glibc: Testing LF BBB instance for patch review meetings.

glibc: Testing LF BBB instance for patch review meetings.

[Carlos O'Donell via Libc-alpha]

Community,

Thanks to Linux Foundation IT team and GTI (Toolchain Infrastructure for
the GNU Toolchain) we have started testing the LF BBB instance as a part
of our FOSS solutions that support glibc and the other GNU Toolchain
components.

On Monday December 12th I would like to use the BBB instance to hold the
glibc patch review meetings.

I have updated the Patch Review meeting notes here:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PatchworkReviewMeetings

The relevant URL will be this:
~~~
Video/Audio: https://bbb.linuxfoundation.org/room/adm-alk-1uu-7fu
~~~

If you could, please create an account for the BBB instance ahead of
time so you can login to the patch review meeting as normal.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Carlos.

Why are these emails about infrastructure seeming so far inbetween and
then blam there is something new?
Seems like there is a lot of stuff being done in closed doors without
any real feedback except for the select few.
That is so wrong for open source communities.

Thanks,
Andrew

Please follow the GTI TAC discussions in the open here:
https://lore.kernel.org/gti-tac/

The LF IT team setup a BBB instance for their own use and offered it to us to use too:
https://lore.kernel.org/gti-tac/7827d4e3-5bad-0436-07ac-058782b01d25@gotplt.org/T/#t

We want FOSS solution to host GTI TAC meetings (even before we can decide what to do
with the GNU Toolchain infrastructure) to support collaboration and attendance.

That the LF IT setup a BBB server for general use is great news.

The subject is about testing this solution for the community. Join in? Please feel
free to attend the meeting. See if the solution works.

Please give the GTI TAC feedback.

If the glibc community finds the LF BBB instance useful then I'm going to write a
proposal to the GTI TAC that we support this for glibc patch review meetings.

The only way we're going to know if its useful is if we test it out :-)

This is the first time this has been published to any of the GTI
mailing lists. Unlike the sourceware related things which have pushed
out emails and archives to folks.
This is a bad look for the GTI folks really.

Why not stay with sourceware? I still have not seen any reason to move
away from sourceware except the Linux foundation is there.
