Thanks to everyone for coming. Please read logs - we've made some
progress on the kernel situation, and are starting to think about
future needs in terms of a to-do list as well as documentation. Any
questions - please pipe up on the mailing list!

Cheers,

    (rbergeron, 21:06:00)
  * jforbes on track to submit for F14 feature list  (rbergeron,
    21:07:14)
  * got news from amazon -  Namely
    ec2-public-images/pv-grub-hd00-V1.01-x86_64.gz  (rbergeron,
    21:07:27)
  * EC2 pvgrub images are now public and accessible  (rbergeron,
    21:07:38)
  * now we don't need to submit AKI and ARIs anymore, we use the kernel
    inside the image.  (rbergeron, 21:08:45)
  * ACTION: jforbes to ping gholms about eucatools <--> kernel <-->
    pvgrub image  (rbergeron, 21:15:04)
  * jeevan_ullas sent mail to the list with some packaging information
    for eucalyptus, other possible packages / dependencies we might want
    to start thinking about / looking for packagers for.  (rbergeron,
    21:16:14)
  * ACTION: jeevan_ullas to make a wiki page of to-dos for eucalyptus
    (rbergeron, 21:17:29)

* kernel status  (rbergeron, 21:17:59)
  * We are still waiting for the kernel update to push.  (rbergeron,
    21:19:05)
  * trying to get an eta.  (rbergeron, 21:19:11)
  * LINK: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FeatureList   (rbergeron,

* open floor  (rbergeron, 21:29:35)

* To Do / Schedule List  (rbergeron, 21:29:57)
  * so after the kernel is pushed, we need the actual images,  which is
    the ks file that huff is working on  (rbergeron, 21:31:20)
  * can start working on that now with local xen testing - the kernel
    update makes our kernel work on older RHEL releases, but we can test
    and tune the ks file on rhel 5.3 or newer hosts  (rbergeron,
    21:31:50)
  * Testing without ec2 requires a xen host  (rbergeron, 21:33:49)
  * once you have a xen host, you can simply create an image with
    appliance-tools using the kickstart file from huff (it is in a
    public repository, need to find location)  (rbergeron, 21:34:18)
  * boot the image, make sure it works, make sure critical packages are
    there, report back if anything else is needed or something doesn't
    work  (rbergeron, 21:34:32)
  * report back if things work tooo  (rbergeron, 21:34:43)
  * ACTION: rbergeron to put this testing info into the wiki
