Hi, Since we have more and more users with access to wikimedia labs, I think it would be great to make online conference on irc to discuss, especially with new users and people interested in getting access there how labs work, and what all is needed to do. I would be interested in getting a feedback on what is needed to set up right now. There is a bot project which is slowly moving forward so I would appreciate some feedback from people who run bots so that we know what all needs to get implemented before opening "production" for this part of labs. Also it would be great to discuss about stuff we are about to set up, write some new proposals and comment on what we have done. Including: * Shared SQL server * Monitoring for services - ganglia and nagios * Bots cluster * Deployment cluster So, if there are people interested in labs, please let me know and we could make a conference in #wikimedia-labs on freenode - I propose it to happen this week, on thursday (friday is a day when most of people are leaving office or heading somewhere far from computers :)) or saturday. (But I don't know if Ryan and other important people are available for talk on saturday). Preferably in 18:00 GMT or 22:00 GMT (I guess 22:00 is a best time for people who live either in US or Europe). Let me know what you think or if you would prefer a better date

So, I voted for Saturday at 2pm, but I'm thinking it's unlikely I'll be able to make it this Saturday. We'll likely need to wait till after I get back from FOSDEM, which is some time after Feb 11th. On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 7:05 AM, Petr Bena <benapetr(a)gmail.com> wrote:

ok, so let's postpone it? since you are crucial for this. I will be available this saturday for all who already voted and wanted to discuss rather some basics and let's make a big one later? On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 8:20 PM, Ryan Lane <rlane32(a)gmail.com> wrote:

For some reason, someone created a bunch of entries under my name. The first entry is me; the rest are not. On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Petr Bena <benapetr(a)gmail.com> wrote:

OK, so it looks from doodle that most of people voted for saturday 6 pm. Because Ryan doesn't have time this Saturday, I think we should make a big one later, but probably in similar time :). However I will be surely available there this saturday for all people who already voted for that date and need any kind of help or introduction to labs, also it would be great to have a feedback on what all isn't clear so that I can start working on some documentation. So, in case you have a basic questions related to labs, you are welcome to step in this Saturday and ask, I will try to help you, the big meeting with Ryan will be probably later, the exact date will be announced in this mail, and we will discuss the proposals and technical stuff, especially sql and gluster.

Could anyone prepare a summary and/or log of the session and publish somewhere? It would be much appreciated because I would not be able to be there, while I am interested in it very much. Best, Yusuke On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 6:50 PM, Petr Bena <benapetr(a)gmail.com> wrote:
