Collaboration Summit press release

Hi all,

time for the first round of work! ;-)

The Linux Foundation wishes to send out a press release about this new
working group at the time of Collab Summit. Which is all fairly short
notice, for which I apologize, but I only got the draft Friday evening
too.

This is the proposed draft - it's fairly late, and apparently, the
blandness is a bit by design, I'm told. ;-) So we don't get to do major
changes, but can do minor corrections & edits.

Please discuss them here; I'll aggregate & pass them on to their press
person Tuesday night.

Also, the press release is intended to be spiced up with company quote
section; always looks good, apparently. But clearly, we can't discuss
company statements here, so that section isn't included in this draft.

If your company is interested, please pass on a press contact to me! The
LF will then directly contact you.

Waaaah. I refuse to acknowledge that sentences over 6 lines are anything
but an impediment to communications. :) How about:

"Enterprises and governments today deploy Linux for mission-critical
workloads in the world's most sophisticated environments. The Working
Group will bring together projects and stakeholders to define the open
source HA software stack, and collaboratively prioritize features based
on input from developers, vendors, and customers."

The conspicuous absence of a comma between LINBIT and Novell seems to
imply that we have acquired your brand name, and we're not quite there
yet. :)

Either "is already being adopted" or "has been adopted." Or, even
better, kill passive voice and put "Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu
have already adopted the technology."

>> as well as the leading enterprise distributions.

Why not call them out?

I think we just got a slight variation of the default Data Center Linux
quote. ;-) I'll suggest your edits.

I think it may just have been a misplaced punctuation mark. ;-)

Probably "Has already been or is being adopted by", though it is even
more unwieldly. (Not all distributions have equal support and it's still
evolving too ...)

Marketing override, it seems. Didn't want to include member products;
which one do you name first? Etc.

Yeah, I got bullied into a half hour slot in a pre-existing track ~ two
weeks ago, but so late notice that they didn't get to setup a whole
track. (I swear there's nothing sinister about it, except that it was a
rush job.)

Lars

Please note this is a marketing message, not something you will be
called to write a regression test for.

I didn't assume anything sinister; I was merely suspecting a typo. If it
isn't one, fair enough.

Can we also add cman and luci here? They are still supported/active
components of the stack.

Without my RH hat on, I would suggest no for cman (based on the same
logic as heartbeat - dead technology we're trying to kill).
With my RH hat on, I'm on PTO and don't know what I think yet.

Ok right, let?s skip cman, but luci is far from being dead and should be
there.

Capital P for Pacemaker. And what is the Linux-HA project these days? We're not including heartbeat in that umbrella are we?

1. Linux-HA != Heartbeat. There is still cluster-glue. And until
Matahari is good enough to replace it, afaict lrmd is gonna hang around, no?

2. Killing Heartbeat isn't gonna happen until it is _evident to users_
(not developers) that Corosync is better. I've said this before and will
continue to do so until we have addressed this properly.

So, as far as I'm concerned, mentioning Linux-HA in there is just fine.

Florian

I never said it was. I only asked, elsewhere, for clarification that
this was other people's understanding too.

Of course

Read again what I wrote: "dead technology we're trying to kill" - key
word being "trying".
No one used past-tense.

> So, as far as I'm concerned, mentioning Linux-HA in there is just fine.

Assume this also relates to my other mail on the subject.
Like I said, I was just looking for clarification. My objection was
against the potential inclusion heartbeat (which doesn't seem to be on
the agenda) not "Linux-HA" in general.

Hi Andrew,

Linux-HA is still well known, so referencing it, even though its current
technical contributions to the stack are diminishing, seems beneficial.
Also, there's at least historical reasoning.

The domain names (and possibly trademark) are within the scope here,
though; they're probably still a pretty frequent entry point, and would
make a good landing page ...

And no, we're not including heartbeat, just like we don't include cman;
because we're trying to supersede these. corosync + Pacemaker to rule
them all. ;-)

Regards,
Lars
