[Starlingx-discuss] Community meeting Feb 13th notes

[Jones, Bruce E]

Agenda and notes for the Feb 13th call
*         Bruce will be OOO next week.  Can someone else chair this meeting? [Bill Z volunteers]
*         The outreach working group has the following suggestions for things we'd like to see to help community outreach

  *   A "getting started" SIG / sub-project to help new contributors get up to speed

  *   Office hours on IRC

  *   Marking LP/SB entries that are simple/easy to also help new contributors
?  Mark stories with "stx.easy" or similar?  Use stx.help.wanted - Bill to look for bugs to label
*         This is something many projects do, especially in github where labelling is quite easy, eg. Kata Containers, "help wanted" - https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22
*         Would need people who know what issues/bugs/features in all the projects are good for new contributors to label them, and then have somewhere that those labels are linked from (perhaps off the main website?).
?  Define new stories for easy but not yet staffed efforts e.g. Unit Testing?
?  Posting a todo list?
?  Ask each sub-project to identify easy work items in their domains?

  *   A series of blog posts in the OSF blog about the new features in the May release (to be posted post May)
?  e.g containers, distributed cloud, CentOS 7.6, Ceph 13, etc...
?  Brent to write a container blog.

  *   Meanwhile please do everything you can to spread the word about StarlingX within your company and communities, to welcome new community members to the project and help make them successful.

  *   Abraham will help.  Curtis too.
*         Our wiki needs updating.  Any objections to me (Bruce) doing some major refactoring?  None heard :)
*         Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG planning (ildikov)

*         docker mirror story board needs to merge - pending on Mingyuan's review
*         Sanity results from Ada's team - looking for them to come out tommorrow.
*         please use stx.containers for any new issues so the team can find them!

  *   Security (Ken)
?  work in progress on CVE scans (as per ARs above)
?  Github is doing security scans of our repos there.  Ken getting them indirectly.  Dean to help see if we can add recipients

  *   Ceph upgrade (Vivian)
?  Team discussing how to divide and conquer the remaining work.  Key team members still on CNY.

  *   CentOS upgrade (Cindy)

?  Build is fairly stable, no issues expected for container cut-over

  *   Dist-Cloud (Dariush)
?  Looking for issues that need resolution that might be caused by the container changes.

  *   Test (Ada)
?  See above :)  Work continues to review the regression suite and decide which tests can be kept and which need to change.

  *   Multi-OS (Cesar)
?  We had an _interesting_ meeting on Monday and reset expectations for what we want to do for May.  Multi-OS spec has been updated and the team is looking for review and feedback!
