Minutes
  
Attendees: Tom, Mark, Florian, David 
 1) Establish schedule for plugfest planning meetings 
- Future planning meetings will be set for 7 AM Pacific Time 
 2) Recap of Cloud Plugfest at SDC (what worked and what did not) 
 + very glad with NetApp and how they organized everything 
+ It was great option to participate remotely and everything was manageable in spite of different time zone 
+ Presenting during the Cloud PlugFest helped interactions with the other participants and to understand their point of view for our solution 
- The 9h of Lag is hurting the communication 
- Have tighter agenda with some points that includes everyone in the testing process  
- It was sometimes hard to get in touch with the people in the US. This led to some problems in using their test instances 
- Amount of inter action between the EMEA people seemed quite low ... most attendees where from TU Dortmund 
 Suggestions: 
- Provide a URL of chat and wiki a few days in advance 
- Test instances should be at least up and running a few days before the plugfest and run nonstop until a few days after the plugfest 
- There should be stable and experimental test instances to be able to separate client tests against stable servers from server tests 
- One organized sync up meeting per day where everyone is encouraged to report on problems and progress 
- It would be great if OVF could be included in the next plugfest 
- More organized plugfest agenda 
- have a tighter agenda with some points that includes everyone in the testing process 
 3) Logistics for future plugfest(s) 
- Target date - date options 
-- Earliest date would be January 3-5 or Feb 7-9 or Feb 28- Mar 1 
-- AI: Tom will setup a doodle poll (Mark will forward to OVF & CIMI folks) 
--- Open a doodle poll for two weeks, then schedule next PF planning call the following Tuesday (22 November). 
 - Potential participants: 
- Vision Cloud Project 
-- AI: David volunteered to develop a list of European target participants 
 - Location(s) 
-- AI: Florian will look into other location options for Europe venue 
-- Agreed that Europe would be primary location (Mark & David are planning to attend) 
-- US location would be remote and may require Mark or David to be present 
--- If there is critical mass of US folks, then can look into an east coast location 
--- SNIA Tech Center not an option due to time zone deltas 
 4) Discuss cloud plugfest goals for 2012 
- Could organize mini virtual plugfests leading up to main plugfests 
- schedule 3-4 plugfest per year spaced 3-4 mos apart. 
- Keep plugfests sequentially numbered, PF #1...n - helps demonstrate maturity of activity 
-- Plan to have plugfest T-shirts given out at some point 
-- AI: Setup doodle polls for each future plugfest after initial plugfest is set - Tom will look into schedules 
 5) Discuss options for formalizing cloud plugfests 
- More formalized testing procedure to run "stable" tests instances 
- Have stable test tools available 
- Interoperability testing between implementations after initial spec conformance testing 
- Get more data into Wiki matrix, later on we can look at a more formal method and publicizing results for marketing needs 
 Next meeting: 22 November @ 7:00 AM Pacific Time
