I shouldn't have a problem making the meeting. I was listening in on one the other day just to see how they go.
I'm not too familiar with the way you all work and your ticketing system yet. That'll all before more clear as I get more exposure, if there's need for me in the group. Looks like quite a bit of backlog, I'd probably spend my first few weeks or more attempting to clean up what I can, hopefully not all the cases have gone cold! Looks like there's some things I could run with, someone would require a short ramp up though, nothing major.
Cool I think there is a ticket about how we might leverage the cloud
although I think we're limited on resources (people and machines). I'm
relatively new to the group but I do know there is still a lively
discussion bouncing around the group.
I'm down with the idea of cloud computing, specifically platform as a service and infrastructure as a service. I admit I don't know a whole lot else about the actual applications running 'cloud services' (condor, cloudforms, etc) but I got a lot of use out of the Virtualization part of the Cloud Power Training at the last Red Hat summit. It was good times. I think for certain uses in certain places the cloud could be a great tool. I'm currently working on a platform as a service offering for the test lab at the office. It would be great to just throw down some template images and let customers spin up instances to test their software without needing to go through all the hoops we currently do.
Sweet! I know our development lead (abadger1999) and the development
group could always use some help. I am working on a few tickets right
now so maybe we could team up and start documenting the code?
I am no Coding Samurai. I'm at best a citizen soldier right now, but I love to dig through code and make stuff work like I need/want it too. I'm sadly not pro status on any language, but I can do needful when needful is needed. I'll gladly do some documentation, let me know.
