Hi, Hi, I'm sending this email to gauge interest in a lxc development mini-conf this summer. Last year we had many lxc sessions at the Ubuntu Developer Conference. I'm all for doing that again, but while that gives us 'free' scheduling and logistics and a nice focus on realistic short-term development goals, I fear making it seem like ubuntu is trying to hijack lxc, and I don't want to make people on fedora, gentoo, etc to feel there is a barrier to their attending (*). Erkan suggested froscon (http://www.froscon.de/), in Germany Aug 20-21, as a potential site. If you're interested in attending and that location is ok with you, please let me know. If you're interested in attending and you'd like to suggest another location, please do so. The focus of the mini-conf is simple: improve LXC. That means the lxc toolsuite itself, kernel features exploitable by lxc, and system management and integration of lxc. Below is a start to a potential topic list. If we were to turn part of this into a hack-fest, we could probably pound out some of these right there on site. I think I like the idea of doing a half day to go over the topics list - write down who is interested in doing what and who may have tried/started some of these before, then spend a day (while intermingling with froscon) hacking, then a half-day wrapup. That's just a suggestion though, and perhaps too unorthodox of one. Potential topics: landscape of current (and likely/hopeful) lxc users and use-cases to help prioritize development container reboot and shutdown per-container dmesg user namespaces lxc LSM integration libvirt Serge never wrote the libvirt-lxc wrapper driver Sentiment is that libvirt should handle container auto-start and networking (Some might argue that) Discuss container startup debugging typical irc 'help' converstations suggest there is a problem management interface curses-based other udev and device namespaces to prevent udev storms on device hotplug checkpoint/restart thanks, -serge (*) There still will be LXC sessions at UDS this May, and I highly encourage developers and users of/on other distros to attend, if only, as I will be, online. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
