[openstack-community] OpenStack User Group Ecuador
by Daniel Núñez 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hello everyone A strong and warm greetings from Quito-Ecuador. My name is Daniel Nuñez. I have several months researching and using OpenStack and I really want to continue because is a technology with great potential. Here in Ecuador is a little known, for this reason I want to create the OpenStack User Group Ecuador. Documentation for communities (here<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackUserGroups/HowTo#Starting_a_new_Op…>) is information for meetups, hackathons, etc., more focused on the organization of events, but I'm not clear how a new OSUG becomes visible. How the OpenStack Foundation recognizes and registers these groups? Creating a new OSUG is subject to review and / or approval of OpenStack Foundation? How to get a mentor for my OSUG? (the reference mentor sends a page without information). I appreciate your help with some information.

[openstack-community] Recruiting - Translation Coordinator
by Ying Chun Guo 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi, all Now the translation of OpenStack message strings and documents is managed by Transifex. The access control in Transifex is set as "Free for all". Anybody can jump in and contribute to the translation. It's easily to attract translators but it's not good for the quality. In order to ensure the quality of translation, there is a plan to enable the role based access control of OpenStack project in Transifex. This change will need to set up the translation team for each language, including translators, reviewers and coordinators. The coordinators are the leaders of a translation team. They are responsible for the set up of translation team and the control of quality. Now I send this mail to community and call for coordinators. Responsibilities of coordinators include: 1. communicate with translators/reviewers in your team, coordinate the translation and review work among the translators and reviewers in your team. 2. control the quality of translation. Review each auto-generated translation patch in Git review tool. 3. manage the translation memory and glossary for a certain language. 4. communicate with community about requirements, bugs, and issues of translation. People, who want to be a coordinator, don't need to worry about: 1. the size of the translation team. The translation team can grow from small. If there is only 1 people who is contributing to the translation of a certain language, that people could be the coordinator. 2. the usage of tools (Transifex, Git review, and etc.). We have many people who can help you get familiar with the tools. 3. translation experiences and coordinator experiences. The community have people with rich experiences who can give you guidance. If you have passions and time, if you want to contribute to OpenStack translation, feel free to contact with me. Thanks and regards Daisy

[openstack-community] OpenStack Teacher /Student Certification
by Frans Thamura 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

hi all I am working with Education, take a look www.jeni-academy.org now i am thinking to create OpenSTack + CLoudFoundry certification, that we will give to the teacher in every school (targeting vocational highschool/secondary school and polytechnics). any one can work together for this? because I want to put logo in our certification for OpenStack, where is the place i can ask for this permission? this program usually part of my experience create user group, every school or region of state will become regional academy = state based user group, I love to work together with anyone outside Indonesia, for smiliar work, so we can create one content, one program, and better result. West JAva State only, have 263 schools , and around 12.000 school target all over Indonesia, that will be interesting work, around 500.000 student. right now they focus is "IaaS", and our focus in JAva User Group/JENI is PaaS. Microsoft asks me to put Azure, but they cannot provide the license for education, so I give the rest of the network to OpenStack.. plus CloudFoundry Right now we use Ubuntu.. NB: I wish Redhat interest with this, but I email to RH SEA, no program for this yet in our region. We have create a free material to setup, deploy, setup OpenSTack and CloudFoundry, the missing thing is -- Frans Thamura (曽志胜) Shadow Master and Lead Investor Meruvian.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Apr 5 – 12)
by Stefano Maffulli 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Highlights of the week Introducing the OpenStack Activity Board <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/introducing-the-openstack-activity-bo…> I am pleased to announce that a beta release of the OpenStack Activity Board (beta) <http://activity.openstack.org/data/> is now live. The development Activity Board announced few months ago <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/09/providing-a-unified-view-of-openstack…> provides a visual overview of all the OpenStack public activity of community members across multiple dimensions: contributors and organizations, projects and tools. From a single interface, you can easily surf OpenStack project content, whether it is coming from the LaunchPad bug tracker, Git or Gerrit, all mapped against the OpenStack Foundation members database. Join the session at the Summit <http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/ebbf37e343246e0b80bf99540a0…> to learn more and give feedback. The need for releases <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/the-need-for-releases/> The beginning of a new release cycle is as good as any moment to question why we actually go through the hassle of producing OpenStack releases. Twice per year <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Cycle>, on a precise date we announce 6 months in advance, we bless and publish source code tarballs of the various integrated projects in OpenStack. Every week we have a meeting <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ProjectMeeting> that tracks our progress toward this common goal. Read Thierry’s post if you want to know why. International Community Forum – Wednesday April 17 3.40pm in A105 <http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/e45f299aad360fea432241f9b60…> If you are travelling to the OpenStack Summit from afar, we are holding an International Forum where we would like you to come along with your answer to the following question, “What’s an important, unique and interesting thing about OpenStack in my country”. The aim of the session is to share the answers so that we all might learn and gather new ideas for the improvement of the OpenStack community around the world!” It will be great to see just how many countries we can see represented in the one room, and a great opportunity for international networking. Understanding nova-conductor in OpenStack Nova <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/understanding-nova-conductor…> Nova conductor is a new service in Nova introduced in the Grizzly release. It as one of the top three changes in Nova in the Grizzly cycle, along with bare metal provisioning and cell. In this article, Yun Mao <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack> discusses its pros and cons to help you understand it better. OpenStack Networking, use of “Quantum” <http://markmail.org/message/w37tv4bgzxld7x4a> We have to phase out the trademark or attention getting use of the code name “Quantum” when referring to the the OpenStack Networking project, as part of a legal agreement with Quantum Corporation, the owner of the “Quantum” trademark. The Board of Directors and Technical Committee members involved in Networking related development and documentation were notified so we could start working to remove “Quantum” from public references. At the summit we have a session scheduled to talk about project names generally and the path forward for OpenStack Networking specifically. For instance, in places where there is a need for something shorter, such as the CLI, we could come up with a new code name or use something more descriptive like “os-network.” This is a question it probably makes sense to look at across projects at the same time. If you have input on this, please come participate in the session Thursday April 18 at 4:10pm: http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/95df68f88b519a3e4981ed9da7c… Tips and Tricks * By Andreas Jaeger <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenStack>: Chef and Crowbar for setting up OpenStack clouds – with openSUSE and SUSE Cloud <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/2013/04/chef-and-crowbar-for-setting-up.html> * By Mirantis <http://www.mirantis.com/>: Guest Post: Offloading CPU data traffic in OpenStack cloud with iSCSI over RDMA <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/offloading-cpu-data-traffic-in-openstack-cloud…> * By Xlcloud <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/OpenStack>: Devstack with OpenStack Networking in a multi-node configuration <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Devstack+with+Quantum+in+a+multi-node+conf…> * By Sébastien Han <http://sebastien-han.fr/>: Openstack: quickly fix mirrored queues errors <http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/04/09/openstack-quickly-fix-mirrored-queu…> * By Spilgames Engineering <http://engineering.spilgames.com/>: OpenStack with Open vSwitch and Networking (Folsom) on Scientific Linux <http://engineering.spilgames.com/openstack-with-open-vswitch-on-scientific-…> * By Michael Still <http://www.stillhq.com/>: Faster pip installs <http://www.stillhq.com/openstack/tips/000001.html> * By Yun Mao <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack>: How to run pylint with few false positives <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-f…> * By Kashyap Chamarthy <http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/>: Finding serial console log of a nova instance <http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/finding-serial-console-log-of-a-no…> Upcoming Events * OpenStack Summit April 2013 <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> Apr 15 – 18, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> * Beers / Summit Debrief / Internally Promoting OpenStack <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> Apr 24, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> * OpenStack meeting in Cologne <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> May 04, 2013 – Cologne, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> * OpenStack DACH Day <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> May 24, 2013 – Berlin Fairgrounds Details <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> * OpenStack Israel <http://www.meetup.com/IGTCloud/events/99146542/> May 27, 2013 – Tel-Aviv, Israel Details <http://www.openstack-israel.org/> * OpenStack CEE Day <http://www.openstack.org/> May 29, 2013 – Budapest Details <http://www.openstack.org/> * Building an OpenStack Cloud <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> May 30, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> * OpenStack meeting in Munich <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> Jun 11, 2013 – Munich, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> * GigaOM Structure <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> Jun 19 – 20, 2013 – San Francisco, CA Details <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> * OSCON 2013 <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Jul 22 – 26, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Other News * OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 9 with Alan Clark, Chairman of the Board <http://rafstack.tumblr.com/post/47690655131> * OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 8 with Lew Tucker, VP/CTO Cloud Computing at Cisco Systems <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/04/10/ope…> * OpenStack Project Meeting: Summary <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-09-21.…> and full logs <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-09-21.…> Got answers?

[openstack-community] HyperV authentication question
by Ata Bohra 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I'm a newbie to Openstack and recently got started to look in to it. The task in hand is to look for feasible ways to manage/configure HyperV (2012 server) from a Linux host (SL 6.1). Earlier to the Openstack I was looking into "OpenWSMAN" (open source implementation for WSMAN specification by DTMF). The issue their was Openssh used by OpenWSMAN to establish connections to HyperV does not support "Kerberos" authentication and requires the server authentication to be lowered to "Basic". Browsing through "nova-compute" code it seems the HyperV driver is using "WMI" python library; does anyone knows if this library suffers from any such deficiencies? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ata
