<br>
I'm glad to see the interest and I also support the idea
of using the IRC channel that is already set up for
further communication. Should we aim for a
meeting/discussion there around the end of this week or
during next week?<br>
<br>
@Nikolay, Sylvain: Thanks for support and bringing
together a list of action items as very first steps.<br>
<br>
@Pierre: You wrote that you are using Blazar. Are you
using it as is with an older version of OpenStack or you
have a modified version of the project/code?<br>

I'm actually really surprised to see<span

quite fine how to use Blazar/Climate either using the CLI or
by Horizon.<br>
<br>
The latter is actually not provided within the git tree, so
I guess Chameleon added it downstream. That's fine, maybe
something we could upstream if Pierre and his team are okay
?<br>

<div>We are using a modified version of Blazar (based on the
latest master branch commit) with OpenStack Juno (RDO
packaging).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only really mandatory patch that we had to develop was
for blazar-nova due to functions moving from oslo-incubator to
oslo.i18n: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/ChameleonCloud/blazar-nova/commit/346627320e87c8e067db6e842935d243c9640e6e">https://github.com/ChameleonCloud/blazar-nova/commit/346627320e87c8e067db6e842935d243c9640e6e</a></div>
<div>On top of this we developed a number of patches, most of them
to fix bugs that we discovered in Blazar, with a few to get
specific features or behavior required for Chameleon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We also used the code developed by Pablo (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-June/038506.html">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-June/038506.html</a>)
to provide an Horizon dashboard for creating and managing
leases.</div>
<div>We even developed a Gantt chart of physical node
reservations, but this code reads data straight from the SQL
database rather than using a new Blazar API, so it cannot be
contributed as is.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have always wanted to contribute back our improvements to
Blazar and we are looking forward to it now that there is
renewed interest from the community.</div>
<div>All our OpenStack code should already be available on GitHub
at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

That's great work, thanks for the explanations Pierre. <br>
Since you're looking like the Blazar maintainer while Winter was
coming, I'd certainly consider your commitment as enough trustable
for being backported to the master branch.<br>
<br>
Nikolay, you told that the Blazar gate is broken, right ? I take
that as action #0 to fix, and then we can try to backport Pierre's
changes into the master branch.<br>
<br>
Now, let's switch over IRC, I don't want to pollute the ML for those
technical details.<br>
<br>
Anyone who still wants to contribute to Blazar can join
#openstack-blazar and yell, for sure.<br>
