Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with the irc logs here.
Hadoop
ttx created a draft spec document where he copied his notes on Hadoop packaging: the analysis of the dependencies that would need to be packaged and a review of the current Hadoop deb packaging by Cloudera. Anyone interested in packaging Hadoop can take the spec (and blueprint) from here to make it a reality.
Asterisk
jmdault confirmed that the target for karmic should be Asterisk 1.6, as there is not so much interest around in keeping 1.4. Upstream in particular doesn’t commit to any particular stable version. jmdault will start working on a 1.6 version of his DKMS-enabled Asterisk packaging.
ACTION: jmdault to start packaging asterisk 1.6+dkms
ubuntu-tips
nijaba created a wikipage and asked for comments about it. He reported no strong reaction against it from the community, more of an approval. The next step is to create an ubuntu-tips package, even if there aren’t many tips so far on the page, as they can be added later. ttx asked about rules on what makes an acceptable tip, and nijaba will add proposed rules to the wikipage. ttx also pointed out the need to be able to follow-up on some tips, so rules on what would make a good external reference link are also needed.
ACTION: nijaba to add rules detailing what makes a relevant tip and what’s not
Review progress made on specifications listed on the Roadmap
ttx commented that the current ServerTeam/Roadmap document is slightly out of date, so a general overhaul of that page seems to be needed. This should be discussed as a specific agenda point in the next meeting, so that everyone can prepare to the discussion.
ACTION: ttx to add Roadmap Review to next meeting agenda
As far as KarmicReleaseSchedule is concerned, please note that we passed DebianImportFreeze last week, so now syncs from Debian are subject to specific sync requests. Next milestone is Alpha3 release on July 23.
Open Discussion
alexm reported multiple recent requests about monitoring tools. zul mentioned nagios as the recommended tool, but alexm noticed that there wasn’t any mention of it in the Server Guide. sommer indicated that there is a nagios section in the Karmic Server Guide, however the only way to access it so far is to pull the bzr branch. sommer will make sure doc.ubuntu.com is updated. alexm offered to review this section contents.
Agree on next meeting date and time
Next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 7th at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.
