    2. Test WG has discussed long duration tests, need Pod resources for this, logistics with 5 installers are complex (acm, 15:12:39)
    3. what are test cases we would like to include? Long duration means 2 weeks. (acm, 15:13:12)
    4. Trevor proposed latency test cases ... need to tune up what we collect to make them useful (trevor_intel, 15:14:25)

    6. Al suggests an alternative is many short duration tests ... repeated ... makes results duration easier (trevor_intel, 15:17:37)

    9. need to store the VMs with our other VMs, like VLOOP, but apparently need special write access, trouble ticket (acm, 15:53:34)
