Open Stack

Hi all,

After some discussion in Tokyo by stakeholders in OpenStack High
Availability, I'm pleased to announce that from next Monday we're
starting a series of weekly meetings on IRC.  Details are here:

  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/HATeamMeeting
  http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#High_Availability_Meeting

The agenda for the first meeting is set and will focus on

  1. the pros and cons of the existing approaches to hypervisor HA
     which rely on automatic resurrection[0] of VMs, and

  2. how we might be able to converge on a best-of-breed solution.

All are welcome to join!

On a related note, even if you can't attend the meeting, you can still
use the new FreeNode IRC channel #openstack-ha for all HA-related
discussion.

Cheers,
Adam

[0] In the OpenStack community resurrection is commonly referred to
    as "evacuation", which is a slightly unfortunate misnomer.
