== Agenda ==

 * Current Cluster Stack:
   - RHCS (3.0.12)
     + dlm_controld.pcmk/gfs_controld.pcmk
   - Pacemaker/corosync/heartbeat (1.0.10):
     + RA's handle above.

 * Discuss the adoption of the new software versions as there have been several upstream changes, and different distributions are adopting different components.
   * RHCS (3.1):
     - RHCS (dlm, cman, etc), fence-agents, resource-agents, gfs2-utils
     - gfs-pcmk, dlm-pcmk dropped.
   * Pacemaker 1.1:
     - Pcmk + Corosync + cman (to use dlm_controld/gfs_controld)
   * resource-agents
     - Linux-HA and RHCS RA's merged in a single source.
   * MIR fence-agents
     - Cobbler uses it.

 * DRBD 8.3.X/DRBD 8.4.X
 * Nova Components HA (following discussion from the OpenStack Design Summit)
 * Continue with the work on the Ubuntu Cluster Stack to complete previously defined work items.
 * Obtain feature requests and discuss the customization of the cluster stack for Ubuntu.
 * Cloud HA - Pacemaker Cloud Policy Engine:

== Session Notes ==

== Actions ==
 * Move forward with OCFS2 as the supported clustered FS
 * Keep RHCS 3.0 for DLM's only.
    - dlm_controld.pcmk/gfs_controld.pcmk
    - keep shipping gfs2-tools (and make sure it's ok)
    - upgrade to latest 3.0.x that contains .pcmk (3.0.17)
 * Package fence-agents/resource-agents
 * Upgrade pacemaker to 1.1
 * Investigate and resolve ARM related issues within OCFS2, test
 * Move from cluster-agents to resouce-agents
 * Link up with openstack and upstream to compile a list of HA requirements
 * DRBD 8.4 if is shipped in mainline kernel Oneiric ships.
 * ***Documentation***
 * Sort out PPAs (ubuntu-ha-maintainers becomes main PPA, all other go away)
