21:04:16 <quaid> #startmeeting CentOS Board public meeting
c3b3e1
21:04:16 <centbot> Meeting started Wed Mar  5 21:04:16 2014 UTC.  The chair is quaid. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot.
c3b3e1
21:04:16 <centbot> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic.
c3b3e1
21:07:11 <quaid> #topic Core S
c3b3e1
21:07:19 <quaid> #topic Core SIG
c3b3e1
21:07:36 * quaid thinks that is in the log although centbot doesn't have OPs to change the local channel topic
c3b3e1
21:08:39 <quaid> #info although RHEL 7 upstream isn't doing a 32-bit build, we have reason to do it as part of building the main distro.
c3b3e1
21:08:44 <quaid> #idea 32-bit is part of Core SIG
c3b3e1
21:08:49 <quaid> #idea or 32-bit is it's own SIG
c3b3e1
21:09:37 <quaid> #info for 64-bit we don't need to build 32-bit ISOs, make sure installs work, and make sure kernels work
c3b3e1
21:09:54 <quaid> #idea we could do most of the work in the Core SIG and have the 32-bit SIG focus on the final ISO building and testing
c3b3e1
21:16:42 <quaid> #agreed Core SIG can produce 32-bit RPMs, and 32-bit SIG can focus on building and testing ISOs; as that SIG gains merit they can gain more access to do the work; all of the work could be tested as part of the QA.
c3b3e1
21:17:09 <quaid> #topic Virt SIG proposal
c3b3e1
21:25:36 <quaid> #info Virt SIG would be for all virtualization-related updated software needs, bootstrapping with Xen
c3b3e1
21:30:39 <quaid> #idea SIGs should look to the common e.g. qemu in Virt SIG (even to maybe carry a patch for them) before carrying their own variation of a package in their own SIG
c3b3e1
21:31:02 <quaid> #idea make it so everyone can consume from central
c3b3e1
21:31:25 <quaid> #idea Virt SIG could be a good place for carrying the latest upstream KVM for those who want it
c3b3e1
21:31:47 <hughesjr> also a new libvirt is going to be needed
c3b3e1
21:31:56 <ccmolik> +1 on new kvm shinynes
c3b3e1
21:32:14 <csieh> So is there a "charter" for what the Core SIG should do
c3b3e1
21:32:17 <quaid> #info Virt SIG will also need to carry a new libvirt
c3b3e1
21:32:31 <quaid> hughesjr: was that an accurate capture of your statement?
c3b3e1
21:32:53 <hughesjr> yes
c3b3e1
21:32:55 <quaid> csieh: this is the best for now:
c3b3e1
21:32:57 <quaid> http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Core
c3b3e1
21:33:12 <quaid> but it could be updated, such as to include the 32-bit discussion for Cent 7
c3b3e1
21:34:15 <Evolution> csieh: is there something in that you'd like to see updated or changed?
c3b3e1
21:35:38 <csieh> just would like the goal to be documented,  if changed that is ok just need to document it so others can know what is going on
c3b3e1
21:36:12 <quaid> #action Core SIG needs to update it's charter & run that by the Board
c3b3e1
21:36:44 <csieh> so the above web page talks about CentOS,  so what really is CentOS as far as this discussion is concerned
c3b3e1
21:37:57 <Evolution> csieh: yeah, we need to word that loads better. I think it needs to reference the packages (and build requirements) for the upstream(rh) packages only.
c3b3e1
21:38:10 <kbsingh> so, CentOS Linux
c3b3e1
21:38:13 <hughesjr> it says CentOS Linux ... so it controls everything that is NON-SIG
c3b3e1
21:38:23 <hughesjr> or CoreOS
c3b3e1
21:39:09 <hughesjr> and manages all infrastructure owned by the project
c3b3e1
21:40:25 <quaid> #info 'CentOS' in the Core SIG description means "CentOS Linux, controls everything not done by other SIGs, is the core OS"
c3b3e1
21:40:43 <quaid> hughesjr: I thought we had the Infra SIG as a different SIG, with Core SIG maintaining the build system(s)?
c3b3e1
21:41:04 <hughesjr> we WILL have one, but not yet
c3b3e1
21:41:08 <quaid> in that I'd like us to be able to add people to Infra SIG without being part of the Core SIG - diff skillsets, merit criteria, etc.
c3b3e1
21:41:12 <quaid> hughesjr: ok, thanks
c3b3e1
21:41:38 <quaid> #idea have an Infra SIG that takes the infrastructure management work off the hands of the Core SIG, who can then maintian just the build system (or systems for the community builders)
c3b3e1
21:42:16 <toracat> who would maintain the source files through git.centos.org ?
c3b3e1
21:42:38 <Evolution> toracat: depends on which code you mean?
c3b3e1
21:42:47 <toracat> RHEL
c3b3e1
21:43:28 <Evolution> we would, the same/similar way we do so now in the private build setup. it'll be read-only and branched
c3b3e1
21:43:57 <Evolution> the rhel code would be able to be branched/forked etc. but  not edited.
c3b3e1
21:44:08 <toracat> we == Core SIG ?
c3b3e1
21:44:10 <hughesjr> the Core SIG will maintain the CentOS Linux source code in git.centos.org ... other SIGs will maintain their code in there
c3b3e1
21:44:19 <Evolution> toracat: yes.
c3b3e1
21:44:24 <toracat> thanks
c3b3e1
21:45:20 <Evolution> toracat: sorry. abusing the 'royal we'
c3b3e1
21:45:41 <toracat> :D
c3b3e1
21:45:43 <hughesjr> we is we and it is everyone who is not they :D
c3b3e1
21:46:30 <Evolution> toracat: good point/question though
c3b3e1
21:46:39 <toracat> I want to hear range talk :) he is too quiet
c3b3e1
21:47:04 <Arrfab> toracat: .eu people are silent and almost sleeping :-p
c3b3e1
21:47:06 <hughesjr> he is asleep
c3b3e1
21:47:17 <toracat> I see now
c3b3e1
21:48:58 <Evolution> $5 says range has a nice lager/ale beside him.
c3b3e1
21:49:02 <quaid> range looks a bit like a monk in his mini-vid inset pic
c3b3e1
21:49:58 <quaid> yeah, I want video voting cards
c3b3e1
21:50:37 <quaid> #agreed tentatively agreed to approve Virt SIG proposal as new charter, upcoming content on the Wiki; need to get input from Tru
c3b3e1
21:50:42 <Evolution> toracat: anything you'd like to hear covered?
c3b3e1
21:50:43 <quaid> #topic Any other business?
c3b3e1
21:50:53 <Evolution> csieh: you as well
c3b3e1
21:50:56 <toracat> Evolution: not for today
c3b3e1
21:51:26 <quaid> what do we want to do about the functional SIGs? e.g. QA in particular
c3b3e1
21:51:52 <csieh> no other business from me
c3b3e1
21:52:21 <toracat> csieh: hi, good to see you here :)
c3b3e1
21:56:18 <kbsingh> range looks very pensive
c3b3e1
21:56:23 <quaid> #info In general, we'll be able to bring up functional SIGs e.g. Documentation, QA, Promo, Artwork, etc.; have a dependency on an auth system to share resources granularly v. all-or-nothing
c3b3e1
21:58:08 <quaid> #info Jim Perring has been working with FreeIPA and Fedora Auth System (FAS) to see how they compare; FreeIPA looks really nice & would be a good reference story; FAS has all the features we need but is really customized.
c3b3e1
22:00:43 <quaid> #undo
c3b3e1
22:00:43 <centbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x17c0f90>

22:00:49 <quaid> #info Jim Perrin has been working with FreeIPA and Fedora Auth System (FAS) to see how they compare; FreeIPA looks really nice & would be a good reference story; FAS has all the features we need but is really customized.
c3b3e1
22:00:53 <quaid> hate when I do that to his name
c3b3e1
22:00:58 <Evolution> toracat: I'm sorry if I butched your name
c3b3e1
22:01:07 <toracat> close
c3b3e1
22:01:20 <quaid> btw, others can do #info, #idea, only Chairs can do #agreed, #undo
c3b3e1
22:01:27 <range> Okay, no hoodie next time :)
c3b3e1
22:01:27 <quaid> I'll pass out #chair next time
c3b3e1
22:01:31 <Evolution> toracat: phonetic spelling?
c3b3e1
22:01:36 <Evolution> toracat: how do I say it?
c3b3e1
22:01:45 <quaid> always a good idea to spread chair in case the meeting starter is netsplit
c3b3e1
22:01:48 <toracat> Evolution: yes. ah-keh-me
c3b3e1
22:01:59 <Evolution> ah, so no long ee sound.
c3b3e1
22:02:36 <range> Evolution: No, the lager is on the balcony.
c3b3e1
22:02:48 <range> (I might get one, though).
c3b3e1
22:02:48 <toracat> now range is awake
c3b3e1
22:03:06 <range> Yeah, completely missed this channel :)
c3b3e1
22:03:41 <quaid> ok, closing the minutes/log
