08:08:01 <opendevmeet> The meeting name has been set to 'publiccloud_sig'
08:08:26 <gtema> fkr will send out an email today regarding slot change to 0700 UTC during the summer time
08:08:47 <puck> Okay, cool. I'm okay with that change of time. 7pm for me.
08:08:59 <gtema> hehe, great
08:09:12 <gtema> #topic summit/forum/ptg session
08:09:41 <puck> Are there going to be forum sessions?
08:09:55 <gtema> there is info from foundation staff, that shortly there would be some infos about new slots (perhaps for PTG)
08:10:06 <gtema> we missed to submit the Forum session
08:10:17 <puck> Ah well
08:10:23 <gtema> but they say we can get it in this "soon-to-come" opportunity
08:10:47 <gtema> there we plan to talk in detail about certifications questions
08:11:10 <gtema> have you had something else in mind?
08:11:16 <puck> Okay.
08:11:16 <Guest924> Can confirm it will be soon. Hopefully will get that out tomorrow
08:11:21 <puck> Nope, I didn't have anything else in mind.
08:11:31 <Guest924> Ugh sorry my nick is messed up
08:11:46 <gtema> I guess this is diablo_rojo?
08:12:18 <puck> Cool
08:12:30 <diablo_rojo_phone> Better
08:12:31 <diablo_rojo_phone> Yes
08:12:36 <gtema> good, then we have covered 2 topic pretty quickly
08:13:11 <gtema> hey diablo_rojo_phone, thanks for infos. Keep me posted pls on that matter
08:13:52 <diablo_rojo_phone> I plan to send something to the discuss list either late today or early tomorrow.
08:14:20 <gtema> sounds great
08:14:21 <gtema> I guess it makes no sense to proceed on properties item when there are only 2 of us
08:14:34 <puck> Agreed
08:14:52 <gtema> anything special you wanted to discuss?
08:15:12 <puck> I do have a question, although maybe we need a few others.
08:15:28 <gtema> as you wish
08:15:45 <gtema> we can then end a meeting if you decide to wait for the next time
08:15:47 <puck> We have a few customers that are after SMB/NFS fronting block storage for their businesses. Anyone know of any solutions that are available to front Swift?
08:16:17 <gtema> to front swift? what do you mean with that?
08:16:22 <puck> We tried Storage Made Easy, and found it good, but now you can only buy it with Nasuni's other product and they won't support OpenStack
08:16:34 <puck> As in file shares on top of Swift.
08:16:58 <gtema> hmm, interesting
08:17:28 <gtema> I am personally not aware of any options
08:17:45 <puck> Okay, no worries, just thought I'd try. I'll ask again next time as well. ;)
08:18:28 <gtema> ok. But the demand is really interesting, not that I would think it makes much sense though ;-)
08:18:51 <gtema> customers are always coming with lot of funny demands
08:18:53 <puck> People want to get rid of their on-premise file servers and want to just buy fileshare as a service.
08:19:10 <puck> *But* for their office, not for their instances in the cloud.
08:19:12 <gtema> well, manilla is NFS
08:19:29 <gtema> for their offices? maybe NextCloud is an option for them
08:19:55 * puck shrugs
08:19:57 <puck> maaaaybe
08:21:11 <gtema> I see nextcloud has NFS and SMB support
08:21:24 <gtema> and this is something (opensource) for use at home and in office
08:21:39 <puck> Yeah, I'm actually just looking at their Enterprise offering now.
08:21:55 <puck> I know at least one of the European OpenStack clouds is offering NextCloud
08:22:18 <gtema> it should be not a problem to deploy it on top of openstack
08:22:32 <puck> Agreed. We have a Heat template for it, for small scale
08:22:55 <puck> https://docs.catalystcloud.nz/tutorials/other/deploying-nextcloud.html
08:23:23 <gtema> great
08:24:40 <gtema> ok, do we have something else?
08:24:47 <puck> Not from me
08:25:04 <gtema> great. Then thanks a lot
