Meeting summary
---------------
* Gathering of the minds and roll call (rbergeron, 19:00:59)
* Eucalyptus (rbergeron, 19:04:05)
* Euca is very close to having packages done/cleaned-up with only 5 or
6 pkgs left, but many more need reviews (rbergeron, 19:07:37)
* LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eucalyptus (rbergeron,
19:08:00)
* Things needing review are listed on the Euca wiki page on fp.o and
that page is up to date (rbergeron, 19:08:20)
* ACTION: mull and mgoldmann to swap reviews because they both need
them :) (rbergeron, 19:08:38)
* AS7 progress (rbergeron, 19:08:58)
* AS7 has 84 pkgs in total; 59 in rawhide/f17, 24 in progress
(rbergeron, 19:11:27)
* cleared licensing issues blocking about 10 pkgs, including JTA
(rbergeron, 19:11:39)
* will likely end up with about 100pkgs (rbergeron, 19:11:52)
* mgoldmann was able to deploy his first web app on Fedora / JBoss AS7
:) (rbergeron, 19:12:57)
* also planning with carlo to run TCK test on the resulting RPM, so
that what is shipped is "certified" - ie: it is what it really
should be :) (rbergeron, 19:15:15)
* OpenStack (rbergeron, 19:15:31)
* OpenStack test day is "over" but instructions are still a nice way
to get started with openstack (rbergeron, 19:18:33)
* LINK:
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-test-day/2012-03-08/openstack_tes...
(rbergeron, 19:18:57)

19:19:23)
* LINK:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-03-08_OpenStack_Test_Day
(rbergeron, 19:20:48)

* won't be going live with mirror until at least 3/19 due to
migrations, OoO stuff (rbergeron, 19:26:16)

heavyweight on the FI storage backend, but necessary because
repodata/* files change content but not names frequently. better
solution welcome. (rbergeron, 19:26:44)
* robyn having keyboard sadness today (rbergeron, 19:26:54)
* OpenNebula (rbergeron, 19:27:42)

Launching a Fedora 16 EC2 Instance
by Juan Rodriguez
Hey there,
I'm new to Amazon EC2 / Cloud providers in general, but I tried to set up
using Fedora's F16 Images (Available here [1]) using ami-5f16d836. It
apparently passes all of Amazon's checks, however I can't ping the instance
once it's fully set up. I decided to check the System Log and noticed this:
Determining IP information for eth0.../etc/init.d/functions: line 58:
/dev/stderr: Permission denied /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 58:
/dev/stderr: Permission denied /etc/init.d/functions: line 58: /dev/stderr:
Permission denied /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 58: /dev/stderr:
Permission denied
Complete logs for both the 32 bit and 64bit images can be seen here:
32 bit: http://pastebin.com/DEcRaaDn
64 bit: http://pastebin.com/tvhqjJ1S
Anyone had better luck using Fedora's Amazon EC2 instances? Did I do
something wrong during setup?
Thanks.

Agreed that cloud-init and Firstboot won't work together.
Another thought is that we could modify the live CD image such that it
can better be used as a Virtual Machine. What we have is fairly close
to that solution already, so what it would need is:
1. An easy way to generate a Persistant store for the /var/ /home and
/tmp directories
2. An easy way to resize the ISO image to something large enough to
install/update RPMS
This is obviously a pretty big stretch, and I wouldn't expect it could
be a F17 task. It might be the wrong approach, but it would be worth at
least talking through it.
The EC2 images are pretty much "minimal" installs, right? I think that
they should continue to be separate from the Fedora appliance for
virtualization anyway. The appliance should be comparable to the Live
CD: Gnome Desktop and all.
