Setting up a Xen x86 community call

Setting up a Xen x86 community call

[Lars Kurth]

Hi all, 
(sorry for the extensive distribution list - I went through MAINTAINERS and people who may have an interest)

I would like to start organizing a recurring x86 community call to discuss and sync-up on upcoming features for Xen on x86. This call would mirror and follow a similar structure to the ARM call (see http://xen.markmail.org/thread/xqdxvqcjpf2y5ftu for the last one)

I expect that the call will contain

a) Coordination and Planning 
Coordinating who does what, what needs attention, what is blocked, etc. 
I would prepare a list of non-merged patch series of a certain size (e.g. more than 5 patches) and attach to the invite
If anything is missed, I would expect that these are sent to me before the meeting

b) Design and architecture related discussions: in particular for bigger, more complex items, ... 
Although all of this could be done by email, in reality, we are all human and many people find it easier to collaborate
and communicate by talking to each other, rather than by email. This is not a must, but an option to highlight issues

c) Demos, Sharing of Experiences, Sometimes discussion of specific issues/bugs/problems/...
This is something which happens frequently on the ARM call and seems to work very well

I would suggest to start with a 1 hour monthly meeting: possibly every 2nd Tue or Thu each month (depends on timing). I know that people are spread across different timezones (from China to the US), so I would like to gather thoughts before choosing a time. We may have to have alternating time-slots every other month: but this is not ideal for some.

To do this, please
* Raise your hands on whether you or your org would want to participate
* Provide your timezone
* Provide a UTC time range when you can attend 

Your sincerely,
Lars

Thanks, I think this has worked well for the ARM community, so we
should give it a try on x86.

I'll work with any time slot, since most attendees are in other timezones.  Here's a color coded time chart for US central, UK, Europe, China:

Re: Setting up a Xen x86 community call

[Ji, John]

Hi, Lars and all, 
This is really great and absolutely needed! We are very glad to see this can happen. 

From Intel, Peng Chao will attend all sessions and features owners (Zhang Haozhong, Huang Kai, Feng Boqun, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yu, Kang Luwei, Zhong Yang) will attend according to topics. We are also discussing to have more people from Intel to attend. 

Time: 6:00AM~12:00AM China time is all ok for us. 

Best Regards

John Ji

Subject: Setting up a Xen x86 community call

Hi all,
(sorry for the extensive distribution list - I went through MAINTAINERS and people who may have an interest)

I would like to start organizing a recurring x86 community call to discuss and sync-up on upcoming features for Xen on x86. This call would mirror and follow a similar structure to the ARM call (see http://xen.markmail.org/thread/xqdxvqcjpf2y5ftu for the last one)

I expect that the call will contain

a) Coordination and Planning
Coordinating who does what, what needs attention, what is blocked, etc. 
I would prepare a list of non-merged patch series of a certain size (e.g. more than 5 patches) and attach to the invite If anything is missed, I would expect that these are sent to me before the meeting

b) Design and architecture related discussions: in particular for bigger, more complex items, ... 
Although all of this could be done by email, in reality, we are all human and many people find it easier to collaborate and communicate by talking to each other, rather than by email. This is not a must, but an option to highlight issues

c) Demos, Sharing of Experiences, Sometimes discussion of specific issues/bugs/problems/...
This is something which happens frequently on the ARM call and seems to work very well

I would suggest to start with a 1 hour monthly meeting: possibly every 2nd Tue or Thu each month (depends on timing). I know that people are spread across different timezones (from China to the US), so I would like to gather thoughts before choosing a time. We may have to have alternating time-slots every other month: but this is not ideal for some.

To do this, please
* Raise your hands on whether you or your org would want to participate
* Provide your timezone
* Provide a UTC time range when you can attend 

Your sincerely,
Lars

Tuesday except 16:00-17:00/15:00-16:00 UTC works for me.
Thursday does not at all.

Re: Setting up a Xen x86 community call

[Lars Kurth]

Hi all,

thanks for the feedback. It seems to me that the following times satisfy all requirements. Those with minor issues are on the TO list and called out below.

Winter
======
15:00 - 16:00 UTC
07:00 - 08:00 Pacific
09:00 - 10:00 Austin
10:00 - 11:00 New York
15:00 - 16:00 London
16:00 - 17:00 Berlin
23:00 - 24:00 Beijing

Summer
======
14:00 - 15:00 UTC
07:00 - 08:00 Pacific
09:00 - 10:00 Austin
10:00 - 11:00 New York
15:00 - 16:00 London
16:00 - 17:00 Berlin
22:00 - 23:00 Beijing

See https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/events.html for summer time changes specific countries

The information is also collated in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JRTy6u6ZfwfN0wRnW79bJtKvMhMDTcQIutpLz4GdzFo/edit?usp=sharing (the second tab shows a snippet of the world clock)

Jan Beulich: 
Only Wed up to 17:00 

Daniel Kiper: 
Can't do this slot on Tuesday, and not Thursday
But I am assuming Wed may work. 
If not, I hope that someone else from Oracle can attend instead.

Christopher Clark: 
Not the preferred, but a tolerable slot. 
So I am assuming this would be OK

My proposal would be to hold the meeting at least for the next 3 months the 2nd Wednesday at 15:00 - 16:00 GMT/BST, starting from Wed, March 14th

For exact timezones, see https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2018&month=3&day=14&hour=15&min=0&sec=0&p1=224&p2=24&p3=179&p4=136&p5=37&p6=33

Note that on that day, the US will already be in daylight savings, while Europe is not.

Given that for the 4.11 release, the following dates hold
* Last posting date: March 16th, 2018
* Hard code freeze: March 30th, 2018

I will go ahead and book the meeting and send out a meeting invite with people indicating interest being added to the CC list.

Best Regards
Lars

Yep, I am OK with that.
