Agenda and Notes:
[shengnuo] MDS Enablement
[omisan] Call for reviewers
[jed] +1, should we add it to the agenda template to make it recurring?
[iholder101] +1 - action item for myself - send a mail in kubevirt-dev encouraging people to self-nominate.
[jed] How? Open PR against https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/blob/main/OWNERS_ALIASES which adds your github handle under a reviewers list, either the general one or a sig-specific one
Important: once you’re a reviewer, you must review PRs assigned to you
[dhiller] there’s also at least an encouragement mechanism in place for k8s community, will try to enable this for us - but calling out every community meeting can’t hurt
Open Floor:
[iholder101] Quickly raise attention to the VEP agent: https://github.com/iholder101/vep-police-agent/
Now able to edit our project board!
[msivak] Redfish progress - VEPs and testing status
[dhiller] can’t speak up since I’m on train, just wanted to mention to s390x folks that the flake failing test on the e2e lane around s390x seems to have been resolved - [cfillekes] TYVVM for helping David & me out with putting together the prow jobs to automate the tests of CDI on s390x external cluster!
[awallace] Discussion on https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/16893 (custom QEMU/libvirt rpm)
[Siddu Vamsikrishna] Kubevirt bazel build broken for s390x native bazel after migrating to rules_oci https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17113
[nirdothan] Discuss OncePerOrdered testing label roadmap initiated a year ago in https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/13786. A new PR is asking to use it https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/16889.
can’t talk but I still believe the removal of test isolation is the main concern I have
[ritankarsaha] Wanted to speak a bit of open PRs and enquire about and Proposal format
[aimran] RSVPing to kubevirt calendar events? (At least I don’t have perms)
Had to drop

I have in the past contributed to multiple cncf orgs. I am interested in the “adopting k8s api server in kubevirt” gsoc project. I wanted to ask if this is the right place to ask queries for the same or should I go to any specific SIG or WG meeting?
16:16:09 From Jed Lejosne : @aburden did we do the first agenda item?
16:18:04 From Jed Lejosne : Reacted to "Hi everyone. I am Ar..." with 👋

16:20:49 From ritankarsaha : Replying to "Also almost down wit..."

16:24:52 From Felix : All time favorite issue no one wants to work on :)
16:25:33 From Alexander Wels (RH) : @Felix if I wasn't doing 20 other things already...
16:26:04 From Adi Aloni : I wouldn't say *everyone* wants to drop it ;)
16:26:18 From Felix : https://github.com/manuelnaranjo

16:26:41 From ritankarsaha : Reacted to "https://groups.googl..." with ❤️
16:26:48 From Harshit Gupta : @Vladik Romanovsky The VEP Tracking dashboard seems to assume that all PRs that have mentioned a VEP are code-PRs for that VEP. This is true even for PRs that mention a VEP as a related effort, not as a part of it.
16:27:05 From Felix : Adi: You're welcome to address the open issues with it :P
16:27:26 From Itamar Holder (iholder101) : FYI that right after this meeting we'll be having the sig-compute meeting.
If you didn't have time to talk about your subject and it is related to sig-compute - feel free to try your chances to raise it over there!
See you there in a few minutes :)
16:29:07 From Jed Lejosne : @aburden last week we cut this meeting short, but the sig-compute agenda was pretty empty and the meeting lasted ~10 minutes. Maybe we can push this meeting a bit longer today?

16:34:50 From Harshit Gupta : Reacted to "I haven't looked dee..." with ❤️
16:35:15 From Jed Lejosne : Many topics in sig-compute now of course... 😅 Dropping now in favor of it, see you there!
