/, which ingests docs from the
/docs/ folder of the main code repo, and will render the markdown files on
the site. There's a README in that directory with some instructions for
building the site.

On #1 and #2, I believe this is an issue with the regex that generates docs
when renders on the website. Check out the website's Rakefile which
includes some ruby code to parse links and remove the .md extensions from
them. I believe there are already JIRA issues tracking these issues.

On #3, the files were not previously uploaded however I fixed that the
other day.

  Also, there is no link from documentation home to reach to the

  Also, Mesos-submit is no longer part of the Mesos. Should we remove the
  mesos-submit from the docs? I see a few pending PR for docs that just
  require rebasing. I can take a shot at that too, if thats fine with
  everyone.
 
  Lets make docs as good as Mesos :)

[MesosCon Program Committee Notes] 11/05/14 meeting

[Dave Lester]

Below are notes from the first MesosCon 2015 program committee meeting.
Notes are publicly shared following each meeting on the Mesos user@ and dev@
mailing lists; we encourage community feedback.

Dave

11/05/2014

Attendees

Chris Aniszczyk, Steven Borrelli, Timothy Chen, Arunabha Ghosh, Benjamin
Hindman, Vinod Kone, Dave Lester, John Pampuch, Abhishek Parolkar, Chris
Schaefer, Ken Sipe, Timothy St. Clair

Background on MesosCon Program Committee

* This past August, the community held the first-ever Apache Mesos
conference: MesosCon in Chicago IL. This program committee was established
to plan next year’s MesosCon, and is made up of volunteers who reached out
following a call on the Mesos user@ mailing list.

* The program committee (PC) is responsible for the conference program, and
engaging with the community to help drive participation from attendees and
potential conference sponsors. The PC was “blessed” by the Apache Mesos PMC
(several members are on the MesosCon PC), and the PC chair coordinates with
conference organizers handling on-site logistics.

* Prior to this meeting, the Apache Mesos PMC voted to make Dave Lester the
MesosCon 2015 PC Chair

Confirmed MesosCon 2015 Information


* The Mesos PMC has also voted to work with the Linux Foundation once again
to organize the event logistics and registration.

* MesosCon 2015 will be a two-day event, held the week of August 17th
colocated with LinuxCon North America; the PC discussed the need to
coordinate the program’s schedule with other LinuxCon-related events
happening that week.

* We have the capacity for multiple tracks at the conference, and more than
double the size of last year’s conference to 500+ attendees. Specific
attendance cap is TBD.

* The Linux Foundation will additionally help us raise sponsorship, and
include MesosCon in their LinuxCon sponsorship prospectus.

MesosCon 2015 Program Committee

* The Program committee will meet bi-weekly and will be responsible for:

* Participating in meetings. (PC members are allowed no more than two
absences following this initial meeting in order to have a vote.)

* Establishing the event program

* Assisting in sponsorship

* Dave Lester proposed several principles (inspired by The Apache Way) to
guide the PC and the organization of MesosCon 2015, which the group agreed
to:

* Vendor Neutrality

* Community Driven

* Transparency

* Lazy Consensus

* There may be times that the PC needs to vote, including on the program. A
private mailing list is being established to record these votes.

* Beyond coordinating meetings, votes, and confidential conversations, the
PC is strongly encouraged to use the public project mailing lists to
increase transparency.

* Given the size of the MesosCon 2015 PC and the scope of work involved,
future work related to the call for proposals, driving attendance,
sponsorship, and other event details may be delegated to a subset of the
group which will report back in PC meetings.

* The focus of the PC will be the U.S. August 2015 event.

PC Introductions

* Dave Lester - MesosCon 2015 and 2014 Chair, Open Source Advocate at
Twitter

* Ben Hindman - VP of Apache Mesos, project co-founder, engineer at
Mesosphere

* Vinod Kone - Mesos tech lead at Twitter, PMC member, previously on
MesosCon 2014 PC

* Steven Borrelli, Founder, Asteris LLC. Biggest interest is helping grow
community and grow the ecosystem. Wants to encourage diversity and
inclusion of the conference.

* Arunabha Ghosh, Director of Engineering at Moz

* Chris Schaefer, Principal Software Engineer @ Pivotal Software

* Tim St Clair, Principal Engineer @ Red Hat (ET) and PMC member

* Timothy Chen, engineer working at Mesosphere and PMC member

Dave meets with the Linux

Seattle Mesos User Group, first meetup next week

[Dave Lester]

Seattle Mesos friends,

The recently-created Seattle Mesos User Group (MUG)
http://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Mesos-Meetup/ will be hosting their first
meetup this upcoming Thursday, October 23rd at Twitter's Seattle Office.
Please help get the word out locally!

At Thursday's meetup I'll be giving a kitchen sink presentation that will
hopefully set up some topics that will be covered in greater depth by
future meetup presentations, while also acting as an introduction to folks
that may be new to the project. Expect a report back from August's MesosCon
and some of the topics that were presented.

Hope to see many of you there! And drop me a line if you want to chat while
I'm in town.

Special thanks to a great group of local volunteers that are taking the
lead to run this MUG, incl Denny Lee, Ankur Chauhan, Ryan Harris, and Suman
Karumuri. You rock!

Dave

Call for MesosCon 2015 Sponsors and Program Committee Members

[Dave Lester]

We held the first-ever #MesosCon
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon in Chicago this past
August, attracting a crowd of 262 attendees from over 100 companies. Thanks
again to all who attended, watched session videos
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDVc2EaAVPg9kp8cFzjR1Yxj96I4U5EGN
online, and the great team of volunteers that helped to make the event
happen.

Given where the Apache project stands today and its huge growth trajectory
in the coming year, it's time to begin planning our next conference! I
think it's safe to say that the next MesosCon will be even larger, learn
from the last conference, and require even more effort to pull off. We need
your help.

I'm happy to help kickoff and lead this effort, and looking to recruit
potential sponsors and program committee members:

 * *Sponsors:* we had generous sponsors this first MesosCon, and we'd like
to grow the number of sponsors and sponsorship levels for the next
MesosCon. Is your company a possible sponsor? Reach out to us early to give
feedback as we consider what these levels may be.
 * *Program committee members:* we had volunteers on the PC from various
companies and backgrounds who attended regular phone meetings and assisted
both with the program and recruiting sponsors.

If you're interested in either opportunity, please reach out to me
personally (dles...@twitter.com).

Other details including a conference date and location have yet to be
decided, but should be decided shortly.

Thanks,
Dave

Potential Seattle Mesos User Group

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

I've chatted with a few different people (including some folks in the
Twitter Seattle office) about potentially starting a Seattle Mesos User
Group. Does anyone else want to help take the lead or assist in other ways?
(such as offering space, covering the cost of refreshments, etc)

MesosCon keynote State of Mesos 2014 video now online

[Dave Lester]

At #MesosCon, Twitter recorded sessions and will post them online as they
are edited. This morning the first video went online: Ben Hindman's
keynote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7qN8QwGv2w

Check out Ben's talk; it gives a great overview of the state of the
community an upcoming features that are being developed.

To share links to other sessions as they go online (including John Wilkes'
keynote), we'll tweet links via @ApacheMesos

7/31 MesosCon program committee meeting notes

[Dave Lester]

Below are notes from last Thursday's MesosCon program committee meeting.


With less than 3 weeks away from MesosCon, I strongly encourage you to register
for the event http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon and meet
us in Chicago, August 21-22nd. We have contributors and adopters flying in
from around the country and world, and it promises to be a huge milestone
for the community.


As I note below, we're encouraging community members to blog about the
event and Mesos in the coming weeks; drop me a line if you're interested or
have a blog post we can help promote.

Attendee/Registration Update

As of July 25, there were 187 total MesosCon registrants: 96 MesosCon, 91
registered for LinuxCon with the MesosCon add-on. Outreach continues (see
notes below).

The program committee is having registration promo codes created to offer
discounted tickets to some late registrants.

PR / Media / Outreach

We discussed the opportunity to blog more in the coming weeks: another
overview blog post, and community posts featuring interviews and
commentary. Dave will follow-up with all event speakers; MesosCon attendees
are also encouraged to blog and share their posts in the weeks leading up
to MesosCon.

There is a possibility that the Linux Foundation can cross-post a MesosCon
announcement that we publish to the Mesos website. Dave and Chris will
follow-up.

Dave did an interview with The Cloudcast
http://www.thecloudcast.net/2014/07/the-cloudcast-155-large-scale.html
podcast this week and mentioned MesosCon.

A JIRA ticket for the release of Mesos 0.20.0
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1645 has been created; if the
release is made ahead of MesosCon it may be an opportunity to get more
press for the event.

Sponsor Update

Google has agreed to give Google Cloud Platform credit to hackathon
attendees.

Speaker Gifts / Swag

Discussed gifts and acknowledging speakers as a way of saying “thank you”
for their participation in MesosCon. Some ideas were hatched. redacted

Also revisited topic of swag for attendees beyond stickers which are
ordered; depends largely on cost and turnaround time. We will discuss again
at Monday’s meeting.

Schedule Update

Minor revisions will be made to program schedule and be reflected online
early next week. In particular, we’ll begin the program with a keynote from
Ben Hindman to kickoff the event. Morning workshops will follow.

Connor Doyle and Adam Bordelon from Mesosphere have agreed to do an
advanced Mesos workshop that will run in parallel to that “Mesos 101”
beginner workshop.

7/24 #MesosCon program committee notes

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

Below are notes from yesterday's #MesosCon program committee meeting.

Dave

07/24/2014

*Attendees*
Dave Lester, Isabel Jimenez, Matt Trifiro

*Attendee/Registration Update*
Revised from what was discussed during the 7/24 meeting: as of today (July
25), there are 187 total MesosCon registrants: 96 MesosCon, 91 registered
for LinuxCon with the MesosCon add-on. There was previously an error in the
attendee reporting which inflated the number of LinuxCon attendees also
attending MesosCon; it was discovered this morning.

Many speakers and sponsors have yet to register for the event but intend
to, so we expect registration numbers to increase in the coming week.

*Sponsor Update*
No sponsorship updates this week; there are still opportunities including
the possibility of sponsoring a potential #MesosCon reception after day
one. [note: this reception will depend on support we receive] Interested
parties may contact Dave Lester (dles...@twitter.com) for more info.

*Schedule Update*
We discussed the session-to-session flow of the conference, and how we will
ensure that the program is balanced and approachable to both new and power
users. The program committee will continue to discuss over email,

Dave is reaching out to speakers on the program to do a quick sync; will
report back to the group in coming weeks.

*PR / Media*
Hackathon details/announcement have been announced:

and will be cross-posted to the Atlassian blog next week.

#MesosCon Hackathon Details Announced

After a full day of workshops and talks http://mesoscon14.sched.org/ at
MesosCon http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon, we’re
challenging participants to hack on Mesos http://mesos.apache.org/ during
an Atlassian http://www.atlassian.com/-sponsored hackathon taking place
Friday, August 22nd. This event is an opportunity to contribute to the
project, collaborate with other members of the community, and learn in the
process.

We’ve identified two categories of hacks that we hope participants will
focus on:

   - *Community Need*: These are issues logged in the Mesos issue tracker
   
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel
that
   have received a large amount of activity (comments, votes, etc), and
   address some of the larger problems or pain points for the community.
   Suggested projects include new features, bugs, or documentation.
   - *People’s Choice*: These contributions will be voted on by your peers,
   and our guidance is intentionally open-ended so teams will run wild with
   their ideas. We’re excited to see what you come up with.

Forming Groups

We strongly encourage hackathon participants to use the public JIRA issue
tracker https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS/ to log and discuss
their ideas prior to the hackathon, using the MesosConHack label
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MESOS%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20%22MesosConHack%22.
The project mailing lists and IRC http://mesos.apache.org/community/ are
good places to discover and share project ideas in advance.

Thursday evening of MesosCon, teams will form and ideas may be pitched.
Additionally, project committers will be on-site to act as mentors and
shepherds throughout the hackathon.
Hackathon Rules

   - Actual development on submissions should begin the evening of August
   21st and must not begin earlier. However, teams are encouraged to have
   community discussions prior to the event.
   - In order for an entry to be valid, a pull request or review board
   patch must be submitted.
   - Submitted applications must run.
   - Teams may have a maximum of four contributors.
   - A team may only win one category.
   - Submissions must be related to Mesos in some way.

ScheduleThursday Evening

Following sessions on day one of MesosCon, we will hold a hackathon kickoff
that includes an explanation of the rules, and a chance for ideas to be
pitched and teams formed. Hacking may begin at this time, although evening
hacking is optional.
Friday

9:00 - Hacking begins at conference center

13:00 - Lunch arrives

17:00 - Coding stops, refreshments are served

17:15 - Re-explain the voting rules

17:20 - Presentations start - Each team gets 5 minutes to pitch what they
built and show it off

18:00 - Voting occurs

18:15 - Winners announced
Registration

Interested in participating in the hackathon? Participants must register
for MesosCon
https://www.regonline.com/register/login.aspx?eventID=150MethodId=0EventsessionId=
.

For new MesosCon registrants, you will see a checkbox at the time of
registration. If you’ve already registered for MesosCon, you will be
contacted to confirm whether you plan to participate in the hackathon.

Atlassian has been confirmed as a Platinum sponsor, and will be sponsoring
a MesosCon hackathon on August 22nd. More details to be announced, shortly.

Attendee Outreach Discussion

The program committee brainstormed attendee outreach, and has created a
google spreadsheet to coordinate contact with adopters and potential
MesosCon attendees.

Among the possible individuals/companies/groups to reach out to, we
discussed: related project mailing lists (spark, docker, storm), existing
Mesos meetup groups, and individuals (local to Chicago, adopters, and other
connections). Community involvement in getting the word out about MesosCon
is encouraged!

Schedule Update

John Wilkes from Google has been confirmed as a second #MesosCon keynote.
The schedule has been adjusted to accommodate his talk on the 21st.


Accepted MesosCon proposers have been notified, and waitlisted or rejected
proposers will be contacted shortly.

Upcoming Program Announcement

The Apache Mesos website will be updated to link to the MesosCon site,
possibly in a visual banner of some kind.


Target date for a program announcement is 6/11. The MesosCon program will
be posted online, along with a blog post published on the Apache Mesos
website. Twitter plans to blog about the program as well.

Help us review #MesosCon proposals

[Dave Lester]

A total of 24 proposals were submitted for
#MesosConhttp://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon,
and as I previously indicated the program committee is opening them up for
community review/feedback to better-inform our decisions about what should
be included in the program.

We've created the following form where community members can evaluate
abstracts/titles:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1hMgMNm-d5bJpFsOT_A_SJlsOG5Lk0HUzH54Ec3PzGSA/viewform.
The form also includes an opportunity to indicate which sessions you didn't
see proposed but would like to attend.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

We have a tight deadline for finalizing the program, so the initial
evaluative results will be discussed during the program committee's meeting
this Thursday. The form will close on 5/26, one week from today.

Re: Assigning issues in JIRA

Currently, JIRA users need to be manually given permission in order to

assign a ticket to themselves.

Mesos community survey now online

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

Please take a few minutes to complete this Mesos community survey:
http://bit.ly/MesosCommunitySurvey

I strongly encourage participation from EVERYONE: whether you are running
in production, yet-to-run Mesos but curious about the project, or actively
kicking the tires in your test cluster, etc. This is a first attempt to
take the pulse of the community, understand some basic patterns of usage,
and identify room for improvement.

As an added-in bonus, I'll randomly choose a handful of folks who complete
the survey by this Friday (5/16) and mail you some Mesos  Twitter swag.

Thanks in advance for your feedback -- looking forward to sharing the
results with the community.

Hi Chengwei,

I've just updated the website to reflect the 0.17.0 release, thanks for

In the past we've updated the site at the same time a blog post

Seeking venues for 2014 Mesos hackathons

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

Does your organization have space to host a half-day or all-day Mesos
hackathon? Read on!

There were several Mesos hackathons in 2013, each increasing the number of
new contributors to the project and leading to some great enhancements
including the Mesos CLI. In 2014, I'd love to see two improvements to Mesos
hackathons:

1) Greater regularity, holding them monthly or every two months.
2) Increased coordination with folks who are remote.

I believe the latter is always a challenge, but we'll have a better shot at
doing so if hackathons are announced well-in-advance so there's time for
coordination.

As a first step to organizing hackathons with greater regularity, I'm
hoping to compile a list of potential hackathon venues that we could begin
to plug into a 2014 calendar. If your organization has available space,
please respond to this list to voice your interest.

Previous hackathons have been located in the Bay Area since that is where
most committers are located geographically, but it would be great to change
that in 2014. Also, if you can only offer space and don't have a budget,
that's fine -- I'm sure there are folks on this list who don't have space
but would be willing to pitch in funds for food and beverages.

Lastly, I'm happy to help with future hackathons but would love for a team
of folks to help with coordination so this is a community effort. If you're
interested, please speak up.

11/19 #MesosTownHall Briefing

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

I’ve drafted a summary of the Mesos townhall that took place at TwitterHQ
on 11/19. Approximately 70 people attended the event, and earlier that same
day OpenTable hosted a Mesos hackathon with 20 attendees.

The event format featured lightning talks (4-minute presentations), and
unconference sessions that were proposed by attendees and ran concurrently.
Lightning talks included presentations about the new Slave Recovery
feature, Elastic Mesos, the Mesos CLI, launching frameworks on Mesos, and
Apache Aurora. Video of the lighting talks will be posted online at a later
date (I’ll be sure to share links on the user list).

Session Summaries

At the conclusion of the townhall, the group reconvened to brief us on
their discussions and any next steps. Below I’ve shared the notes I was
able to write down; others in attendance should feel free to chime-in and
help fill in the gaps.

Resource Isolation and Containers

The group discussed Docker specifically, including its packaging
capabilities and how Mesos could leverage that and running it in Mesos. The
group also discussed using a pluggable isolator, possibly KVM or Docker?
How could you make it easier?

Next steps were a combination of online conversations on the mailing list (
d...@mesos.apache.org) and possibly setting up an in-person hackathon to
collaborate moving forward.

Apache Aurora

The Apache Aurora http://aurora.incubator.apache.org team released their
codebase earlier in the day, and gave a lightning talk that demonstrated
the scheduler. Much of the unconference discussion was centered around the
capabilities of the project, and questions related to how Twitter uses it
in production. There was interest in using it for long-running services as
well as cron.

Next steps include making progress on the open source project (now part of
the Apache Incubator) and improving the project documentation.

Future of the Mesos API

This session was proposed to discuss the scheduler and executer apis, but
the conversation quickly moved to discuss capabilities and feature
requests. For example, there was interest in changing the Mesos UI to be
centered around tasks instead of frameworks (which is something already
being worked on). There was also discussion from the operator side of
Mesos, such as host drain, interacting with the cluster when doing kernel
upgrades, etc.

Requested features included making making service discovery be more of a
generic thing so frameworks could leverage it, even if it’s slightly
different between them. Also, there was interest in exposing more
information from slaves back to masters.

As next steps, community members were encouraged to submit new JIRA issues
to track these feature requests and future work.

Mesos on Amazon Web Services and Autoscaling Capabilities

Discussion centered around the production needs of running Mesos on AWS,
particularly as it relates to autoscaling. The goal of this potential
feature would be to grow and shrink the size of a cluster on AWS. There
were questions about the best way to implement this, and whether feature
could that become integrated into the Mesos core.

Next steps: Netflix has a lot of experience in auto scaling AWS, and plans
to work on this feature for Mesos in the next few quarters. Community
members were encouraged to talk to them as they begin.

Packaging

Discussion was about packaging and distributing Mesos, and how to push this
forward in the future. There was a shared interest in seeing official Mesos
packages distributed in the future. Unfortunately, some key members of the
community who have worked on packaging were unable attend to attend the
townhall.

Next steps may include regrouping on the mailing list, or possibly setting
up regular meetings to push this forward.

Re: Looking for volunteers to help improve Mesos documentation

[Dave Lester]

Shingo and Ryosuke: Awesome RE: translation.

Anyone interested in translating in languages other than Japanese?

Paco, interesting question as it relates to republishing via O'Reilly EPUB.

may know.

 collateral in Atlas and publish as a free O'Reilly EPUB.

 I'd love to recruit new volunteers to help with Mesos documentation. I
 recently took a pass through the docs, but there's a lot of room for
 improvement. A few things that stand out to me include improving the
 getting started guide, reviewing docs before releases are cut, and perhaps
 language translation.

 Who is interested in helping, and what would you like to contribute?
 Please respond on the thread so folks can follow along.

Recent blog post about Slave Recovery

[Dave Lester]

I recently pushed changes to the Mesos website that added a blog. The
initial post by Vinod Kone goes in depth about the Slave Recovery feature
in Mesos 0.14.1. Give it a read!

  Hi all,
 
  Please vote on releasing the following candidate as Apache Mesos version
  0.14.1.
 
 
 
 
 
  0.14.1 is a bug fix release that includes fixes for a small number of
 bugs
  found while running 0.14.0 in production at Twitter.
 
  The most important of these bugs are:
  MESOS-662: When running Mesos with cgroups memory enforcement enabled, it
  is possible for an OOM event to cause a deadlock situation in the Linux
  kernel.
 
  MESOS-420: This has crashed the master process on rare occasions only in
  our large production clusters and as such it was missed during our
 testing
  in a staging cluster.
 
  MESOS-711: It's possible for the master to over-subscribe slaves (offer
  more resources than the slave contains). This manifests primarily when
  upgrading from 0.13.x to 0.14.0 on a running cluster.
 
  We've also included some bug fixes related to the reliability of the new
  slave recovery feature (we discovered these by killing slaves at frequent
  intervals to stress test recovery). These are MESOS-679 and MESOS-680.
 
  The remaining bugs can be seen here:
 
 
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12311242version=12324994
 
 
 
 
 
  The candidate for Mesos 0.14.1 release is available at:
  http://people.apache.org/~bmahler/mesos-0.14.1-RC1/mesos-0.14.1.tar.gz
 
  The tag to be voted on is 0.14.1-rc1:

  added to our KEYS file).
 
  The JAR is up in maven in a staging repository here:

Hi All,

Yes, thanks for reporting on this list and apologies for the error. I

  The link works for me; it's href is

  What browser are you using, and is it still broken for you?

 It's correct now, thanks.  FWIW: I'm using FF 24.0 on Linux.  When it

[PROPOSAL] Aurora for Apache Incubation

[Dave Lester]

Hi All,

We're pleased to share a draft ASF incubation proposal for Aurora, a
service scheduler used to schedule jobs onto Apache Mesos that we've
developed at Twitter. Aurora provides all of the primitives necessary to
quickly deploy and scale stateless and fault tolerant services in a
datacenter. The complete proposal can be found online:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/AuroraProposal

In particular, we'd love to add additional mentors to the project. Your
feedback is appreciated, which you can make on the
gene...@incubator.apache.org mailing list.

Thanks!

Dave
