Minutes
2.10.2 Release Update

Peter


 * Released on 12/12/2017, announcement sent out to mailing lists.

2.11.0 Release Update

Peter


 * FLR has landed to master. We are beginning to scrub the fixVersion content marked for 2.11.0.  If the 2.11 fixVersion is removed, it is deemed non-essential.  It may still land for 2.11.0, but we would not hold the release for it.
 * Cory: When will a release candidate be available?
 * Peter: We are looking at end of March for release, so there is some time before we get to that point.
 * Cory: Sounds good.  Cray may have some engineers available to help with testing if needed.

Upstream Lustre Client

James


 * The landing window is now open again.
 * James believes to have resolved one of the key problems with the sysfs work, hoping to have the patch ready today

lustre.org

Ken


 * Talked with Aurélien about his email to lustre-discuss regarding using Sphinx for the manual if there is interest in it.
 * Andreas: It appears that moving from one git based markup to a different markup won’t buy us that much.
 * Peter: Does moving to a new format help with google searches at all?
 * Andreas: If the opensfs copy of the manual is not being indexed, we should look at that.  I did a test with “lctl conf_param” and the first 3 results are the old wiki and doesn’t see any reference to the manual on lustre.org.
 * Ken: I had worked with Richard in the past to make sure it was indexed, so please let me know if we find otherwise.
 * We talked a few months ago about an intro to Lustre webinar. We began discussion again earlier this week on formalizing it more. The current plan going forward is to have 2 webinars, splitting setting up a proper development environment from a more substantial code overview.

Other Business


 * Peter: Is there a demand to hold a call between the holidays?  If not, we will pick up in January.
 * All agree to cancel the next call.

Next meeting will be on 2018-01-11 at 11:00am Pacific
