Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online
with the irc logs here.

Review ACTION points from previous meeting

  • kirkland to adapt help.ubuntu.com VM recipe(s?) to use libvirt: in progress

ACTION: kirkland to finish adapting help.ubuntu.com VM recipe(s?) to use libvirt

  • mathiaz to add test case for image store in testcases wiki: Done

  • zul to write up server upgrade test case: Done

  • nurmi to investigate bug 455625: TODO

ACTION: nurmi to investigate bug 455625

  • soren to complete demo virtual appliance: Published and tested, could use some polish
  • mdz to chase down details on production image store: Running and tested
  • mathiaz to test UEC integration with production image store: Tested and working OK

Karmic release last actions

Remaining RC bugs:

  • 458850: on track to be included on release cloud images

  • 458576: is safe to fix and would get rolled in the same respin

ISO testing and mentioning relevant bugs in the release notes should be the focus of this week.

Release notes candidates are:

  • 459101: Relay denied from eucalyptus registration emails

  • 444352: DB deadlock on reboot prevents UEC from working, temporarily

kirkland will review the bug lists and mention anything else UEC-related that I think is worth release-noting.

We should also help where we can the Foundations team in solving 457767 (iSCSI boot). It now seems related to kernel issue so wee should update the documentation to reflect current support.

Lucid Lynx

mdz gathered requirements from Canonical stakeholders, with some more to come. Items are expected in the same broad categories as 9.10: UEC, EC2, appliances, enterprise deployment items. But we will aim to focus on stabilization and negotiate our commitments with regard to that. Opening the meeting to 10.04 suggestions, lots of ideas were discussed. A wikipage was created to followup on those suggestions (and allow to suggest more): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/LucidIdeaPool

ACTION: ttx to create wiki page for 10.04 input from server team (Done)

Open discussion

kirkland mentioned that the new time slot for the meeting (Wednesdays at 1400 UTC) is difficult for him, so we might (again) change it. ttx asked about how the triage days were going, and updated the knowledge base to make information about them more accessible. mdz asked about release parties that the team plans to go to, as a great way to celebrate and let the pressure go. mathiaz plans to get free beers all night.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Wednesday, November 4th at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

  • Introducing Testdrive!
    I'm pleased to introduce a new package I have created for Ubuntu called testdrive!Testdrive makes it simple to run any Ubuntu release in a virtual machine, safely, and without affecting your current Ubuntu installation.This is a great way to "try out" the Ubuntu release beyond your current version, before upgrading. For example, if you're […]
  • Ubuntu 9.10 Byobu and OpenWeek Session
    I thought I would provide a brief set of highlights about Byobu accomplishments during the Karmic development cycle, now that we have released Ubuntu 9.10. Also, I'd like to promote my Ubuntu Open Week Presentation on Byobu, which is scheduled for 18:00 UTC, tomorrow, Tuesday November 3, 2009. It will included a live demonstration, in Amazon EC2. Be pre […]

  • karmic and log rotation
    In Ubuntu’s Karmic and and Debian’s Lenny, sysklogd was replaced with rsyslog. This is fine, since rsyslog will have converted your /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. However, if you modified the (maddeningly strange sysklogd-specific) log file rotation in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd or /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd, you’ll want t […]
  • TPM as RNG
    I was reminded about some TPM coding I’d done to get random bytes from the pRNG on my TPM-enabled system from Matt Domsch’s recent post. I’m not fully convinced that the pRNG of the TPM is an appropriate source of entropy, but it does pass my simple FIPS-140-2 test. I had to find the Intel TPM docs to figure out how to enable TPM on my syst […]
  • uninstall sun-java6
    With the vrms meme raging on Planet Ubuntu, I noticed some people still have sun-java6 installed. I’ve been using openjdk-6 since Hardy, and everything I use works fine with it (e.g. Vuze, Catan, Eclipse, FreeMind, and even Facebook’s photo uploader thing). Given the Ubuntu Tech Board’s “remove sun-java6 from the archive” Agenda […]

Lucid being an LTS release we wanna make sure that packages in main are maintainable for 5 years.  Useful packages should be promoted to main while packages that provide duplicated functionalities or are not maintain […]
  • Sep 20 – Sep 25 Wrap-up
    Spent most of my week in Portland to attend conferences. Conferences Attended LDAPCon 2009 and published report. Attended LinuxCon 2009. Image Store Proxy Updated image-store-proxy to 1.0. This version brings support for gpg signed images. Still need testing against the real-world Canonical Image Store infrastructure.
  • A summary of LDAPCon 2009
    On Sunday, September 20th and Monday, September 21st I attended LDAPCon 2009 in Portland, OR. Most of the open source projects were there – with the notable absence of Port 389 (Redhat) – as well as some vendors (Apple and UnboundID). Most of the slides are available online. Apache Directory project The Apache Directory folks gave several present […]

  • UDS Lucid
    This week, Dallas hosts the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the Lucid Lynx release. This is the key moment where we define what will be done for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and discuss how it will be done. There will be plenty of interesting sessions in all the tracks, and sometimes I wish I could attend two sessions at the same time. In the server track, Monday will have […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 3
    In part 1 and part 2 of this series, we saw how to set up a minimal cloud infrastructure and bundle a basic image (and test it). In this final article, we’ll play with our cloud from an end-user perspective. Setting up the web UI First of all, before accepting end users, as the administrator of the cloud you will have to setup a few things on the web U […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 2
    In part 1 of this series, we saw how to install the cloud infrastructure. In this article, we’ll bundle and upload an EMI (Eucalyptus Machine Image), based on Ubuntu Server 9.10 Beta, and validate that we can run an instance of it. Download required elements Go to the cloud/cluster controller and download the required items. For a 64-bit image: $ URL= […]
