[Gluster-devel] Week in GlusterD-2.0

[Kaushal M]

This week in GD2,

- We now have a Docker image and Vagrantfile for easier testing of GD2.
  - The Dockerfiles and Vagrantfiles are available under
`/extras/dev-docker`[1] and `/extras/test-env`[2] in the GD2
repository.
  - Docker images for testing will be automatically built for every
GD2 release from now on.
  - I worked on getting the above done
- Prashanth has continued work on replacing external etcd with
embedded etcd. [4]
- I've begun working on implementing a prototype for flexible volgen. [5]
  - I'll be starting a separate discussion on this on the devel list later
- We've begun discussions with James (purpleidea) on the possibilities
collaboration between GD2 and mgmt [6]
  - We'll be working together to get elastic etcd management present
in mgmt into GD2. Prashanth will be the main collaborator with James
on this.
  - We want to try to use the mgmt orchestration engine as a the
engine for the GD2 transactions.
    - We'll be attempting to do a prototype of this in the upcoming
weeks to figure out how we can make this work.

That's it for this week.
