TopicsDescriptioncomments
State of Apache CloudStack 

Bring more people to the contribution community

huge codebase, though to get up to speed with the code.

Small change can impact lot of place in the code.

move to swagger API ??

Database schema versioning need to be improved

As a new contributor?how doc is to start?

More test coverage would help new user confidence about their contribution

need a easy devcloud env for devellopper

simulator lack in capability.

Basic how to with usecase with a hello world api call so a new user know how to use the API and setup a test environment quickly

how to communicate to the community about intention of doing a contribution ?

CI 

Should setup a team inside the community to work on the CI system architecture and deployment

Accelerate + bubble is a good CI start

 

track PR with JIRA ticket, but automate ticket close with PR so it's not boring for contributor and Release manager.

JIRA is not unanimity

 

Marvin 

Marvin guideline on how to contribute tests.

how to improve or get rid of marvin ?

right doc to follow: Marvin - Testing with Python

sample/template/skelethon test case with marvin page/howto

Parallele tests not often possible with Marvin:

code 

error codes need improvement

Unit test hello world

avoid null pointer

Log level

API documentation of parameters is sometime confusing with required and combinaisons

Need documentation about using the API for more than one api call action such as creating a new zone.

Priority Features

List new features required in CloudStack and define their priorities

Create JIRA issues for them?

**** IPv6: support for all network deployment type

*** Swagger for the API (it's Apache 2 license)

Automation tool such as teraform does not work well with cloudstack because they throw a lot of API call to CloudStack.

LTS releasesDo we need to backport fixes to previous version ? which one?

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@cloudstack.apache.org:lte=1M:%5BDISCUSS%5D%20release

we need to automated release management => Daan

Automate release notes

VPC/VR evolutionstrongswan, redundancy,... 
Download.cloud.comShort term and Long term plan for this 
DocumentationState of the documentation

move to a single documentation tree

document a documentation structure -> Dag

not going to change the framework for now, keep sphynx

orient documentation to solve one question per page

search must provide answers.
