[gpfsug-discuss] Making an RFE Public (and an intro)

[John Hamano]

Hi Carl, welcome and congratulations on your new role.  I am North America 
Brand Sales for ESS and Spectrum Scale.   Let me know when you have some 
time next weekg to talk.

First the intro: I am the new Product Manager joining the Spectrum Scale 
team, taking the place of Janet Ellsworth. I'm looking forward to meeting 
with you all.

I also have some news about RFEs: we are working to enable you to choose 
whether your RFEs for Scale are private or public. I know that many of you 
have requested public RFEs so that other people can see and vote on RFEs. 
We'd like to see that too as it's very valuable information for us (as 
well as reducing duplicates). So here's what we're doing:

Short term:
If you have an existing RFE that you would like to see made Public, please 
email me with the ID of the RFE. You can find my email address at the foot 
of this message. 

PLEASE don't email the entire list!


Medium term:
We are working to allow you to choose at the time of submission whether a 
request will be Private or Public. Unfortunately for technical internal 
reasons we can't simply make the Public / Private field selectable at 
submission time (don't ask!), so instead we are creating two submission 
queues, one for Private RFEs and another for public RFEs. So when you 
submit an RFE in future you'll start by selecting the appropriate queue. 
Inside IBM, they all go into the same evaluation process.

As soon as I have an update on the availability of this fix, I will share 
with the group.


Note that even for Public requests, some fields remain Private and hidden 
from other viewers, e.g. Business Case (look for the "key" icon next to 
the field to confirm).

regards,
Carl
