From purpleidea at gmail.com Wed Nov 14 02:49:22 2018 From: purpleidea at gmail.com (James) Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2018 21:49:22 -0500 Subject: [mgmt] announce: Upcoming Events and NEWS Message-ID: <442dd12f1ee3388a062178b2678d5d06f3a0f11b.camel@gmail.com> Dear hackers! Sorry that things have been quiet in git master lately. Recently with my departure from RH [1] and some other big life changes, I've been a bit behind on my hacking. Progress is still on-going, and I'll be picking up the pace! NEWS I've been working on the `import` and modules code, which is turning out to be rather complex because it involves deciding on whether to lex and parse each file individually, as a concatenated group, or via a hybrid approach. There's some early code in a feature branch, but the bulk is still in my personal repo as a WIP. Got to get it all working before I split it into clean patches =D One bit of unfortunate news is that there's a mostly harmless bug in git master which causes the tests to sometimes fail. This was introduced with the engine re-write. It's rarely triggered in real- life, and so it shouldn't block anyone, but I'm deferring the fix until I finish some of this import code. Patches are welcome in the meantime! EVENTS There are two GREAT upcoming events: 1) 02/Feb/2018 - FOSDEM 2019, Brussels, Belgium https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2018q4/002744.html There will be a Config Management Devroom at this years FOSDEM. Please submit an mgmt related talk today! I'll help you prepare your submission if you'd like some help, support, or just a review. There are also a number of other devrooms which you might consider submitting to in case your topic is more relevant there. (Eg: a mgmt+nspawn talk in the container devroom.) The CFP closes soon! Please submit today! 5) 4-6/Feb/2019 - CfgMgmtCamp.eu, Gent, Belgium http://cfgmgmtcamp.eu/ Right after FOSDEM, take a ~30min train ride to Gent and stay for the premier Config Management related event in the world. I hope to have a talk accepted (new things), and I hope you do too! The CFP closes soon! Please submit today. If you'd like me to review a d raft of your proposal, please send it to me and I'll be happy to help. On the last day of the conference, there is a "fringe" day where we'll be around to talk about mgmt, help you write patches, and discuss the future! There will be a dedicated room for this, so please join us! Happy Hacking!
