[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/): it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/), and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/): it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

SPI or other organisations can take care of the GSoC mentors money. This would then simply become an other source of money for openSUSE activities. I have instantly many ideas, what this money could be used for in the openSUSE context and the board surely too. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org Am 03.05.11, 12:04 +0200 schrieb Vincent Untz:

Apologies for the top post. Is there a company/sponsor that if we sent them the money would agree to buy SSDs for the build farm? I can imagine $8000 in SSDs having a major impact on the build farm. And that in turn could draw in even more obs users/contributors. Greg On 5/3/11, Vincent Untz <vuntz@opensuse.org> wrote:

I can imagine $8000 in SSDs having a major impact on the build farm. And that in turn could draw in even more obs users/contributors.
Now that's a great idea! This would directly make an impact on build performance, which is really needed sometimes. +1 - mike (sorry for dup, greg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

+1 I don't know if there's issues around legality of purchasing hardware (without the foundation in place to handle funds) but infrastructure supporting the OBS seems like a sound investment to me. Improving build times would directly help the many projects using the OBS. The alternative of contributing to one of the major Free Software groups mentioned, who are actively supporting and producing quality work, would also be satisfactory. Anything that offers some small benefit in return, in the form of publicity or other (personnel bugsquashing for a day?) would be nice of course, but there needn't be strings attached.

I am so impressed by this idea that I have a crazy thought. Can we have a "Buy SSDs for OBS" fundraiser as part of the next openSUSE conference ? I am not sure if it is a common thing to collect money during a technical conference but I have seen such fundraisers work magic for some of the non-profit organizations in my part of the world. People who attend the conference can donate whatever they can. Assuming an attendance of about 500 people, 10 EUR from each will give a good number.

Sounds like a good idea, indeed. But without a foundation, who would collect the monies ? Where would they be deposited ? Can we even donate money to Attachmate ? Is that even feasible for their accounting, and legal requirements ? I wouldn't be so sure. I mean, it's one of the main reasons for having an openSUSE foundation (at least in terms of short term goals): we cannot give money to Novell (or Attachmate, for that matter) and request that money to be used exclusively to sponsor certain things in openSUSE. At least it wasn't an option with Novell. But hey, if someone wants to "pay me back" on the way more than 1000 EUR I've put on renting opensu.se over the past years... feel free ;D (yeah I know, I'm repeating myself) (Would be better if 4-5 more people would join in on sponsoring that, it's a monthly fee of 100€ and if we can divide that through a larger number of people... you get the point.) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

thank you for your time *and* money.. maybe this has been discussed to death and rejected, don't know, so: i think it fair enough that the community "pay you back" the money and ask: would it be possible for you to set up a PayPal account where folks could easily send "pay back" donations? [when you have enough, just close the account and say 'thank you'....no, i do not know how to keep your tax man's nose out of the deal--how about: before you close, figure in enough extra to make the tax man happy *and* repay your pocket.. if that is not feasible i'd like to make a donation anyway--please post your bank, account number and password ;-) or, something.. :-) going forward, would it be possible to set up a PayPal account that anyone could to contribute to, but only (say) opensu.se could take from (and thereby avoid the 'tax problem')...then, when the foundation is in place it can take over ownership of account and whatever excess funds might have accumulated therein.. just something to think about, -- dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

The only issue that I have with this is that OBS would probably not benefit from SSDs. We were having this discussion on a different oS ML. SSDs do really poorly at writing data to the disk. Its very likely that we wouldn't gain much from buying a bunch of SSDs. Keeping this suggestion in mind it might be good to ask adrain, coolo, darix, or someone in that area what they could really benefit from right now.

Yep, ram makes more sense then a SSD. SSD are either slow on write (what we do heavily) or they seem not to be reliable enough as far as I heard from other OBS installations tried to use them. memory will decrease the need of writing data to any disk at all and in best case (small packages) the build can happen entirely in memory. moin adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

There is a lot of variety in SSD quality. I hope your comments reflect lower end units, but I don't know. I definitely believe the write-speed of high-end units far exceeds the write speed of rotating disks. I personally haven't put a high-end SSD into a server yet, so I don't know about reliability. fyi: How does RAM for a high-end server compare price wise to high-end SSD for the same server? How about capacity limitations of the servers. Adding SSD, I expect to be easy. Adding 256GB or ram, I don't know about.

That is not true at all, SSDs scream at writing and reading. If you haven't tried this out for yourself with one of the "modern" SSDs, you are seriously missing out.

Now that is true, as it doesn't seem like we are I/O bound, but CPU bound for the most part.

Exactly, that's a *HUGE* trust problem. Someone with root or physical (hence root) access to a build server can inject malicious code into the resulting packages. So we can only use trusted hosts from trusted parties. For build.o.o, it's all hosted by Novell, but for Packman that issue is even more critical as we rely on a few people providing us build hardware. -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

In a thread from last fall, a user reported testing putting BUILD_ROOT on a ram disk. He reported a 2x speed improvement. Thus at least in that case, he was disk bound. I don't know on build.opensuse.org. Assuming it is disk bound, there are 8 VMs per server I think and 32 GB per BUILD_ROOT seems sufficient, so a single 256 GB SSD would provide BUILD_ROOT mounts for all of the VMs. Thus those big multi-processor servers would see a speed bump from a fairly modest cost increase. This basic conversation has taken place a couple times on one of the other lists, but it peters out at this point. No one has said if the actual build farm would benefit or not.

Actually, from our experience on the Packman OBS, it is extremely I/O bound. Except for a few mad packages that take ages to compile, setting up the build chroot is the major bottleneck. We resorted to using 2 worker processes at most on the build hosts because with more than that, the boxes are just idle waiting on I/O to happen (which eventually slows down the absolute build time). cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

Yes, true. Or sponsor a server for Packman ? Or sponsor opensu.se, a host a few of us have been paying many bucks for out of our own pocket since a few years ?

A couple of months ago, I have pointed out that I might be able to donate some (used) hardware - you will find such a message in the archive (although the context was different and not primarily about hardware). Here I have again asked what hardware specs you are looking for. In both cases, I haven't received *any* reply. We have therefore now given some servers to another project, people there were actually quite keen on getting the hardware and they were very thankful for the support. I find this a bit disappointing, to be honest. But if nobody on this mailing list responds to inquiries or questions, I can't do anything about it. The question I posed was simple enough. Okay, it would have been used hardware and no new hardware. But it would have been for free. We may have other opportunities in the future, but I don't know when this will be, it depends on the next round of server and cluster updates. Hardware specs in the current case was rack-mounted dual-CPU quad-core Intel Xeon 2.9GHz, 96GB RAM, 15k rpm RAID. Not sure whether this would have been suitable for your purpose but the servers have certainly served us well.

Sorry, I missed that one. For Packman, we would actually need bandwidth too, as we don't have any means to host them either, and an OBS worker host does use up quite some bandwith (they're in a VPN with our main instance). Hence in terms of sponsoring, for Packman, we would be primarily interested in monetary donations in order to rent a hosted server, including bandwidth.
In both cases, I haven't received *any* reply. We have therefore now given some servers to another project, people there were actually quite keen on getting the hardware and they were very thankful for the support.
Okay, sorry again, but good for the other project then :)

Yes, that's awesome, and thanks a lot for your offer.

A server with specs like that would be awesome indeed, and very well suited for being an OBS worker host. As I explained above, though, the issue is that we also need the bandwidth :\ But thanks for your kind offer nevertheless, and sorry for having missed out on it on the list. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

That's good to know but (at least speaking for our company) probably somewhat more difficult to get approved. However, in our line of business (geoscience services, oil & gas) there are usually lots of compute resources available and approaching such companies might be an idea if you need some hardware.

Yes, indeed ;) Anyway, in order to avoid similar situations in the future, I suggest you (or representatives of openSUSE projects looking for some hardware or other tools that could be sponsored) send an email to this very mailing list (and perhaps plant an article in some other prominent places like the newsletter/blog) to make everybody aware of the wish list or the need for additional hardware or infrastructure. Companies will only be able to help if you either approach them directly, or somebody working for a company is able to see your request somewhere. Replies to your request won't be guaranteed but I think that's okay when we consider it will only take you 5min to draft such a small email/article. It's very rare that a company approaches a project directly to inquire how the company could help, it's more likely that a company responds should there be a request for help.

Sure, could happen. An additional difficulty, though, is that OBS worker hosts need to be ultimately trusted, because anyone with root access can inject evil stuff into the packages, without anyone noticing (checksums don't help either, as it can be injected into the binary packages, before a checksum is computed on them). So not only do we need * servers * bandwidth but we also need them to be in the hands of people we know and trust. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

actually, I support this suggestion very much. The same money may make a bigger difference there then on build.o.o. And as far as some important packages can't be hosted on build.o.o, packman is definitive an important piece of openSUSE ecosystem.
Or sponsor opensu.se, a host a few of us have been paying many bucks for out of our own pocket since a few years ? (hosts the community wiki, will host webpin2, hosts planet.opensuse.org)

Most probably, yes. But the more I think of it... The current situation is as follows: * we have one server of our own, which has been kindly donated by Lejo's (Leo Eraly) employer, The Network Factory, a belgian company that sells consultancy and solutions based on Novell, SLE and openSUSE (and who said that the work of the Packman team did help them in quite a few offerings); * the bandwidth for that server is sponsored by Benesol, a belgian hosting company where I had a contact some years ago but not today any more, which means that the current sponsoring contract still holds, but I doubt I could request more servers to be hosted for free there in the future; * Marc Schiffbauer (who isn't even an openSUSE user ;)) sponsors most of the infrastructure (the website, the database server, the main FTP/rsync server) and finances part or most of that through the Google Ads on the Packman website (on a side note, huge kudos to Marc without whom none of this would exist). We also have a few more medium sized servers as build hosts, thanks to two people who might prefer to remain unknown (if not, please speak up, you deserve the kudos too :)) but whom we trust, including the bandwidth. So for what we do build and maintain right now, we're pretty fine, stuff builds quickly. But if the community also wants us to support more packages (than what we have in Essentials) for e.g. Factory, SLE11, Tumbleweed or Evergreen_*, then we would most probably need a bit more hardware. That being said, the major limiting factor right now is *CONTRIBUTORS*. As in "people". Detlef (Reichelt) and I are doing ~90% of the work and there are quite a lot of really nasty packages in there (the gstreamer stack just to name one of them). We're not alone, there are a few more warriors on the team, but we're all at the maximum capacity of what our free time permits (and way beyond actually, at the very least for Detlef and I). Right now, we have 714 (OBS) packages to maintain, and we haven't even migrated everything from our old repository. Tthe 11.4 repository now amounts to 5.6 GB, although that includes 32bit + 64bit, as well as debug and source packages + the repository metadata). So, if (preferrably at least somewhat experienced) packagers want to join the effort and help us, please please join the club. A few have done so already, but are maintaining only a few packages, which means we need a lot more people aboard. We're using an OBS instance, which means that if you're already used to working with build.opensuse.org, it's exactly the same thing.
Or sponsor opensu.se, a host a few of us have been paying many bucks for out of our own pocket since a few years ? (hosts the community wiki, will host webpin2, hosts planet.opensuse.org)
Hm, is there any reason why can't move webpin2 and planet.opensuse.org to some SUSE.com system ? I mean would that help you financial wise ?
The reason for webpin2 to be hosted there (once it's finished) is that it will also index packages from Packman. And as the German law regarding linking to that sort of stuff is still a bit unclear..... well, you know the story. Not sure it still applies today or whether legal is still as frigid though. Planet.o.o is there more for historical reasons. James used to host it on his own but it started to use way too much bandwidth for the contract he had, and darix and I provided him with a quick solution to move somewhere else. As James didn't have enough time to maintain it any more, I took over and migrated our planet to another piece of (heavily patched) software in the process. But, sure, planet.o.o could most probably be hosted on SUSE infrastructure. At least from a legal perspective, I don't see why it couldn't (but IANAL). That being said, all in all, I would very much like to retain some infrastructure options outside of SUSE. Once we'll have a foundation and funds, we'll be able to have a few such options without people having to pay it out of their own pocket (as it is right now). cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

Last time I had a closer look, there was some overlapp between packman and the "regular" openSUSE repos like Factory or releases. If this is still the case, could that be a way to reduce effort and infrastructure cost for you guys? For example, where it's about shipping newer versions, could Tumbleweed serve that role?

Considering many seem to love the suggestion of supporting OBS somehow and Pacman might be a particularly 'needy' cause, the obvious question now is - Pascal, is there any way we can help Pacman within the above constraints? You already mentioned there is no organization behind it which complicates it. But maybe you know a 'friendly' not-for-profit which can help us, or someone associated with Pacman does have a company which could help? (if it wasn't obvious I support Adrian and Ismael in their enthusiasm for Pascal's request)

I think Alan's email was clear enough that we can buy equipment and it is a very short step from buying SSDs to run in OBS to buying a server to run Packman on. For this to proceed, someone needs to accept the reponsibility of: 1) Putting together a real proposal for purchasing SSDs for OBS complete with some technical info about why we think that will improve performance in the specific situation of the SSD. 2) Similar for a Packman server. Then put the proposals up and have a members only vote. (I do think this should be members only.)

I'll work on the accounting. I know that many of the mentors will already be attending the conference, but if these funds could enable a mentor to attend when he/she wouldn't otherwise be able, I think that this would be a great use of the moneys. Alan
Alan, would that work?
