[Andres Rodriguez]

Blueprint changed by Andres Rodriguez:

Whiteboard changed:
  = Agenda ==
  
-  * Feature request/review
+  * Feature request/review
   * Client/Server approach to deploy PowerNap datacenter wide.
-    * Server ARP monitoring for automatic wakeup.
+    * Server ARP monitoring for automatic wakeup.
   * Integration with NUT
   * Server Pivot mode for Orchestra
   * Desktop/Server profiles
   * Integration with other projects, such as OpenStack, Landscape etc.
   * White/Black lists of known good/bad hardware
  
  Previous work items:
  
  [andreserl] Add auto-publishing support for PowerNap clients via avahi: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Add component listener to Powerwaked for auto-registration (Server): POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Provide powerwaked to check status of registered machines in a Client/Server fashion: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Provide powernapd with a method to listen messages from powerwaked: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Change polling monitoring system to event based system: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Look into integration of PowerNap/PowerWaked with NUT: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Investigate/add additional pm-powersave tweaks from ARM: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Define sample profiles i.e. For Web Servers, File Servers, Laptops etc: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Perhaps involve someone on the Desktop Team to improve powernap for Laptops: POSTPONED
  [andreserl] Add pre-start to upstart job to determine whether machine is virtual or physical (facter virtual): POSTPONED

+ 
+ == Agenda ==
+ 
+  * Client/Server approach to deploy PowerNap datacenter wide.
+    * Server ARP monitoring for automatic wakeup.
+    * Server Pivot mode for Orchestra
+    * OpenStack + Orchestra testing/integration
+      * might be implemented differently than UEC/Eucalyptus/PowerNap, but we need something similar at least
+  * Integration with NUT
+   * powerwake mode to talk to nut to power systems on
+   * powernap "remote" mode to talk to nut to power remote systems down
+  * Desktop/Server profiles
+   * currently have one set of profiles used by all systems
+   * 
+  * New tricks to reduce power consumption
+  * White/Black lists of known good/bad hardware
+  * Feature request/review
+  
+ 
+ == Outcome ==
+ 
+ OpenStack Power Scheduler Integration.
+  * RabbitMQ?
+      * Some random people seem to consider moving away from rabbitMQ for another AMQP implementation (to be confirmed with actual working code)
+      http://osdir.com/ml/openstack-cloud-computing/2011-10/msg00522.html
+      
+ Gnome power (or UPower?) daemon integration/interaction
+  * add a configuration option to enable GPD to use the powernap state to determine machine's activity or non-activity
+  * test modern 3.2 kernel (against 2.6.38), verify kernel doing the right thing on idle CPUs, and hopefully purge PowerNap's cpu offline script    
+  * upstart/dbus/inotify integration as asynchronous monitoring systems
+    * Move one monitor to asynchronous mode (prove it can be done, show how to do it)
+      * ProcessMonitor - netlink for process creation/deletion
