Notes on Mirage meeting - 27 Aug

[Amir Chaudhry <amc79@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks these are my brief notes on what we spoke about at today's Mirage 
meeting.  
Please add in any further details as you remember them.  i.e Dimos, it would be 
worth you adding a little more info about your testing.

- Get a release out the door.  Anil pointed people to a GitHub Issue which 
check-lists all the things for DP1 and DP2. Mort has added to this with a list 
of repos we should review.  Issue is at: 
https://github.com/mirage/mirage/issues/102

- Spent some time looking through the check-list and discussing items.   Lots 
has been done and there's quite a bit to do but it's tractable. Anil working on 
trove to pull together info/updates from repos.

- Dimos went through the xen-server script and improved it.  Hasn't committed 
it yet.  Dimos can lead with lead w XenServer RT

- Dimos also did some network tests - developed something in TCP.  Not 
committed anywhere yet? (dimos is fairly new to github)

- Might be worth us having one machine to mess with. Use it to automate 
mirage-www. Need a spare test machine to install XenServer on.  Might use 
Bytemark machines for those?

- Mirage 1.0 release date.  Amir spoke to Lars and proposed a date of 22nd 
October. Picking a firm date far enough in advance allows Xen Project to get 
press resources and trigger the whole announcement machine. However, once date 
is picked it cannot be changed (think 'juggernaut').  XenSummit is on 24th Oct 
so 22nd would work well.  Means getting DP1 out soon and DP2 out about a month 
later.

Best wishes,
Amir
