Petri/WeeklyMeeting/2011-12-21

Coordination Mechanics

• most discussion on mailing list and in irc #petri
• weekly meetings hopefully very short, primary goal to produce project update artefacts for broader consumption

Discussion Notes

• Agreement that we need to look at VM provisioning as well as PaaS.
• Agreement to do short-term iterations, and avoid boiling the ocean (such as starting by designing dashboards)
• Agreement that because we're dealing with a smallish number of users, we can defer things like account provisioning automation and start with manual processes.
• Agreement that once one has an account, self-serve is critical -- no manual step needed to get up and going.
• Agreement that current labs cluster setup is suboptimal (in particular, no dns automation, lack of network isolation between VMs) but fixable post-datacenter move.
• Agreement on current evaluation criteria (see [/Petri main page]

Action Items

• mark: schedule calls with "vendors" to ask about roadmaps
• all: come up with list of "tasks" for developers and operators, in PaaS and IaaS:
  • PaaS tasks
