Gluster users - May 2012 - GlusterFest! For GlusterFS 3.3 Beta 4

Greetings,

We are planning to have one more beta release tomorrow. If all goes as planned,
this will be the release candidate. In conjunction with the beta, I thought we
should have a 24-hour GlusterFest, starting tomorrow at 8pm  -
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFest

'What's a GlusterFest?' you may be asking. Well, it's all of the
below:


- Testing the software. Install the new beta (when it's released tomorrow)
and put it through its paces. We will put some basic testing procedures on the
GlusterFest page here -
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFest

   - Feel free to create your own testing procedures and link to it from the
GlusterFest page


- Finding bugs. See the current list of bugs targeted for this release:
http://bit.ly/beta4bugs


- Fixing bugs. If you're the kind of person who wants to submit patches, see
our development workflow doc:
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Development_Work_Flow

   - and then get to know Gerritt: http://review.gluster.com/


The GlusterFest page will be updated with some basic testing procedures
tomorrow, and GlusterFest will officially begin at 8pm PDT May 17/03:00 UTC May
18 (coinciding with the end of our meetup tomorrow), and ending at 8pm PDT May
18/03:00 UTC May 19.


If you need assistance, see #gluster on Freenode for "real-time"
questions, gluster-users and community.gluster.org for general usage questions,
and gluster-devel for anything related to building, patching, and bug-fixing.


To keep up with GlusterFest activity, I'll be sending updates from the
@glusterorg account on Twitter, and I'm sure there will be traffic on the
mailing lists, as well.


Happy testing and bug-hunting! 

-JM

An update:

Kaleb was kind enough to port his HekaFS testing page for Fedora to GlusterFS.
If you're looking for a series of things to test, see this URL:
   http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/3.3.0_Beta_4_Tests


By tonight, I'll have a handy form for reporting your results. We are at
T-6:30 hours and counting until GlusterFest begins in earnest. For all updates
related to GlusterFest, see this page:
   http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFest


Please do post any series of tests that you would like to run. In particular,
we're looking to test some of the new features of GlusterFS 3.3:

- Object storage
- HDFS compatibility library
- Granular locking
- More proactive self-heal


Happy hacking,
JM
