Cloud Foundry Developer Hangout

[Mark Rushakoff]

Hi all,

We're thinking about having a Cloud Foundry developer hangout (probably using Hangouts on Air), where we have some of the core committers on Cloud Foundry answer questions from the community.  These would be questions about the direction of the codebase, our development process, etc., and explicitly NOT technical support questions.

Would anyone from the community be interested in something like this?  Do you have any particular questions you'd like us to answer in a hangout format?

Please reply to this thread so we can gauge interest before we commit to doing the hangout.

Thanks!
Mark

Hey Mark, this sounds great. Will this also be a forum for Pivotal PMs & developers to ask external CF developers about our development plans and our development processes, and how we can support each other? That is, a discussion between peer developers. Or is that a different hangout idea?

I think this is a great idea!  Though personally I think I'm less interested a dialog type of format and would be more interested in technical presentations about loose plans for future direction of the codebase of various components or development processes with time for questions and dialog at the end.

Sound like a great idea. Would really be interested in hearing about the plans for services (heard some rumors about a v3). Sharing stuff like that helps external development efforts to focus on the right things.

Great! Any solution for HA? I have deployed CF with BOSH but each component has one or two instances, how can I create a cluster for CC, DEA etc..

Me too - hopefully these can be setup at times that are not too painful for Europeans, or be cycled through different times for different geos in different months?

[Mark Rushakoff]

Okay, so let me recap the requests I've heard in this thread:

* Have an open discussion with community devs about how we can collaborate better

* Technical presentations on future directions of existing components or development processes, not a dialog (but leave time for questions)

The open discussion is definitely a lot less prep time on our end.  If we go that way, we'll definitely need both product managers and engineers present (getting PMs is slightly harder to schedule, but definitely doable).

Regarding Andy's point about time: our typical working hours would let us start as early as 9:30 AM PST / 4:30 PM UTC and we would have to finish as late as 6:00 PM PST / 1:00 AM UTC.  If we make this a regular thing, we could certainly alternate between local morning and afternoon hangouts to be fair to people in other time zones.

I'll run things by the team and report back here soon.  Thanks everyone for the feedback so far!

Sorry for late reply. I'd be interested in joining as well. I have interests in the
- tests aspects of CF and its buildpacks [1]: evolution of yeti, sharing of test results following migration to travis (BVT/yeti results used to be in ci.cloudfoundry.org), load && stress/recovery testing.
- General product direction w.r.t. to the private edition and ease of cloudbursting from private to public:
* access to enterprise network (similar to deprecated GAE SDC[2][3], WSO2 CloudGateway[4] or VPC SW VPN[5], spiped[6]), gorouter [8]
* ability to have private services being deployed privately on public endpoints (similar to market place but scoped/rescritec to my org) [7]

Thanks,

Guillaume.

I wanted to weigh in on this at the time, but... well, that might have spoiled the news this week;-)

I think that this is a great idea. Any updates on when we might begin holding regular hangouts? 

I'd think that an open discussion on how we might all better collaborate would be a great starting

conversation.
