mini GanetiCon 2017

[Ansgar Jazdzewski]

Hi *,

i had a chat with sascha and the outcome is that we like to have a
mini ganeticon manly to prepare a full size GanetiCon in 2018.

First of all a big Sorry from my side i was trying to set a ganeticon
up in 2017 but i did not find the time to do so, mainly because the
lag of a mising place in Berlin.

To make things easy to plan for me i like to invite all how are able
to manage a trip to Leipzig (Germany) in the beginning o December to
stop by (i just try to get a room in our Office)

i hope for some feedback ;-)

Cheers,
Ansgar

Hi,

that's a great idea and I will definitely try to attend. Hopefully we will have more luck finding a suiting location next year.

Hi Ansgar, great initiative ! Maybe we could set up a poll to pick a
date, based on your availabilities ? I'm unfortunately away traveling
until the 12th of December :(

Depending on the number of people, maybe Copenhagen in the spring
could be a possibility ? There are some possibilities here.

[Federico Pareschi]

I'll be happy to participate. I'm travelling around Christmas time so that's obviously a no-go (which I assume is the same for most folks as it's holiday time).

Also I will most likely attend FOSDEM this year (like every year). If all else fails we could always have a get-together there and even find a spare room for us most likely.

Hi Ansgar,

thanks for taking the initiative! I like to attend in December and to share
my hopefully interesting 2¢, which are:

* ganeti on SLES
* an OS-Interface based on libguestfs
* a trip to LXC and back to KVM
* using sharedfile (NFS) for 5 years now, but planning to migrate to DRBD
* using blockdev (FC)
* partiality finished solutions/ideas like:
- hook for online disk grow
- very simple web console based on novnc integrated inside the ganeti-
cluster (bound to the master-node)

Besides exchanging experiences and ideas, this meetings are a good chance to
increase the awareness of ganeti.

Thanks, Sascha.

[Daniel Howard]

Could we tack on a Zoom meeting? :)

I'm also considering attending. I have to check my schedule etc
tomorrow, so I'll post a follow-up.

I could do a small presentation on the status of Ganeti in Debian and
how we are using Ganeti at Skroutz, although not much has changed since
the last GanetiCon I attended :)

Regards,
Apollon

[Bernd Naumann]

Sounds great. I would pre-schedule you half an hour, if you would like to extent notice me.

I would be interested in the status of ganeti in debian, and in your use-case too. I don't know if any of the attendees attend the last miniCon, so a repeat/refresh would not harm at all.

Bernd

[Benjamin Redling]

Hello Ansgar,

I would like to confirm that I'm able to participate in miniGentiCon.
-- and depending on the amount of pizza and the taylor's mood I'm a L/XL
"male", I'm not offended by XL ;)

Regards,
Benjamin

Argh, initially wrote I could, but migration planned at work that means I
can't make it :(

[Federico Pareschi]

Already booked the trip, so I'll be there :) 

T-shirt size is an M, male.

Really huge thanks for looking after all this.

[Apollon Oikonomopoulos]

Already booked the trip, as well. As I said elsewhere, I'll prepare a
small presentation on the status of Ganeti in Debian and things I would
like to see upstreamed.

T-shirt size L, male.

Looking forward to it :)

[Federico Pareschi]

Hey all! 

We're getting close to the date, just two more days. 

Do we have a list of actual planned talks? A time slot for unconference time/discussion for the future of Ganeti?

I'll be leaving for Leipzig tomorrow and arrive in the late afternoon/early evening, I'm looking forward to meeting you all on Friday!

Just as a confirmation for everybody who might have missed it:

Location is:

Spreadshirt (sprd.net AG) 
Gießerstraße 27 
04229 Leipzig 
Germany 

https://www.google.de/maps/place/Spreadshirt/@51.3262883,12.3260783,17z 

And we will start at 10am. Is this still correct Ansgar?

Cheers,

Morg.

My train got cancelled due to "technical damage", whatever that means.
I'll arrive in ~ 20 minutes at the central station, and will arrive at
the location around 10:15.

See you,
Georg
