Minutes
Development Infrastructure Update

Peter


 * Things should now be working as they were prior to the move.
 * Is anyone seeing anything that is not behaving as expected? Anything to sort out?
 * James: Is John Hammond's patch status page now working?
 * Yes, the new location is: https://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Patch+Status

2.12.0 Release Update

Peter


 * Oleg did a batch of landings to master last week, but a bit smaller than usual due to the changes.
 * Has anyone been doing any other testing or have any other 2.12 related feedback?
 * James: ARM wants to see support for ARM servers by SuperComputing.
 * Peter: It seems feasible.  We don’t normally publish support on a processor basis but we can aim to speak to it working.  Would they be interested in a presentation for LAD?
 * James: It  won’t be LAG but perhaps a demo for SC is a good target.
 * Peter: I would suggest to look at using the tip of master at that point in preparation for 2.12.  From a POC point view, the latest and greatest would be best.
 * James: Agreed.  2.11 would require other patches to be worked out as well.
 * Christopher: What is latest view of 2.12 GA window?
 * Peter: The original target was October, still trying to hold as close to that as possible with the changes.

Upstream Lustre Client

James


 * A lot of good stuff has gone in and we are testing the branch. We are now up to 2.9 support.
 * Almost all patches up to PFL landing to 2.10 are about ready.
 * It is all piecing together well and we are getting excellent feedback and good technical discussions.
 * A slack channel has been started, but an invitation is needed to join.
 * Peter: Can we put it on the lustre.org wiki?
 * Joe: It is now documented on the main page under "Community":  http://wiki.lustre.org/Main_Page
