Hi everyone,

Here's a link to the video of our design meeting:

and the notes:

http://crowbar.sync.in/community-design-meeting-2014-03-05

This week:
* Basic Updates - what we're up to.
* Features and impact of move to Rails 4
* Docker Container management through a possible Container Jig
* New Crowbar Attribs access via API
* Building Discovery/Sledgehammer
* Hinting for different workload Hardware/VM/Container types


*Container vs VM vs Hardware Support:*
*Repurposing Hinting:*
When you create a node, it doesn't get any roles bound by default
Then you can allocate an admin address will bind the network admin roles to
it.
Then add an API call to add default roles.  Gives you a chance to change
their configuration before the node gets marked alived and commited then
kicks off discovery
Goal is to remove the magic in the framework, and just expose the hooks to
drive the API.


*Multi-OS support -* is in.  once attrib API was in place, then provisioner
OS attribute could be set.  Then you can change the role template, default
target globally, deployment role... etc.  then it kickstarts or preseeds.

*Changing the hostname of the node:*
Usability: we can already add CNAMEs (crowbar aliases) in DNS, but there
are a lot of points in the framework where post-allocation hostname
changing, and it has not been audited.
