  * Fatih clarifies that this Thursday, we only need to do build.
    (ulik, 14:10:17)
  * This is working fine, so octopus should be fine  (ulik, 14:10:44)
  * we will verify also with BGS after this meeting.  (ulik, 14:11:05)
  * can you add me to commiter for octuopus I missed that earlier
    (rprakash, 14:11:14)
  * Fuel was already running, other installers still missing  (ulik,
    14:11:41)
  * Foreman, OpenSteak and others, the build scripts are still missing.
    (ulik, 14:12:20)
  * Build resources are needed for different installers  (fdegir,
    14:13:35)
  * Information to connect lab resources to OPNFV LF Jenkins  (fdegir,
    14:14:28)
  * LINK: https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/octopus  (fdegir, 14:14:31)
  * look for How to Connect Servers from Labs to OPNFV Jenkin  (fdegir,
    14:14:40)
  * and contact aricg  (fdegir, 14:15:10)

* Triggering tests in different labs  (ulik, 14:16:25)
  * Fatih: update on triggering tests from labs  (bryan_att, 14:17:14)
  * ... some problems with internet reources being debugged for Intel
    lab  (bryan_att, 14:17:36)
  * ... also issues from other labs  (bryan_att, 14:17:58)
  * Proposed solution might not work for all the labs as it happened
    with Intel lab  (fdegir, 14:18:58)
  * uli: the more labs we try the better - all Pharos page labs should
    try to connect  (bryan_att, 14:19:21)
  * if this is the case for more labs, we need to get firewall openings
    so OPNFV Jenkins master can reach the resources in different labs
    (fdegir, 14:19:34)
  * Fatih: when we get LF resources we won't have this problem
    (bryan_att, 14:20:14)
  * ... it will help for R1 at least one running environment
    (bryan_att, 14:20:40)
  * (?): who is working on the LF hardware?  (bryan_att, 14:20:54)
  * fatih: Constantin from LF is working on it  (bryan_att, 14:21:13)
  * aric: they are waiting on a switch; still need some topo info. but
    check with constantin  (bryan_att, 14:21:40)
  * uli: who will provide the info?  (bryan_att, 14:21:58)
  * peter: the suggestion was to standardize the lab setup topo
    (bryan_att, 14:23:03)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/pharos/pharos_specification  (rprakash,
    14:23:22)
  * ... last week - currently at the Pharos page the ref platform is
    described - public nets are missing; there are three interfaces
    (bryan_att, 14:23:45)
  * ... plus lights-out net makes four  (bryan_att, 14:23:59)
  * ... another BGS meeting after this one will continue the discussion
    (bryan_att, 14:24:22)
  * fatih: we need BGS and LF to address the setup so we have something
    for next week  (bryan_att, 14:24:42)
  * peter: we expect it to be completed soon - tests require a ref
    platform agreement  (bryan_att, 14:25:29)

* hardware usage  (ulik, 14:26:00)
  * uli:  need more input from BGS  (bryan_att, 14:26:18)
  * fatih: for fuel we can use docker images but need input for the
    others e.g. bare metal or ISOs  (bryan_att, 14:26:41)
  * ?: foreman team has been working on bare metal  (bryan_att,
    14:27:38)
  * ?: it would be more agile to focus on virtual environments
    (bryan_att, 14:28:03)
  * uli: we need to revisit this requirement on bare metal vs virtual
    (bryan_att, 14:28:36)
  * fatih: for R1 bare metal is required at least to verify its working
    (bryan_att, 14:29:02)
  * some of the stack inputs from BGS to Octopus (CI) like RDO, Juju and
    other tracks may bnot be ISO but some artifacts like tar files
    (rprakash, 14:29:18)
  * ... for the long term we can't run full CI loops for each commit and
    test on bare metal, but later we can do so using a virtual
    environment  (bryan_att, 14:30:02)
  * ... for bare metal will have to schedule based upon the installers
    being verified  (bryan_att, 14:30:49)
  * uli: we will revisit for R2  (bryan_att, 14:31:26)

* document repository  (ulik, 14:31:57)
  * aric: the desired end result is PDFs - IMO not the right way, e.g.
    space reqs. I recommend using a markup lang and generate PDFs as an
    artifact  (bryan_att, 14:33:06)
  * Bryan: +1  (bryan_att, 14:33:10)
  * fatih: some people said they don't know git etc  (bryan_att,
    14:33:58)
  * bryan: we need to set an expectation that people will use the tools
    typical for open soruce  (bryan_att, 14:34:46)
  * uli: this must be addressed in the documentation group  (bryan_att,
    14:35:00)
  * fatih: how do we handle this, e.g. go to TSC?  (bryan_att, 14:35:17)
  * uli: until the project is created, we can do it there; in the
    meantime in the TSC  (bryan_att, 14:35:37)
  * bryan: can Octopus make a recommendation as an agreement
    (bryan_att, 14:36:26)
  * ... the documentation project should assess and support the
    consensus of projects rather than dictate  (bryan_att, 14:37:16)
  * ?: don't want to see word documents - rather latex  (bryan_att,
    14:37:46)
  * bryan: everyone who has an opinion should voice it on the TSC and
    list  (bryan_att, 14:39:17)
  * fatih: can we vote on this now, here?  (bryan_att, 14:39:39)
  * For Octopus documentation: R1 use markdown, R2 latex (or something
    else)  (fdegir, 14:40:04)
  * ul: it would be good for Octopus to provide an input to the TSC
    (bryan_att, 14:41:32)
  * to have a project voice to text tool format ?  (rprakash, 14:41:39)
  * ... anyone speaking against?  (bryan_att, 14:41:42)
  * david: agree storing a binary artifact is not good - text is better
    (bryan_att, 14:42:10)
  * AGREED: to give message to tsc for a text based document format
    (ulik, 14:42:26)
  * uli: we can thus use git for this  (bryan_att, 14:42:54)
  * frank: will we use markdown for R1?  (bryan_att, 14:43:28)
  * frank: all should be able to use markdown  (bryan_att, 14:43:56)
  * For Octopus, we will use markdown for R1  (fdegir, 14:44:24)

* artifact repository  (ulik, 14:45:06)
  * bala: we can talk to TSC about whether markdown or latex should be
    used  (bryan_att, 14:45:07)
  * LINK: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/  (aricg, 14:45:32)
  * fatih: aric helped setup google cloud storage for artifacts
    (bryan_att, 14:45:37)
  * ... we still have some fine tuning to do  (bryan_att, 14:46:03)
  * LINK: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/  (ulik, 14:46:17)
  * bryan: can we access control this as needed?  (bryan_att, 14:46:29)
  * aric: we can mark artifacts as private etc  (bryan_att, 14:47:16)
  * ... we will create a different bucked with specific access controls
    (bryan_att, 14:47:38)
  * fatih: metadata handling is not good enough with google storage; we
    need to address this  (bryan_att, 14:48:57)
  * uli: if we have a R2 patch ISO needing to be deployed; this will be
    in google storage; can jenkins auto-store these?  (bryan_att,
    14:49:31)
  * fatiih: upload/download works fine, but the problem is with metadata
    (bryan_att, 14:49:55)
  * uli: the deploy script needs to find the right artifact  (bryan_att,
    14:50:09)
  * fatih: we might upload our own metadata file and link it to the
    artifact, then extract from the storage when we want to use the
    artifact  (bryan_att, 14:51:08)
  * ... we can put text in both places  (bryan_att, 14:51:42)
  * ... anyone can join the discussion on #opnfv-octopus  (bryan_att,
    14:52:17)
