Minutes - VMIC project meeting
09/07/2012 - 11:00 CEST
============================================================
Presences:
Belmiro, Ulrich, Jinny.

Following the first point of the agenda Belmiro and Jinny described the state of the project. Upon notification of system, 3 basic functions need to be implemented:
- adding external trusted images to glance for internal use at a site
- removing/revoking such  images
- updating such images

The update operations consists of replacing an old images by a new one while keeping the bulk of it's meta data. Adding images is implemented, the remove functionality is implemented but requires a couple of bug fixes, and the update function still has to be done.

For deep view of all the work done a work log is available at:

The code is available at:
https://gitgw.cern.ch/gitweb/?p=vmic.git;a=summary;js=1


Considering the second point of the agenda all the participants discussed what should be the development focus until the release date (10-08-2012). Ulrich suggested in order to have a better project management establish a "period of implementation" for each task.
It was agreed that the development effort should be done at:
- "delete"/"update" actions form HEPIX image list into Glance;
   -> "delete"; (2 days to implement)
   -> "update"; (3 days to implement)
--------- (end until 13-07-2012)

- Authentication in Glance using keystone; (3 days to implement)
   -> As a prerequisite, Belmiro needs to setup Keystone and integrate it with Glance.
--------- (end until 18-07-2012)

- Run the VMIC tool as a cron job and verify integrity with HEPIX image list; (2 days to implement)
--------- (end until 25-07-2012)

- Refactor/comment code; (3 days to implement)
--------- (end until 30-07-2012)

- Documentation; (2 days to implement)
--------- (end until 01-08-2012)

- RPM package; (2 days to implement)
   -> For RPM packaging some help is required from Belmiro and/or Ulrich.
--------- (end until 03-08-2012)

- Release notes document; (2 days to implement)
--------- (end until 07-08-2012)

Considering the initial objectives of the project and the time left for the release it was agreed that the following items will not be included in the release:
- Add/remove images from Glance to HEPIX tools;
- VMIC CLI for HEPIX tools;
- Glance bit-torrent integration;

After the project release Jinny will present the work to the HEPIX community.

Before end of the meeting it was discussed the extension of Jinny's collaboration at CERN until the end of the year. It was suggested continue the work in the items that weren't implemented or participate in other projects. Jinny will suggest work topics for the extension that meets her and ASGC interests. These topics should be iterated and discussed during the week also considering CERN interests.
In the next VMIC meeting scheduled at 16-07-2012 a formal plan of work for Jinny will be established based in the previous discussions.
