Mar 04 19:07:54 <Ackdar>    ok then
Mar 04 19:08:27 <daMaestro>    It would be good if the testing code gave me a python API that I could do a simple test against, such as have it return True or False after testing. EOF

Mar 04 19:20:52 <Corwyn>    Notice from the Chair:
Mar 04 19:21:19 <Corwyn>    I've moved the Document server configs to Pri 2, but we still need to get that done at some point
Mar 04 19:21:28 *    Corwyn opens the floor to open discussion
Mar 04 19:22:34 <daMaestro>    Well.. i think something we should look at doing rather then taring up the vmware drive:
Mar 04 19:22:34 <Bob-Laptop>    Sorry little guy put his teeth through his lip
Mar 04 19:22:49 <Corwyn>    we were wondering
Mar 04 19:22:53 <daMaestro>    Do LVM snapshots.
Mar 04 19:23:19 <daMaestro>    I'm not sure what bob has at this time (per LVM configuration,) but we can do online LVM snapshots
Mar 04 19:23:34 <daMaestro>    this might be better then taking the VM down and doing a tar.
Mar 04 19:23:56 <Bob-Laptop>    daMaestro: either way I think I need to rebuild server3
Mar 04 19:24:18 <Corwyn>    if it's something that will do the job, I don't see why we can't, do we have the ability to do it?
Mar 04 19:24:31 <daMaestro>    Yes, we can do LVM snapshotting
Mar 04 19:24:40 <Corwyn>    how long does it take?
Mar 04 19:25:00 <daMaestro>    Not sure, but we can do it online.
Mar 04 19:25:10 <Corwyn>    +1
Mar 04 19:25:50 <daMaestro>    Also, my recent pungi builds have been failing.
Mar 04 19:26:09 <daMaestro>    Jesse has said it might be the kernel has gone too far for the stock anaconda.
Mar 04 19:26:32 <Corwyn>    is he looking into it?
Mar 04 19:26:47 <daMaestro>    No, FC6 pungi does not get updates.
Mar 04 19:27:03 <Corwyn>    any options?
Mar 04 19:27:09 <daMaestro>    This would also be an issue with anaconda, assuming this is really the issue.
Mar 04 19:27:34 <daMaestro>    Well, find out if this is the issue (too new of a kernel) and do a Spin of the latest kernel that will work.
Mar 04 19:28:06 <Corwyn>    Is there any further business tonight?
Mar 04 19:28:14 <daMaestro>    Blogs.
Mar 04 19:28:25 <Corwyn>    go on
Mar 04 19:28:34 <daMaestro>    We have blogging setup. It is syndicated to http://planet.fedoraproject.org/
Mar 04 19:29:04 <daMaestro>    You need special access to be able to publish blogs. So, either ask for a blog to be published, or ask for "Blogger" access.
Mar 04 19:29:10 <daMaestro>    http://fedoraunity.org/blogs
Mar 04 19:29:26 <Corwyn>    Are we going to make this public?
Mar 04 19:29:36 <daMaestro>    Even 'Managers' need 'Blogger' access.
Mar 04 19:29:47 <daMaestro>    Well.. public as in if you have an account you can write a blog.
Mar 04 19:29:58 <daMaestro>    But it would need to be published before it is "Public"
Mar 04 19:30:03 <VileGent>    so how do get blogger access
Mar 04 19:30:09 *    fedorared (n=john@fedora/fedorared) has joined #fedora-unity
Mar 04 19:30:11 *    fedorared has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
Mar 04 19:30:11 <daMaestro>    which requires 'Blogger' access.
Mar 04 19:30:22 <daMaestro>    VileGent, you file an RFA on the server tracker.
Mar 04 19:30:25 <Corwyn>    daMaestro: please write up a notice about this for news and for a posting on how to gain access

Mar 04 19:30:39 <daMaestro>    Ok.
