Re: [Xen-cim] Today's meeting and testing strategy

[Gareth S Bestor <bestor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI - I'm in Haifa Isreal right now
at the IBM site here, thru next week. So, given the difficult timezone
difference wrt USA its a bit more difficult for me to make the Xen-CIM
and Xen-API calls; will try to make them next week.

wrt testing, I might suggest looking
at the existing Xen xmtest stuff (which my collegues in IBM LTC developed
BTW).
