Happy New Year -- and what resolutions / plans do we have?

[Matt Hogstrom <ma...@hogstrom.org>]

I wanted to kick start a conversation about some plans for this year  
to get people's blood flowing and brains coming out of the Christmas  
holiday time.

I'm curious to get a levelset on the code status, 2.1 plans, Wiki  
ideas etc.

I'm going to be updating the Incubator web sites this week and  
starting to figure out my plans for time investment so I'd like to  
hear what others are thinking.

Re: two small suggestions: change the name of the config file into default config files.

Frank,

Good idea - I created a Jira issue for it.

two small suggestions: change the name of the config file into default config files.

[Frank Schwichtenberg <sc...@us.ibm.com>]

just a short suggestion

I would find it beneficial if the two configuration files in the web 
interface


$DOCUMENT_ROOT/.ht-inc/conf.php
$DOCUMENT_ROOT/.ht-inc/secrets.php

would be renamed to

$DOCUMENT_ROOT/.ht-inc/conf-default.php
$DOCUMENT_ROOT/.ht-inc/secrets-default.php

That way we can check out the code in our sandbox without accidentally 
loosing the configuration.

Typically I would supply a patch for this, but I guess that does not make 
sense here ...

The current code set in trunk is what is running at the NCSU production 
system and is mostly ready for public use - minus detailed documentation... 
a task for the wiki.

This code set is modularized so folks can contribute additional 
provisioning modules, the long-term idea is a person would not need to 
modify the core, but simply use a module template to develop a provisioning 
module that would support a particular provisioning engine or interact with 
different hypervisors, like TPM, cobbler, xCAT2.0, vmware toolkit, xen, 
some other cloud...etc.

A summary of the 2.1 plans that we would like to see happen and need to be 
vetted are located here and in jira under 2.1 versions
<http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/VCL+2.1+goals>

Some are of the 2.1 tasks are code and database cleaning others are 
bringing some of the other code functions up 2 date with the.

We've started also a couple of feature items for 2.2, neither of the 
versions have a timeline.

As far as the wiki - I'm open to layout ideas. But we need to write quite a 
bit of documentation surrounding installation, setup, development 
contributions and processes that adhere to ASF and our sanity :).
