annegentleok, who's here for the doc team meeting?20:06
* annegentle whistles tunelessly20:06
deshantm:)20:06
*** dprince has quit IRC20:06
annegentleok, I'm going to go ahead and start :)20:06
annegentle#startmeeting20:07
openstackMeeting started Mon Aug 15 20:07:03 2011 UTC.  The chair is annegentle. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot.20:07
openstackUseful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic.20:07
annegentleWelcome one and all to the OpenStack Doc Team monthly meeting20:07
annegentleWe'll start by reviewing last month's action items.20:07
annegentle#topic Action items20:07
*** openstack changes topic to "Action items"20:07
annegentlecommunity accounts for http://openstack.org - request accounts through stephen.spector@openstack.org20:07
annegentleI'm pretty sure that people are using these mostly to blog, which is great.20:08
annegentleI'm going to mark it as Done.20:08
annegentlenext one: staging area for http://openstack.org20:08
annegentleso, we got a little distracted/confused by a need for a staging area for http://wiki.openstack.org so we've not got a next step for this yet. I emailed Todd Morey and mtaylor to find a good next step.20:09
annegentlewe likely need staging for both the wiki and the main site.20:09
annegentleI'm going to call this one In Progress.20:09
annegentleNext:20:09
annegentleAnne to add distributed scheduler to devref20:09
annegentleDone: http://nova.openstack.org/devref/index.html20:09
annegentleNext one: explore MoinMoin to DocBook paths20:10
annegentleTurns out in the case of the flat networking docs, copy/paste was just fine, but David Cramer and I did email some ideas for exporting MoinMoin to DocBook, he noted this MoinMoin feature: http://moinmo.in/RenderAsDocBook.20:10
annegentleI was concerned about security on the OpenStack wiki. You'd have to turn the feature on and then off real quick it seems, so for now, copy/paste is fine.20:11
annegentleLastly, a request for a wiki page to clarify which version of the nova/euca tools work with which version of openstack distro - Not yet started.20:11
annegentle#info ongoing action items including staging areas for wiki and openstack.org main site; wiki page to clarify version matrix that works with moving parts of OpenStack20:12
deshantmis that last action item feasible at this time?20:12
annegentledeshantm: with just a few Q&A sessions where I started investigating, I'd say it's complicated, but not impossible20:13
deshantmfair enough20:13
annegentledeshantm: what might be easier/more feasible is "known working arrangements?"20:13
annegentleit seems to involve a lot of poking devs to get answers.20:14
deshantmyeah we could get uses to report success of running euca/nova test scripts20:14
deshantms/uses/users/20:14
annegentleyeah that would be a quicker method20:14
annegentleok, next topics all revolve around general documentation status20:14
annegentle#topic openstack.org project status20:15
*** openstack changes topic to "openstack.org project status"20:15
annegentleA round of updates on openstack.org from Todd rolled out first week of August.20:15
annegentle#info openstack.org projects page now has Image service as a core project20:15
annegentle#info project pages have current features and roadmap on each individual page20:15
annegentle#info openstack.org company count dynamically updated on the community page20:16
annegentle#info Partner company logos scale to proper size20:16
annegentleI think those four items capture the changes.20:16
annegentleLike I said previously, still working on a staging area.20:16
deshantm100 companies now, nice!20:16
annegentleAny questions about openstack.org?20:16
annegentleyeah, it's so cool to see it update so fast too20:17
annegentleupdated20:17
annegentle#topic RST docs in each project (glance, nova, swift)20:17
*** openstack changes topic to "RST docs in each project (glance, nova, swift)"20:17
annegentlethe RST docs are developer oriented - by dev for dev.20:17
notmynameas god intended20:18
annegentleOne work in progress item is to get doc/man/ for man pages for all services and CLI tools. I'm tackling it little by little but certainly would invite others to do so too. I think the Swift team has intentions to store their man pages with the code like nova does.20:18
annegentlenotmyname: preach it brother notmyname :)20:19
notmynameannegentle: (for the record here) one of our ops guys has proposed adding the man pages for swift to the swift codebase20:19
annegentlenova's man page is woefully out of date, but I've got some updates20:19
annegentlenotmyname: excellent, thanks20:19
annegentleI would like to hold a week-long doc sprint sometime after code freeze, if anyone has suggestions for a week, please do propose some.20:20
annegentleIt looks like sometime after Aug 24th would work well since the code will be "slushy" and only bug fixes accepted.20:21
annegentleI'm thinking a virtual doc sprint would work well, but I'm happy to host one somewhere as well, with a preference for Austin, San Antonio, or San Francisco.20:22
annegentle#info looking for a good week to hold a doc sprint after the Aug 24 date.20:22
annegentleanything else on RST docs?20:22
annegentle#topic DocBook docs in openstack-manuals project20:23
*** openstack changes topic to "DocBook docs in openstack-manuals project"20:23
annegentle#info I'm adding CSS OSS http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook updates from http://code.launchpad.net/openstackbook to build automatically using our Jenkins server.20:23
annegentleFound out this week that the book also ships with Ubuntu Cloud. We're going to call it the OpenStack Starter Guide. Love Creative Commons licensing and a dedicated team, thank you CSS OSS!20:24
* deshantm likes Jenkins for CI20:24
annegentleyep, still working on the actual building but it's getting there.20:24
annegentlesure makes the possibilities for building out a library exciting.20:25
annegentledeshantm: you want to talk about the Hypervisor support matrix and testing?20:25
annegentle#link http://wiki.openstack.org/HypervisorSupportMatrix20:25
annegentle#topic Hypervisor support matrix20:26
*** openstack changes topic to "Hypervisor support matrix"20:26
deshantmHas the matrix so far been filled in manually?20:26
deshantmAnd now we are working on making automated tests?20:26
deshantmI didn't hear back from soren or jaypipes20:26
annegentledeshantm: yes, that's right. Mostly with notes from Rajesh interviewing vishy and others.20:26
* vishy looks around20:27
* vishy disappears in a puff of smoke20:27
annegentletesting has been fragmented, last I heard soren is working on all quality efforts20:27
jaypipesdeshantm: not quite sure what you are asking for.... mtaylor is responsible for the CI infrastructure, but what kind of automated tests specifically are you asking about (because there are many...)20:28
deshantmI'd like to establish if libvirt is used for KVM, the normal Xen hypervisor etc. or is KVM/Xen called directly at times?20:28
jaypipesdeshantm: libvirt is used for KVM20:28
deshantmAlso, there is a distinction between libvirt-based hypervisors and XenAPI-based hypervisors20:29
jaypipesdeshantm: for Xen, Xen is called directly20:29
deshantmjaypipes: for Xen there you must mean XenServer right?20:29
sorenI'm working on generating this stuff mostly automatically.20:29
jaypipesdeshantm: yes, KVM, LXC use libvirt. XenServer/XCP uses straight XenServer calls20:29
jaypipesdeshantm: you can check out the code in /nova/virt/20:30
deshantmXen (not XCP nor XenServer) can also be supported via libvirt20:30
sorenSo, i'll be cleaning things up to make sure that everything returns NotImplementedErrors when there's something they don't implement. During the test suite run, I track this, and dump it in a file that I'll then parse and generate the support matrix from.20:30
jaypipesdeshantm: yes, but it's not AFAIK20:30
jaypipesdeshantm: meaning if you choose Xen, we use the XenServer/XCP driver in /nova/virt/xenapi IIRC20:31
*** nati has quit IRC20:31
deshantmsoren: wasn't there some libvirt/Xen testing done early on (not XenServer/XenAPI-based), but normal Xen20:31
sorendeshantm: Yes.20:31
annegentleit would be great to use test results as "documentation" for what works on which release/revno20:32
deshantmwith Xen support coming back to Ubuntu, shouldn't we consider Xen a fist class citizen again20:32
deshantm11.10 will have dom0 tech preview20:32
deshantm12.04 should have Xen in main20:32
deshantmThe Xen.org team is able to help work through any issues20:33
*** nati has joined #openstack-meeting20:33
deshantmalso from the XenAPI side of things, do you guys need any help from the Citrix devs to make sure those tests are automated?20:34
annegentlesore: this generated support matrix from test suite results - what will it look like, where will you publish it?20:35
sorenannegentle: No clue yet.20:35
sorenannegentle: It's not going to be done any time soon. There's a massive amount of work to be done before everything is covered by tests.20:36
soren...and until then I can't extract this information.20:36
deshantmthere has been a fair amount of use/testing going on with XCP/XenServer + OpenStack lately20:36
annegentlesoren: sounds like calling in some supporting teams to send in tests is a good idea then20:36
annegentle#action: deshantm, soren, jaypipes, mtaylor pow-wow about test automation20:37
annegentlemind if I move to next topic?20:37
sorenhang on.20:37
annegentlesure, go ahead20:38
sorendeshantm: This isn't about people trying stuff out in various configurations.. This is about actual unit test coverage.20:38
deshantmsoren: yeah, i understand that20:38
sorenIt's also not about automating a set of existing tests.20:38
sorenIt's about writing a mind numbing amount of unit tests for all the stuff that has no coverage whatsoever at the moment.20:38
deshantmright, I get that.. that is why I think there is an issue with the matrix20:39
sorenI just want to manage expectations here :)20:39
annegentleso, is the matrix only going to be manual for a while?20:39
sorenIt's not going to be done in a week or two or three. It'll be a *while*.20:39
annegentle#undo20:39
sorenannegentle: Yes.20:39
openstackRemoving item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x1a51450>20:39
deshantmi think it may give users a wrong impression of what is possible for each of the hypervisors20:39
jaypipeshttp://wiki.openstack.org/GlanceFeatureMatrix20:40
jaypipesI keep ^^ up to date manually...20:40
annegentle#info automated tests aren't just about various configurations, there is a gap in actual unit test coverage20:40
deshantmso it's non-trivial, but Xen.org/Citrix is willing to help on the Xen sides of things20:41
annegentle#info manually compiled support matrices may give users less info and not specify what is possible with each hypervisor20:41
deshantmwe just need to know what help we should provide20:42
annegentle#info tradeoff and balancing act is in the amount of work for automated testing and configurations available.20:42
annegentleI still think there's an action in there for you guys to discuss further.20:42
annegentlecould we take this to the next CI meeting? It's tomorrow, right?20:43
deshantmhttp://wiki.openstack.org/Meetings/CITeamMeeting20:43
annegentleyup. I'll update that agenda.20:44
annegentleok, last topic under status updates is for deshantm to fill us in on the XenServer plugin20:44
annegentle#topic Discuss XenServer Plugin status and docs20:44
*** openstack changes topic to "Discuss XenServer Plugin status and docs"20:44
deshantmok so we are building the openstack xenapi plugins to an RPM with an internal jenkins instance20:45
*** msinhore has joined #openstack-meeting20:45
deshantmThe yum repo is here:20:45
deshantm#link http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/openstack/openstack-xen-plugins/20:46
deshantm#action deshantm to test and document usage of XenAP-based hypervisors20:46
deshantmany questions?20:47
annegentlenice, that was one of the dependencies for starting to document deployment practices? We keep sending people to the wiki page, http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment, but would love deployment-oriented doc.s20:47
deshantmyeah, that's the plan20:47
annegentleexcellent. I should be able to test your instructions and review as you see fit.20:48
deshantmgreat, thanks20:48
annegentle#topic Doc bugs20:48
*** openstack changes topic to "Doc bugs"20:48
annegentleTriaging and fixing as I go, you can always send people there if they want small doc tasks.20:49
annegentlelink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals20:49
annegentle#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals20:50
annegentleand also the ones tagged "documentation" gathered from all the openstack projects20:50
annegentle#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack/+bugs?field.tag=documentation20:50
annegentleok, just 10 minutes to go, how about open discussion?20:50
annegentle#topic Open discussion20:50
*** openstack changes topic to "Open discussion"20:51
annegentle#info Project policy board voted to standardize tools for OpenStack projects and I'd like the docs to follow suit.20:51
deshantmcan this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/~openstack-doc) link to that one20:51
annegentledeshantm: sure, I think so.20:51
annegentlethough I like the "There are currently no open bugs" ha ha.20:52
deshantmso things are moving to git right?20:52
annegentleI want to move from Launchpad to Github and store source using git by October (in time for the Oct 3-5 Design Summit). Any Gotchas or potholes to discuss? Considerations for docs or reasons not to are certainly welcome as well.20:52
annegentledeshantm: only code hosting is moving to git. Bugs, blueprints, stay in Launchpad20:53
deshantmcode in git for docs works fine for me, I can't think of any issues20:53
annegentledeshantm: ok, great. So far I haven't heard any compelling reasons not to.20:54
annegentleor any reasons not to :)20:54
deshantmcan we start by mirroring to github and using it by default or something?20:54
annegentle#info OpenStack docs want to move from Launchpad to Github and store source using git by October (in time for the Oct 3-5 Design Summit).20:54
annegentledeshantm: I haven't even looked at the first steps yet, if mirroring is the right first step then we can do that.20:55
annegentlemtaylor has offered to help out20:55
deshantmothers probably know the process better20:55
annegentle#action annegentle to work on process for getting to git20:55
deshantmI'm happy to start using git for docs when it is ready to test20:55
deshantmjust let me know20:55
annegentlemy only first step has been reading "Pro Git" thanks to David Cramer pointing it out20:56
