Precise Development
Daviey pointed to http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/release-bugs.html and http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/triage-report.html need some love. rbasak agreed to take bug 906735 (“package installation should create /var/log/puppet”), and SpamapS thought bug 898340 (“mysql clients statically link libmysqlclient in”) should be on the release radar.
adam_g completed charms for openstack, and SpamapS will review.
jamespage is off the stable rotation now, and will have time to work on the CI lab.
Daviey asked that everyone look for good bug targets for next week.
Ubuntu Server Team Events
Next week, some of the server team will be sprinting in Budapest, and Fosdem
Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)
jamespage put a few new iso install tests live, so we now have daily testing. patrickmw has put up a new precise dashboard reporting daily testing results at https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com. Precise ec2 images are broken due to a kernel oops (bug 911204). smb believes xen guests were broken by some upstream rtc changes. Openstack automated testing should be picking up in the next few days.
Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)
Bug 902951 (“CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK shouldnt be a module”) was brought up, but appears to be stalled.
Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (NCommander)
Daviey is concerned that ARM kernel bugs will be found late in the cycle. rbasak therefore agreed to try precise on a pandaboard.
Open Discussion
rbasak asked about bug 858878 (“lack of csrf protection in cobbler-web”). RoAkSoAx says it’s a security issue and therefore goes through a different process than SRUs, so he can’t do any more to kick it. adam_g asked zul to bake the next openstack snapshot in a ppa for a few days before the friday release.
Agree on next meeting date and time
Next meeting will be on Tuesday, Jan 17 at 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

Review ACTION points from previous meeting
As Somer has sadly announced he does not have sufficient time to continue his excellent work on the docs, kim0 is going to help us by working to create a new community around documentation.
Regarding oneiric images not booting on hvm instances, smb had a test image fixing that problem.
Oneiric Development
With everyone sprinting the previous week, our bug list had grown again. Both the triage report and server release bug lists needed work. Daviey said that feature freeze exceptions need to be raised for every feature not yet landed.
Ubuntu Server Team Events
lynxman and company are sprinting next week for openstack and orchestra. Linuxcon is this week.
Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)
smb was wondering whether the rename of xvd to sd patch should be reverted on maverick as well. smoser was not comfortable with that, they will discuss further.
Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)
hggdh asked, (1) “are there any new tests we should run on the ISO tracker?” and (2) “what is the status of openstack & companions?”. Daviey said we need more tests, and hopefully Jamespage will be able to help with that soon. Jamespage started a list of openstack testing at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Oneiric/OpenStackTestPlan.

Posted in Ubuntu Server on Friday, 8 July 2011 by s3hhHere are the minutes of the server team meeting. They can also be found online with the irc log here.
A large portion of the team was out, recovering from last week’s terrific sprint. Alpha2 is out this week, and Daviey asks that we all give it a try and report bugs. Handling our incoming bug count is a priority but we also need to focus on feature development. Ping Daviey if you are unclear on what should be your priorities.
The team welcomed new members m_3, utlemming and Ursinha, then adjourned.
