Topics for this week
- (Ildiko) FYI. Mailing list will be upgraing to mailman3. This should have no user impact.
ARs from Previous Meetings
- ARM Enablement - Jackie Huang
- The ARM team is providing 6 servers to the StarlingX community and would like WR to host them.
- Discussed in the TSC portion of the meeting - See: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stx-cores
- This requires additional resources to manage the servers within WR; no current bandwidth to take this on.
- Action: SteveG following up on funding.
- Status: Open
- dockerhub changed StarlingX from free-team to team - Scott Little
- Discussed in the TSC portion of the meeting - See: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stx-cores
- Action: Ildiko/Mike working to address this with docker.
- Status: Closed
- Ildiko got StarlingX reinstated as an OSS Program-supported project - pending some documentation.
- Team to monitor rate-limiting issues and bring this up again if there are still issues.
- Action: Ildiko to raise the topic of looking for alternatives to dockerhub with the TSC. Ultimately, this will become a community resoucing discussion
- Status: Deferred. Ildiko shared the alternatives on the mailing list. This should still be considered for the future as dockerhub policies are not consistent
- Looking for community members to participate in US gov security initiative - Manju Rupani
- Suggested to introduce the topic on the mailing list and see if there is any interest
- Action: Manju to send to the mailing list.
- Status: In progress.
- Discussion started on the mailing list: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-August/014481.html
Open Requests for Help
- User Questions - sent by Ildiko
- https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-August/014391.html
- Several responses on the mailing list. It looks like this thread has been closed off.
- Status: Closed
- Not able to use NVIDIA drivers with StarlingX vbox installation - raised in the Aug9 meeting by Manju Rupani
- NVIDIA drivers should not be required to successfully setup StarlingX vbox installation, so the suggestion is to try w/o them first.
- Status: Open
- No updates for the last 3 meetings
- Still no success; looking for an alternative machine to setup the vbox installation
- Help w/ Install
- Two people asking for help with installation on IRC
- Bruno is trying to help them, but it appears that they are in a different timezone. If others can participate, it would be great.
- Status: Closed
- Believe that Bruno already answered the outstanding questions.
