As before we're including outstanding problems as gitlab
issues - read them for more information!

CIP

        - build artifacts - we're still unable to retrieve these.
        We have manually installed later versions of chef and worked
        around issues with the validation.pem not being available but
        are still getting 404 errors.

        bson not installed error
           https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/3
        still being investigated.

LAVA
        LAVA2 tests now run, currently working around issues
        with a DeviceDictionary error
           https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/5

        Smoke test for QEMU created

* Virtual machine creation for the testing
  We've created 2 vagrant instances one for kernelci and the other for lava
  (lava is Debian based and kernelci is ubuntu based) work is in
  progress on merging these to make developer setup simpler and reduce
  the memory requirements.
      https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/7

* There's a github branch to allow the host to view the kernelci vm webserver
  https://github.com/RobertAJMarshall/kernelci-frontend-config/tree/external-http
  this will be merged with the gitlab repository when
      https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/3
  has been resolved.

* The DeviceDictionary error 
      https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/5
  is still outstanding

* Devices have been added to lava VM but are not yet running
      https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/9

* the lava gitlab and the vagrant instance now has been updated 
  with health check tests and extra documentation.
  
* The QEMU health check results in a KVM module not found failure
      https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing/issues/8

* Discussions in progress on adding a 'howto'
  The developers have a document enumerating the steps involved in
  getting the testing environment up and running, this document will
  be streamlined and published to the wiki. Meanwhile, we will add the
  WIP content to the repository so you can follow it.

* Minor additions to the wiki has been made, specially in the kernel
  maintenance page.

Hi,

this is the report from the activities that Codethink is driving on and 
or involved. This week is not that we worked more but that we completed

++ Other topics

has substituted him. Chris is also based in Manchester. He will be 
focused in the issues we have in the kernelci front and back-en related 
with DDBB.
** Thanks Robert for your effort in pushing the development further. 
Welcome Christos. Please introduce yourself to the audience (when you 
recover from that flu).

* Ben H. and Don Brown has now edit access to the public wiki. If you 
have a Linux Foundation ID, please review if you have them too. If not, 
please let us know through this list. #11
