Natty Development

• Nothing much to report here. The Work Items Tracker for beta1 seems to suggest we are a bit behind and need to postpone some items.

  • http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-server-ubuntu-11.04-beta-1.h

Ubuntu Server Team Events

• Texas Linux Fest, April 2nd, kirkland and RoAkSoAx will be presenting

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

• SpamapS and jhunt will be proposing jenkins jobs to test boot/shutdown in a UDS-O session

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)

• smb wondered how disappointed users would be if an SRU to the lucid kernel disabled NET_NS. hallyn believes that this is a popular component of LXC, even if it is somewhat buggy in lucid. SpamapS agrees that it would be a very unpopular move.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team (sommer)

• It would appear that sommer is no longer able to spend time working on the Ubuntu Server Guide or attend these meetings, and so we may need to seek more help with maintaining the server guide.

Weekly Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community

• kim0 noted that the virtual event, UbuntuCloudDays is happening March 23/24, and several server team members are presenting (soren, Daviey, SpamapS)

Open Discussion

• hally had brought up that the duplication required of the meeting chair to publish the meeting minutes was somewhat annoying. SpamapS pointed out his branch of Mathias Gug’s old ubuntuserver-meeting tool sends to multiple addresses at once, and allows the writer to create just one copy of the minutes.

• SpamapS: change kernel team representative from jjohansen to smb in meeting agenda going forward
• robbiew: update the fridge calendar with new ubuntu server meeting time

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

Because the previous meeting was pre-UDS, there were no ACTION points to review.

Natty Development

Specifications should be submitted for review, robbiew is reviewing/approving those that are ready.

Maverick SRUs

• JamesPage brought up bug #666028 as it would need verification.

• This brought up the bigger topic that there are no actual resources available to do verification of SRU’s right now, so we should all allocate some time to watching for SRU’s that are marked verification-needed and verify when possible. These are listed in Chuck’s SRU tracker: http://people.canonical.com/~chucks/SRUTracker/sru-tracker-bugs.html#verified_bugs

• There was talk of a “daily verification” schedule similar to bug triage. Discussion of this further is deferred.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

• The ISO images page was consolidated, causing some confusion. hggdh thought we were going to have to start doing ISO testing for MAC, armel, PPC, even possibly PS3.
  • robbiew put this to rest, i386/amd64 are the only ones requiring server ISO testing. This was just the result of consolidation.
• hggdh is expanding daily builds to include any packages that run extensive tests during their build process.
  • All are encouraged to send examples to hggdh. He will contact ubuntu developers for help in finding more.
  • mathiaz noted that rules files could be grepped for the ‘nocheck’ test that is suggested for any large test suites during build.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)

• jjohansen has transitioned his role as server team kernel delegate to smb
• smb notes kernel bug #415353 which he will be looking into to help address issues with teh bnx2x drivers.
• jjohansen noted that there is an SRU pending for bug #651370 which causes ec2 to crash with an invalid opcode in maverick
• jjohansen noted that pv-on-hvm drivers are in the natty kernel and will undergo testing/experimentation in the short term.

Meeting time and scheduling

• The meeting is a bit late in the day for many of the european participants, so it was proposed, and accepted, to move the meeting back to 1600 UTC.
  • robbiew will add an entry to the official #ubuntu-meeting calendar on the fridge

Open Discussion

• RoAkSoaX would like people to review his split for cluster-stack library packages. SpamapS suggests adding a merge proposal and asking ubuntu-server for review.

• or a more dynamic list by searching for tag server-mrs

RC bugs suggestions should be nominated for maverick and ttx should be made aware of them via IRC.

Drizzle state in maverick

Drizzle is currently broken in maverick. It may be possible to fix it for maverick if done this week.

Natty development (jib)

With feature development unwinding and only a handful of bugs targeted to release, this is a great time to put your thinking caps on for Natty if you have some spare time. Like last round, we’ll use the IdeaPool wiki page to gather thoughts.

LP blueprints should filed if someone is ready to lead a session at UDS-N.

If someone has strong connection with other communities a targeted call for ideas could be useful.

Maverick development (jib)

Alpha3 was delivered last week, beta started with this list. This should be vetted by everyone, so that’s the deliverable as far as jib is concerned.

10.04.1 release (ttx)

10.04.1 was just postponed to next Tuesday, so initial plans need to be adjusted. Since ttx and Daviey will be away, jib, mathiaz and smoser should lead that effort. This will be confirmed by an email from ttx. Bug 571057 will make it, thanks to mathiaz last-minute merge and testing.

Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)

hggdh reported new regressions in eucalyptus. A fix is in the works and should land tomorrow. smoser asked about people using uec-provisioning, and Daviey reported using it with success. SpamapS raised an extremely high new bug rate over the last few weeks, but old timers dismissed it as a very normal new bug rate.

Maverick development (jib)

• alpha3 overcommitted, several WI postponed to beta.
• cloud-utils, daily-vcs, uec-monitoring: won’t be able to be done before FF.
• added blueprints to track ongoing work like ISO testing and triaging, just to provide more insight, so those will be in the tracker as well starting the beta cycle.
• most blueprints should be scoped for the beta workloads now, so please have a look and make sure there are no anomalies.

Alpha3-milestoned bugs (ttx)

• remaining bugs were retargeted to beta
• UEC: All-in-one topo working, other topologies and loadtesrting are still very broken

Alpha3 ISO testing (ttx)

• Cloud images will also be respun.

Remember area of ISO testing, it’s marked down on the corresponding work item.

• ttx has been missing recently is some presence tool. Eureka streams may not help in that regard. Being able to tell people are “at work”. Crosscheking with calendars doesn’t really help.
