h1. Roadmap meeting 

 Please add your own wishlist here, we would review these topics during the meeting, Order has no meaning. 

 h2. Dec 05 2011 : 7pm UTC on #theforeman (Freenode) 

 h3. Important Issues to review 

 * Mcollective integration 
 * Pulp Admin integration 
 * Parameterized classes support (#832) 
 * Controlling the BMC through IPMI 
 ** control boot order 
 ** power controls 
 * Remove dependency of virt in foreman 
 ** make a more generic layer that allows for any 3rd party virtualization tools (ovirt, virt, libvirt, aws, fog, ...) 
 * ESX support 
 * Ruby version support 
 * create external service for 3rd party tools 
 ** wrapper service that acts as the middle man to talk to foreman and 3rd party tools 
 ** Can handle compatibility better  
 ** Better security 
 **** Security related issues, that so far have been handled outside Foreman, like restricting who can POST Reports and Facts. Ideally Foreman should handle them. #1169 
 * [[Password Encryption]]  
 * DB data versioning (Templates, parameters, etc - possibility to revert to a previous state)  
 * Cloud provisioning and unattended access/security related (#969) 
 * Audits to Hostgroups/Classes/Parameters/Provisioning should have be displayed on the Dashboard, perhaps with some Visualization? 
 * host roles that were originally possible with puppet before adding the ENC.    Roles can be assigned to host or hostgroups with a (many-to-many) relationship. 
 * Full working    unattended installations via proxy  
 * Add scheduling #1249 
 * Discuss about new UI in Foreman (from 0.3 -> 0.4) - Fixed size columns ...

 h3. Mcollective  

 # functionality exposed in UI : 

 * simple action : puppet kicks, services management
