XenAPI Meetings

Meeting to discuss the status of Blueprints and bugs relating to the XenAPI layer in #openstack-meeting, every Wednesday at 1500 UTC.

(It used to be every Wednesday at 1700 UTC, but this proved too late for the UK folks at Citrix after daylight savings kicked in.)

Who are we?

The XenAPI team is an informal subgroup of nova, but not exclusively nova, with the mission:

  • "To ensure OpenStack continues to have first class support for XCP and XenServer"


This involves looking at the following things with a XenAPI related view:

  • Tracking/reviewing XenAPI related blueprints
  • Triaging XenAPI related bugs
  • Tracking parity with other hypervisors
  • Improving documentation
  • Improving testing (and eventually gating)
  • Meet weekly to track progress
  • Discuss the Roadmap at a Design Summit session


Main companies involved:

  • Rackspace
  • Citrix


Current meeting chair:

  • Bob Ball (Citrix, BobBall on IRC)
