[openstack-community] ATC Reminder: Summit Registration
by Claire Massey 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi everyone, Just a quick reminder that registration prices for the May 2014 OpenStack Summit in Atlanta will increase TODAY, March 28 at 11:55pm CST. This is also the deadline for ATCs to register for the Summit for free. We already provided all active technical contributors (ATCs) who contributed to the Havana release or Icehouse release (prior to March 7, 2014) with a USD $600-off discount code to register for a Full Access Pass to the Summit - this means that all ATCs can register for the Summit for FREE, but only if you use the code to register by 11:55pm CST TODAY. If you use the ATC code to register after March 28 then a fee will be charged. When you register on EventBrite, you will need to enter your code before you select the Full Access level pass. It's easy to overlook, so please reference the following illustration: https://www.dropbox.com/s/durn7bgi3jatjeq/HowToUseCode_AtlantaSummit.png REGISTER HERE- https://openstacksummitmay2014.eventbrite.co.uk Please email events(a)openstack.org with any Summit related questions. Cheers, Claire

OpenStack + Ceph = A match made in heaven Thursday Mar 20, 2014 @ 6:30PM PST Jama Software (South) 334 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR You don't get too many second chances in life, but if you missed Ian Colle's presentation in Denver this February, and you happen to be in Portland on March 20th, then you're in luck. Ian is the Director of Engineering at Inktank, the company delivering Inktank Ceph Enterprise. He will be flying over to discuss Ceph integration with OpenStack at a deep technical level, and also for the beer. Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Ceph offers a Swift and S3-compatible REST API for seamless data access, a network block device for large images or volumes, and native support for Qemu/KVM, libvirt, CloudStack, and OpenStack which makes it quite a versatile storage platform. Join us for a walkthrough of the Ceph architecture, its current status, how it integrates with OpenStack, and plans for future development. Prior to Inktank, Ian held positions in Intel's High Performance Data Division and Whamcloud's High Performance Computing team. He is an avid trail runner who thinks running up the sides of mountains is an enjoyable way to exercise. Please RSVP so we can ensure food and drinks are adequate. See you then. http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/events/164592302/ Follow #OSNW on Twitter for livestream/recording links.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Summit proposal voting - not a fan
by Dave Neary 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi all, Rather than just complain into the ether, I wanted to let people know why I don't like the voting process for conference proposals and see if I'm the only one. I don't think that the voting process is the best way to gauge whether proposals will be good for the conference. There are a few reasons for that: * Having to hawk & promote proposal(s) is kind of unseemly, and makes us look small, I think. Hundreds of people going "vote for me!" doesn't make us look good. * Some people don't want to pitch themselves, others don't have access to as big a platform to promote * The same issues exist with this system which exist with board voting - there is a possibility that people will vote for their colleagues, not out of any corruption, but just because no-one has time to rate all the proposals, and they're more likely to rate those submitted by people they know more highly * Also, it's a self-selecting group of people who rate proposals - I don't think voters will be representative of summit attendees * After all is said and done, the proposals which are chosen by the voters are guidelines to the people who choose the talks for the tracks, the track leaders I have been a track leader for the last number of summits, and I've seen first hand great presentations get very low numbers of votes, while others which are not as interesting get very high numbers of votes and high ratings. Personally, I would be happy if we could change the system to remove the "pimp my talk" aspect for Summits.
