Highlights
This week we had slow activity on virt-test, as many of the team members
are focused, working on new features. For folks that asked for activity
reports since the move to github, Chris worked on a nice library to
generate them. As for other subjects, let's discuss how we stand on the
autotest 1.0 release goals.

Commits on next - virt-tests
Slow week, with 12 patches applied. This probably means people should be
less shy applying patches :)

net: remove redundant evaluation
add definitions of multiqueue
net: add multiqueue support
net: update hotplug tests
Chris Evich (2):
virt: Added GithubIssues tool/module/class and example

Github reports library
Chris worked on a slick library to make possible to generate reports
from github. Take a look at the initial code here
https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pull/535
And send Chris some feedback :) Some of this agenda was generated using
this API, and this module and its consumers are expected to grow and
generate some slick reports for us.

Autotest reporting work
The scope of this work is outlined here
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/662
What is currently being worked on:
Make email generation more flexible, less brittle
This necessarily passes through defining a templating language that
allows for separating actual data from presentation
Found jsontemplate (http://json-template.googlecode.com) to be an
interesting choice:
Generate a JSON representation of autotest job results
Render it using jsontemplate
Problems -> Apache 2.0 code, incompatible with GPL v2 used in autotest,
python 2.4 doesn't have a native json module (introduced in 2.6).
Autotest 1.0
As we can see here:
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues?milestone=2&state=open
We have about 20% (25%?) of the goals for 1.0 closed, still have way
more things to work on, mainly:
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/614 Get rid of pexpect
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/612 Automated generation of
both rpm and debian packages
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/611 Functional server
packages for Debian
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/610 Support to parametrized
jobs
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/609 Allow autotest to
function well as an alternative test harness for beaker - This one is
halfway done, with initial patches applied to next.
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/608 Introduce Scheduling
based on hardware capabilities
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/607 Introduce a Machine
Reserve functionality
https://github.com/autotest/autotest/issues/605 Port Autotest RPC
Server to Django 1.5 - This should be one of the low hanging fruits to
harvest.
