AB Votes/Funding for Windows PV Drivers subproject

= Motion =
I have a proposal from Citrix to create a new Xen Project subproject to host the Xen Windows PV Drivers. Matt Wilson from AWS volunteered to sponsor the proposal. 
According to http://xenproject.org/governance.html I need to ask for Advisory Board approval, if there is a financial impact before I put the proposal up for a community vote.
In this case there is a minor financial impact:
* A build VM hosted with sufficient storage at a cloud provider: we can either use AWS credits, the existing comp’ed Rackspace account we use for most of the Xen project website, or something similar from Google or Verizon
* A license for MS Visual Studio (approx. $1000) for the build environment
 As for the license MS Visual Studio, I propose to use the budget from item "2014.1e: Face-2-face meetings” where we have an unused position of $3000 in Q1 (and a total of $6000 for the year) as we had no face-2-face board meetings planned in Q1 and Q2.
If you agree, please vote “+1” by May 14th. 
If you disagree, please vote “-1 with explanation”
To abstain, please “vote 0”
The vote was carried (7 votes were needed)
== Results ==
* Rackspace: +1 
* Citrix: +1
* Oracle: +1
* CA: +1
* Intel: +1
* AWS: +1
* Bromium: +1

AB Votes/Outreach Program For Women Round 7

= Background =
I wanted to call a formal e-mail vote to sponsor one intern from the Gnome Program Women Outreach for the Xen Project. Please refer to Konrad’s thread called “$5750 for Gnome Program Women Outreach for December internship (or for the summer one)” for details. 
 
To summarize the discussion
# The Xen project Can sponsor a intern to work on the Xen Project
# The intern would need to be mentored in line with the rules of the Gnome Program Women Outreach
# The intern should be mentored by a member company. Assuming members do not step up, I will failing that by another community member
# The cost to sponsor a intern is $5,750 + 15% administrative Linux Foundation fee
# We have enough funds (see below)
 
The project’s balance is 206,250$ - 30,937.50$ Linux Foundation G&A fee, which gives us an available total for 2013 of 175,312.50$. In the 2013 budget, we allocated $94K. As an aside, it is not likely that we will be able to spend the $94K this year. 
= Motion =
 Add an additional to the 2013 budget
* ITEM: “Winter 2013/14 Gnome Program Women Outreach”
* COST: $5,750
* SUPPORTING OBJECTIVE: #3 “Supporting the Xen Project Developer Community” 
 
The vote would need to be closed by October 15th and we need 7+ votes. To vote, please reply to this thread with “+1 and your company name”. Konrad already indicated that Oracle would vote in favour.
== Results ==
Votes in favour
* Bromium
* CA
* Calxeda

* If you agree, please reply with “+1 for 2 interns” 
* If you would like us to fund 3 instead of 2 interns at a cost of “$6250 x 3” then reply with “+1 for 3 interns”
* If you disagree, vote “-1, keep funding at 1 intern”
The vote was carried (7 votes were needed)
== Results ==
Votes in favour for 3 interns
* CA
* Citrix
* Oracle

AB Votes/Post XSA 108 PR - Clarification

== RESOLUTION: Post XSA 108 PR / Clarification ==
I am somewhat concerned about the media impact of XSA 108 and was wondering, whether the project needs to make a statement post embargo (Oct 1st). I am particularly concerned that phrases such as “Xen-Alypse” will stick and linger, which would have a negative impact on us all.
The question is whether we need to release some sort of formal communication. Assuming the answer is yes, we ought to identify vendors that support it and are willing to provide a view or supporting statement. 
Please do not disclose any details of XSA 108, as not all Advisory Board members are part of the Pre-Disclosure list. A simple vote on whether we need communication and an indication whether you would be willing to provide a quote/view/supporting statement is all that is needed.
== Voting Results ==
* Citrix : +1
* CA : +1
* Rackspace : +1
* Cavium : +1
* Intel : +1

Copied from budget:
 2014.7e T-Shirts and swag for Xen Project at OSS events $9,000
We spent $1500 this year on 2014.7e and are likely to only need another $3000 this year. This means that $4500 would remain unspent, which we could use to create the video and have some contingency,

Archive/FreeBSD 64-bit HVM on XCP

== Instructions ==
In order to be able to run Freebsd 9.0-RELEASE or newer on XCP you should have a
XENHVM kernel and the Xentools installed from the FreeBSD xentools port (/usr/ports/sysutils/xen-tools). 
So, for summarizing :
* Build and install HVM kernel.
* Build and install Xentools from ports (/usr/ports/sysutils/xen-tools).
* Build and install Bash shell from ports (/usr/ports/shells/bash).
* untar and place the proper location (as could be deduced) in the tar output the FreeBSD contributed XenserverTools. 
So :
x freebsd-xenservertools/
x freebsd-xenservertools/etc/
x freebsd-xenservertools/procfalse/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/local/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/escribe-ip-if.sh
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/escribe-meminfo.sh
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/xe-daemon
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/xe-linux-distribution
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/local/etc/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/local/etc/rc.d/
x freebsd-xenservertools/usr/local/etc/rc.d/xe-daemon.sh
x freebsd-xenservertools/etc/freebsd-version
* Create /procfalse
* do a ‘uname -r > /etc/freebsd-version’ from you’re shell as root.
* after that, just place files in proper places as seen before.
Finally... after booting the machine (or doing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xe-daemon.sh start), you would be
able to enjoy of the Xen Cloud virtualization possibilities and so, you could see on right clicking on
the machine in XenCenter :
that you’re able for example to suspend or migrate de FreeBSD VM.
Available downloads : 
* XenServerTools FreeBSD for XCP 1.1.0 MD5:e9638a4d4693d5c411ddcb3e6bd75982

== Thanks To ==
I wanted to say I’m very thankful to my company SareNET who has allowed me to examine how
could I run FreeBSD in XCP and very thankful too to Dave Scott from Citrix because of the initial
ideas for getting this working.

Archive/Installing the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) Command Line Interface (CLI) (XE)

XCP does not come with the 'xm' CLI you may have used for managing traditional Xen. Instead, XCP is managed via it's built-in API ("xapi").
XCP comes with several CLI management clients built into dom0 (the thin hypervisor host), including:
 * xe (/usr/bin/xe) which uses the XAPI and can be run from any network host
 * xl (/opt/xensource/bin/xl)
It may be desirable to run the 'xe' tool from another Linux box you use for management. To setup the CLI tools (xe), the best way I've found is described below.
The steps essentially boil down to:
 1. Download the XCP ISO. http://xen.org/products/downloads.html
 2. Mount the XCP install CD.
 3. Look in the packages.main/ directory. There will be an rpm called xapi-xe-[version].i686.rpm. 
 4. Install that on your system based on the example instructions below
Example commands I ran
cd ~
wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/50674/XCP-1.1-base-50674.iso
mount -o loop XCP-1.1-base-50674.iso /mnt
cd /mnt/packages.main
cp xapi-xe-0.2-unknown.i686.rpm ~
cd ~
Followed by...
* Ubuntu (apt) installation instructions
apt-get install stunnel4
alien --scripts xapi-xe-0.2-unknown.i686.rpm
dpkg -i ./xapi-xe_0.2-1_i386.deb
* RedHat/CentOS (rpm) installation instructions
yum install stunnel
rpm -ivh xapi-xe-0.2-unknown.i686.rpm
xe is now installed.

Archive/Repacking the XCP ISO

= Overview =
In order to speed up testing, it is often easy to build an individual component and repackage that into the install images.
== install.img ==
The install.img contains the necessary file for the host installer to boot and install XenServer/XCP. This is a gzip compressed archive which can be unpacked and repacked as follows:
 # Unpack
 mkdir dump
 sudo bash -c 'cd dump; zcat ../install.img | cpio -idu'
 
 # Repack
 sudo bach -c 'cd dump; find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9c > ../install.img'
== main.iso ==
The main.iso/main-xcp.iso are the images used to install XenServer/XCP via the CD drive. This contains the install.img in addition to all the XenServer/XCP files. As this is an ISO file it can just be mounted to view the files. However, to make changes this must be copied to become read/write.
 # Unpack
 mkdir mnt
 sudo mount -o loop main.iso mnt
 sudo cp -r mnt mnt-rw
 
 # Repack
 echo "/boot 1000" > main.list
 sudo bash -c 'cd mnt-rw; \
 mkisofs -joliet -joliet-long -r \
 -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
 -sort ../main.list \

 -o ../main.iso .'
== dom0fs.tar.bz ==
 # Unpack

 sudo bash -c 'cd dump; tar xf ../dom0fs.tar.bz'
 
 # Repack
 sudo bash -c 'tar --directory dump -cjf dom0fs.tar.bz .'

Archive/Reporting Bugs against XCP

== How to Report a Bug Against XCP ==
The primary location for reporting bugs against XCP and XCP-XAPI packages in Linux distros and associated bundled tools is by posting to the xen-api mailing list (list info). However please read the following before posting.
If you are having a problem with XCP you should consider initially posting your issue to the xen-api mailing list (list info), in order to rule out common configuration issues and user errors.
Before posting a bug report you are strongly encouraged to read Simon Tatham's excellent "How to Report Bugs Effectively". Please do not report XCP bugs to Simon Tatham!
Before posting you should check your favourite search engine, xen markmail or the list archives for xen-api and xen-users to see if your issue has been reported (and perhaps solved) already.
== List Etiquette ==
xen-xapi, like many open-source mailing lists, keeps to a set of conventions established in the '80s and '90s. They may seem a bit archaic these days, but breaking them is considered bad form and may cause people to skip over your bug report. There are a number of guides on the web, but some particular points that seem to show up on xen-devel are:
* Please post in plain text (i.e. not HTML), word-wrapped to somewhere around 72 characters.
* Please don't top-post.
* Please start a new thread for a new bug (don't just reply to a random email from the list).
* Please don't email bugs directly to xen developers. Keep the conversation on the list where other people (and search engines) can see it.
== Bug Report Contents ==
The following contains suggestions of the sort of information, log files and command output you should consider providing as part of your bug report. If you are unsure then it is normally better to err on the side of providing too much information.
=== General ===
First and foremost please provide a clear description of the issue you are seeing. What exactly happened and what did you expect. Try to be as clear as you can, properly explaining your issue is key to us being able to help. See "How to Report Bugs Effectively" (which you have already read, right?) for examples of the sorts of bug reports which are not likely to garner a response from developers, as well as advice on how to produce a good bug report.
Also please always include the precise version of XCP you are running, i.e. a reference to the particular mercurial tree and a changeset number or the name of the distribution which provided the packages you are using along with the version of those packages.
Where possible, please include precise steps to reproduce the issue. An issue which can be reproduced by a developer is an order of magnitude more likely to get fixed quickly.
Be sure to also include any relevant configuration files.
