Work on 2014-05-31
This is a new experiment borrowed from Loic Dachary where I plan to keep notes on any open source or otherwise public work that I do. I may write notes that solve a problem for others, so it’s worth doing this out in the open.
With that said, writing that I contemplate and edit more rigorously will still appear on my blog.
Topics for Upstream University mentoring meeting:

understand how Solum does devstack testing in Openstack’s CI system and apply that to Designate
- Work in progress
- Learned about Devstack Gate: http://ci.openstack.org/devstack-gate.html
- Found a broken link (devstack_launch_slave.pp) to correct (in openstack-infra/config)
- Found a high level diagram at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/InfraTeam
- Drawing diagrams of the processes of building devstack gate nodes (see Nodepool project)
- Following the “Simulating Devstack Gate Tests” instructions to test Devstack+Designate tests locally before submitting change requests.
create a virtual machine definition that will allow users to try Designate
- Work in progress
- Once I started learning more about the Devstack Gate and Nodepool projects, I wondered if I missed some existing tools that I should take advantage of.
openstack-infra
Much of the work I have planned for myself in the Designate project will overlap with the openstack-infra team. To get familiar with their work, I have:
- Signed up for openstack-infra mailing list
- Put InfraTeamMeeting on my calendar
