[openstack-community] Tokyo Session for User Group & OpenStack Days Leaders
by Lauren Sell 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hi everyone, I wanted to give you a heads up that we have a working group session planned Wednesday at 3:40 pm, and would like to get as much participation and feedback from User Group leaders and OpenStack Day organizers as possible. http://sched.co/4Nyj <https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/schedule/main-conference> More than a year ago, Tom Fifield and others in the community kicked off a process to help identify and define “official" user groups in an effort to encourage high quality, sustainable and community-driven groups around the world. We have since created the user groups portal (groups.openstack.org <http://groups.openstack.org/>) and began on boarding dozens of groups, but have yet to pull the trigger on the “official” user group designation. One thing that has been missing is an official user group logo, which is an important part of the recognition and signal to community members. In April, we developed several options for official User Group and OpenStack Days logos and solicited feedback via a community survey. The logo options had the OpenStack colors and word mark, but not the traditional OpenStack “O” icon. The feedback was pretty neutral on the logos produced, with the primary request being to incorporate the “O” icon. After receiving the feedback, we stalled out due to bandwidth around the Vancouver Summit, but now have a proposed user group logo with the “O” icon and are ready to move the program forward. Please join us Wednesday afternoon in Tokyo to voice your opinion and learn how to participate. The primary goal for this session is to dust off the official user group process and make sure everyone is on board, so we can begin recognizing official user groups with the new proposed branding as soon as possible. We would also like to discuss how the OpenStack Days programs and branding will evolve alongside it (openstack.org/event-policy). Finally, we would like to brainstorm other programs or funding opportunities that the Foundation can offer to help support official user groups — so please come with ideas for what would make the biggest impact in your local community. We’ll of course be sharing notes after the fact via the community mailing list. Thanks, Lauren

[openstack-community] #WeAreOpenStack
by Allison Price 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi everyone, At the OpenStack Summit Tokyo, we are kicking off a social media initiative to promote diversity and inclusivity within the OpenStack community. This idea was developed by the Women of OpenStack, and we encourage everyone in the community, even if you aren’t able to attend the Summit, to join in! To participate, use the hashtag #WeAreOpenStack on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to show what the OpenStack community means to you. Posts can include pictures of you with fellow community members or your perspective of being a part of the community. The OpenStack Summit Tokyo is simply going to be the launch of this hashtag, but after the Summit, continue to use the hashtag at different OpenStack events, including OpenStack Days, meetups and even day-to-day activities with your fellow Stackers. Cheers, Allison

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Open Space at the Tokyo Summit
by Sharone Zitzman 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hi Everyone, I'm very excited to be making my way to my first OpenStack Summit, despite organizing the OpenStack Israel community for a number of years now (annual event, meetup, and web presence). I think this is an excellent opportunity to leverage the diversity of community leaders from around the globe all being in the same place and I wanted to attempt to organize an on the ground "open space" meeting - i.e. an ad hoc, informal, brainstorming session - where we can all learn from each other about what we're doing on the ground, and from each other's experience. I have created a global OpenStack community Facebook group, so we can all have a place to collaborate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/637144716425889/ And have scheduled an on the ground event for Wednesday October 28th at 10:00 AM - which is between other conference community sessions at the summit. https://www.facebook.com/events/933499416688213/ You are all invited to join both the group and the meetup. Looking forward to meeting you all there. Warm Regards, Sharone Zitzman @shar1z <http://www.twitter.com/shar1z> -- [image: photo] <http://getcloudify.org/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medium=EML&utm_term=SIG-CFY&…> *Sharone Zitzman* Community & Growth Lead - Cloudify, GigaSpaces +972-54- <+972-54-22-66-463>559-9104 | sharoner(a)gigaspaces.com | http://getcloudify.org <http://getcloudify.org/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medium=EML&utm_term=SIG-CFY&…> <https://il.linkedin.com/in/sharonez> <http://twitter.com/shar1z> <https://github.com/shar1z> <http://getcloudify.org/authors/sharone-zitzman/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medi…> -- [image: photo] <http://getcloudify.org/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medium=EML&utm_term=SIG-CFY&…> *Sharone Zitzman* Community & Growth Lead - Cloudify, GigaSpaces +972-54- <+972-54-22-66-463>559-9104 | sharoner(a)gigaspaces.com | http://getcloudify.org <http://getcloudify.org/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medium=EML&utm_term=SIG-CFY&…> <https://il.linkedin.com/in/sharonez> <http://twitter.com/shar1z> <https://github.com/shar1z> <http://getcloudify.org/authors/sharone-zitzman/?utm_source=EML-SIG&utm_medi…>

Upgrade to Gerrit 2.11 <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076962.html> The OpenStack Infra team would like to upgrade from Gerrit 2.8 to 2.11. Proposing to do the upgrade shortly after the Mitaka summit. Motivation: Take advantage of some of the new REST API, ssh commands, and stream events features. There is a big UI change in 2.11, in which 2.8 includes both the old and new style. Preview 2.11 [9]. If you don’t like Gerrit 2.11, give Gertty [10] a try. Service Catalog: The Next Generation (Cont.) <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076592.html> Continuing from last week summary… <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/10/openstack-weekly-community-newsletter…> Sean Dague realizes that while people want to go in much more radical directions here, we should be careful. This is not a blank slate, as there are enough users using it that we must do careful shifts that enable a new thing similar to the old thing. Moving away from REST is too much, at least in the next 6 to 12 months. Getting a service catalog over REST without auth, or tenant IDs gets us somewhere to figure out a DNS representation. Establishing Release Liaisons for Mitaka <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/077033.html> Doug Hellmann writes that the release management team relies on liaisons from each project to be available for coordination for work across all teams. Responsibilities of release liaisons [11]. Signup [12]. Release Communication During Mitaka <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/077033.html> Doug Hellmann begins one of many emails describing difference in the way we handle release management for the Mitaka cycle. In the past, we’ve had communication issues where project team leads didn’t see or pay attention to release related announcements. This email was sent to the list and individual project team leads, to improve the odds that all will see it. “[release]” topic tag on the openstack-dev mailing list will be used. All project team leads and release liaison should configuring their email client to ensure the messages are visible. Requests + urllib3 + distro package (cont.) <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076518.html> Continuing discussions from last week… <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/10/openstack-weekly-community-newsletter…> Robert Collins comments a trivial workaround is to always use virtualenvs and not system-site-packages. Has OpenStack infra team considered using system-site-packages? Yes, but we take advantage of the python ecosystem uploading new releases to PyPI. We can then pretty instantly test compatibility of our software with new releases of dependencies. A way forward is: Get distros to fix their requests python dependencies Ubuntu [13] Fedora [14][15][16] Fix existing known bugs in pip where such dependencies are violated by some operations. Stop using vendorized version of requests and fork the project to use dependencies it should from the start. Convince upstream to stop vendorizing urllib3. Always use distro packages of requests, never from virtual environments. Scheduler Proposal (cont.) <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076373.html> Continuing from last week’s summary… <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/10/openstack-weekly-community-newsletter…> Ed notes that Josh Harlow’s solution isn’t too different than the current design of hosts sending their state to the scheduler. The reason for Cassandra proposal was to eliminate the duplication and have resources being scheduler and the scheduler itself all working with the same data. This is the intent of the current design. The data can never be perfect, so work with what you have and hope the rest of the system deals with your mistakes and gracefully retry. (e.g. scheduled compute node no longer has resources to accommodate a request.) To make this solution possible for downstream distributions and/or OpenStack users) you have to solve: Cassandra developers upstream should start caring about OpenJDK. Or Oracle should make its JVM free software. Clint notes that Cassandra does not recommend OpenJDK [17]. Thomas adds: Upstream does not test against OpenJDK. They close bugs without fixing them when it only affects OpenJDK. Thierry is generally negative about Java solutions as this being one of the reasons [18]. The free software JVM is not on par with the non-free JVM. We then indirectly force our users to use a non-free dependency. When the java solution is the only solution for a problem space, that might still be a good trade-off versus reinventing the wheel. However, for distributed locks and sharing state, there are some other good options out there. Clint mentions that Zookeeper is different from Cassandra. He has had success with OpenJDK. It’s also available on Debian/Ubuntu making access for developers much easier.

[openstack-community] Outreachy: Call for Funding, Mentors
by Lauren Sell 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hi everyone, Quick update on the Outreachy <https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/> program, including a request for funding and volunteer mentors. For those of you who are not aware, Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community. There have been a record 30 intern applicants and 11 volunteer mentors for OpenStack this next cycle, which will take place Dec 7, 2015 - March 7, 2016. The OpenStack program coordinators could use a few more volunteer mentors, and there has been specific interest in Ceilometer, Cinder, Horizon, Murano, Neutron, Nova, Sahara and Zaqar. You can learn more about what is expected from mentors and how to apply here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> Additionally, the Foundation agreed to sponsor five interns, but we could use some additional sponsors to help support the large increase in OpenStack applicants. The sponsorship cost is 6,500 USD per intern, which provide them a stipend for the three-month program. You can learn more about sponsorship here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action> I personally believe Outreachy is one of the most important and effective diversity efforts we’ve invested in to date. We’ve had some amazing graduates become long-term contributors to our community. I cannot give enough praise and thanks to the program coordinators (Victoria Martinez de la Cruz and Mahati Chamarthy for OpenStack), volunteer mentors, and sponsors for making it possible. Please help spread the word. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or sponsoring an intern, please contact Victoria (victoria(a)vmartinezdelacruz.com <mailto:victoria@vmartinezdelacruz.com>) or me (lauren(a)openstack.org <mailto:lauren@openstack.org>). Thanks, Lauren

Naming N and O Release Now <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076327.html> Sean Dague suggests since we already have the locations for N and O summits, we should start the name polls now. Carol Barrett mentions that the current release naming process only allows the release to be named is announced and no sooner than the opening of development of the previous release [6]. Consensus is made to have this changed. Monty mentions this option was discussed in the past, but it was changed because we wanted to keep a sense of ownership by the people who actually worked on the release. Sean will propose this to the next group of TC members. Requests + urllib3 + distro packages <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076518.html> Problems: Requests python library has very very specific versions of urllib3 it works with. So specific that they aren't always released. Linux vendors often unbundle urllib3 from requests and then apply what patches were needed to their urllib3 while not updating their requests package dependencies. We use urllib3 and requests in some places, but don't mix them up. If we have a distro-alterted requests + pip installed urllib3, request usually breaks. Lots of places the last problem can happen; they all depend on us having a dependency on requests that is compatible with the version installed by the distro, but a urllib3 dependency that triggers an upgrade of just urllib3. When constraints are in use, the requests version has to match the distro requests version exactly, but that will happen from time to time. Examples include: DVSM test jobs where the base image already has python-requests installed. Virtualenvs where the system-site-packages are enabled. Solutions: Make sure none of our testing environments include distro requests packages. Monty notes we're working hard to make this happen.
