*Agenda*
\
\* Release schedule\
\* shall dev-tools require root credentials?\
\* giulivo’s proposal for the user guide to split it into three
sections: 1. install deltacloud-core ; 2. install imagefactory ; 3.
install conductor via dev-tools using rbenv\
**\* this is what I tested and was rather successfull with:
[http://etherpad-aeolusproject.rhcloud.com/p/aeolus-upstream-deployment-notes](http://etherpad-aeolusproject.rhcloud.com/p/aeolus-upstream-deployment-notes)\
**\* or should we pursue dev-tools installing other components . sloranz
is reputed to have made some progress on from-source factory install.\
\* do we want to require a real RDBMS for a real release?

6 December 2012 / \#aeolus-meeting on freenode at 16:00 CET
-----------------------------------------------------------

*Agenda*

-   shall we bundle templates with next release?
-   can we mandate all Aeolus project’s *must* send an email to
    aeolus-devel every time they do a new release?
    -   Some projects do already (i.e Oz), some don’t (ie Bundler,
        ImageFactory).
    -   Without release info somewhere, it’s very hard to tell which
        version of a project to use.

-   We should assign some people to the unclaimed action items from last
    weeks agenda.
-   SOP draft needs documentation completed around release procedures
    (the work, in progress, of this cabal)

    -   Justin is collecting the release info and ETA of next release
        for each Aeolus project here

-   Justin invited Crag to next meeting. Crag will attend.
-   Justin is in early stage discussion with Hideki Yamane (debian-cloud
    guy) about the versions of Aeolus components being packaged. Has
    recommended using the packages from the soon-to-be-released version
    of Aeolus, but hasn’t heard back yet (will prob take a few days).
-   eggmaster confirmed with sloranz that imagefactory from source is in
    progress and expected functional/delivered early Jan
-   eggmaster emailed link to draft of SOP to cabal members privately
    for first round of review,
