<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Attendees ==<br />
Ian Campbell<br />
Boris Ostrovsky<br />
Sherry Hurwitz<br />
Jason Douglas<br />
James Bulpin<br />
Jan Beulich<br />
Donald Dugger<br />
Kurt Hackel<br />
<br />
== Review outstanding ACTION items ==<br />
<br />
* Simon: Discuss IRQ's and MSIs with MSIs and get Andy Cooper talking to Jun on xen-devel<br />
: James to prod Andy<br />
<br />
* Lars: Start cleaning up Xen 4.2 feature list such that it is in good shape when we go into Xen 4.2 RC's<br />
: (OPEN) Some work has been done here<br />
<br />
* UEFI<br />
: Kurt: The person who is going to be working on this has been finishing up some kexec work which has delayed UEFI stuff<br />
: One of the main things will be secure boot<br />
<br />
* Hybrid<br />
: Mukesh's Linux tree is in good shape.<br />
: Last case (hybrid dom0 + PVHVM guest) is now working.<br />
: Xen patch is on the way -- posting before XenSummit.<br />
<br />
== Topics Discussed ==<br />
<br />
=== 4.0.x and 4.1.x releases ===<br />
<br />
* Jan: Latest RCs have been sitting for a couple of weeks<br />
<br />
ACTION: Ian to ping Keir and provoke either new RCs or actual releases<br />
<br />
=== Time based releases ===<br />
<br />
* Sherry: Would allow alignment with hardware releases and planning<br />
* James: Also helps with XenServer planning<br />
* Jan: There are pro and cons, e.g. releasing just because 6 months has passed even though there may be nothing of particular interest in the tree<br />
* James: A short list of "headline features" would help<br />
*Jan: Need to consider if 6 months is the correct cadence, previously we have aimed for 9 months. Need to consider the overhead of the release process.<br />
<br />
To be discussed further at development day meeting<br />
<br />
=== Calls with no agenda ===<br />
<br />
What should we do if there is no particular agenda on a given month<br />
<br />
* James: The development meeting in two weeks has cannibalised from the agenda this month, unlike to be this quiet every month<br />
* Jan: Reviewing the ACTIONS from last time is valuable in its own right<br />
* Don: Even "not done" is useful since it helps motivate people.<br />
<br />
Conclusion: Better to have a very short call than to cancel.</div>Lars.kurth
