This led to some problems in using their test instances - Amount of inter action between the EMEA people seemed quite low ... most attendees where from TU Dortmund Suggestions: - Provide a URL of chat and wiki a few days in advance - Test instances should be at least up and running a few days before the plugfest and run nonstop until a few days after the plugfest - There should be stable and experimental test instances to be able to separate client tests against stable servers from server tests - One organized sync up meeting per day where everyone is encouraged to report on problems and progress - It would be great if OVF could be included in the next plugfest - More organized plugfest agenda - have a tighter agenda with some points that includes everyone in the testing process 3) Logistics for future plugfest(s) - Target date - date options -- Earliest date would be January 3-5 or Feb 7-9 or Feb 28- Mar 1 -- AI: Tom will setup a doodle poll (Mark will forward to OVF & CIMI folks) --- Open a doodle poll for two weeks, then schedule next PF planning call the following Tuesday (22 November). - Potential participants: - Vision Cloud Project -- AI: David volunteered to develop a list of European target participants - Location(s) -- AI: Florian will look into other location options for Europe venue -- Agreed that Europe would be primary location (Mark & David are planning to attend) -- US location would be remote and may require Mark or David to be present --- If there is critical mass of US folks, then can look into an east coast location --- SNIA Tech Center not an option due to time zone deltas 4) Discuss cloud plugfest goals for 2012 - Could organize mini virtual plugfests leading up to main plugfests - schedule 3-4 plugfest per year spaced 3-4 mos apart. - Keep plugfests sequentially numbered, PF #1...n - helps demonstrate maturity of activity -- Plan to have plugfest T-shirts given out at some point -- AI: Setup doodle polls for each future plugfest after initial plugfest is set - Tom will look into schedules 5) Discuss options for formalizing cloud plugfests - More formalized testing procedure to run "stable" tests instances - Have stable test tools available - Interoperability testing between implementations after initial spec conformance testing - Get more data into Wiki matrix, later on we can look at a more formal method and publicizing results for marketing needs Next meeting: 22 November @ 7:00 AM Pacific Time Owner: Mr. Thomas Mancuso Group: TWG: Cloud Storage Sharing: This event is not shared to any other groups.
