Re: [PRIMATE][SIG] Meeting Notes
All, SIG meeting was attended only by my work colleagues. I urge devs to participate in the SIG calls, if you're interested kindly share your email with me and I'll send you an invite for the next call in few weeks in early/mid-July.
22 June 2020
Major changes since tech preview demo/discussion:
- Translations and message confirmation string, doclinks
- Customisation: theme, logos, plugins etc.
- Metrics view show/hide
- New Instance View component
- Filterby: vms, templates
- Dashboard changes
- Footer: version strings
Issues:
- Documentation change images with Primate, 4.15 or 4.16?
- Packaging feedback?
- Community participation: testing/bugs reports, translation reports
- GA scope, testing, release
Discussed:
- Set option in config.json to hide footer/versions
- Configure footer string at bottom (Giles) (link to privacy policy etc...)
- Translation/Customisation/Plugin docs for users to participate and contribute (as PR)
- Update images/screenshots in CloudStack documentation:
- Bobby - primate is going to be default; move docs to 4.15
- not just images, but perhaps context (how to get in UI)
- Paul - not practical to do it for 4.15/timeline; let's do it by Xmas/4.16
- discuss users@, get users to participate; create primate-spefic branch
- Giles - not a huge task (less than 200 images); rewrite docs vs limit scope, get users help
- Packaging: deb, rpm; archive; docker to continue
Every CloudStack release would include a version of Primate or do a release of Primate
Include Primate deb/rpm in the repository of a CloudStack release
- Promote participation on users@
Regards.

Subject: Re: [PRIMATE][SIG] Meeting Notes
24 April 2020
High-level changes and updates:
* 100% complete by number of APIs to be supported for tech preview
* About 30 open issues, 20 open PRs
* Review/merge/test the issues/PRs before RC1 could be cut
* Demo shown:
* B&R support
* CKS
* SAML single-sign-on login
Topics discussed:
* Build and publishing Primate for users
* Primate release notes/admin/user documentation
Publishing Primate discussion:
* Two modes: basic (within mgmt server) and separately hosted by a webserver (built artifacts and/or docker)
* Linear releases from master branch (no maintenance of minor releases)
* Repository based publishing of deb/rpm packages:
* Publish via its own deb/rpm repository
* Publish via CloudStack deb/rpm repository:
* option #1 - copy specific Primate rpm/deb file to existing CloudStack repo and rebuilt metadata
pros - no instruction changes, cons - users will be limited and not allowed automatically to consume latest versions
* option #2 - two-step process: bundle a meta cloudstack-primate-release package that sets up cloudstack-primate deb/rpm repository so users don't have do it manually
pros - gives more control to users, cons - users will have to install primate in a two steps process (step1: install the -release package that sets up the repo config, step2: install cloudstack-primate package)
* Alternative/hosted approach:
* Docker container: publish via docker hub or Github docker package (bundle release that runs nginx in the container to serve primate)
* Following locations can be considered:
https://hub.docker.com/orgs/apachecloudstack/repositories
https://hub.docker.com/orgs/cloudstack/repositories
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/packages?package_type=Docker
* Host/publish archived zip/tarball on the ASF dist site and on tagged Github release
Misc comments discussed during the meeting (names redacted):
* The two-step install process is preferable, could allow users to not setup repository manually
* Having multiple modes of publishing and consuming releases is preferably, needs documented
* 4.14 release notes must be clear on how users can consume the tech preview
* How do we manage tech preview could be discussed/voted to get feedback/objection (note: tech preview itself won't be voted)
* An easy packaging solution is preferred, we've few months to discuss/decide how we do this until GA
* Should we bundle Primate within CloudStack while building deb/rpms? TBD if there are changes for developers (currently not necessary or needed)
* Update images in CloudStack documentation to use Primate screenshots
* All documentation to follow/updated on CloudStack docs website; however they may be mirrored/copied on the Primate Github wiki as well
* To figure out how Primate release notes/docs are published/hosted until GA (assuming Primate releases can be more often than CloudStack ones)
Topics to discuss immediately on dev@ (Rohit to open a separate discuss thread) wrt technical preview release:
* How do we host/publish technical preview release
* How do we host/publish technical preview documentation (release notes, setup/install instructions)
Note: another thread will be opened to discuss how Primate releases are handled longer term in next few months until GA

Subject: [PRIMATE][SIG] Meeting Notes
18 Nov 2019
High level:
* Attendees - Bobby, Gabriel, Paul, Rohit
* High-level project updates discussed: no major changes or significant work in last two weeks
* Few bugs fixes and PRs merged in last two weeks
* Technical preview project/progress board: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/projects/1
* Discussed usage of Github packages for docker, maven etc.
Actions and agreements:
* Gabriel/PCExtreme: exploring a Docker image/setup, Wido has agreed to donate VM/resources for the CI/CD setup for PR (a live env on each PR) - to explore Docker image, CI/env setup and bot-integration on Primate PRs and support for IPv6 in the UI
* Bobby/ShapeBlue - manual QA (may commence effort towards end of Dec)
* Rohit/ShapeBlue - work stalled on zone deployment, likely to be resumed this week
* Paul/ShapeBlue, rest - discuss if having guided tutorials (both videos and articles/docs) may help in driving the interest and traction to development output
Discussion for the community - there has not been any significant development output lately, at least in the last 2-4 weeks:
* How can we encourage the community to participate and contribute development towards the Primate project?
* If we work on video and docs/article tutorials that illustrate and guide on how to work with the UI and implement a real-world component/requirement, would that help?
