[OpenStack Foundation] User Survey Results - October 2015
by Tom Fifield 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Hi everyone, Working with the user committee, we run a survey of users every six months. We are pleased to share the results of the latest survey, conducted in September. Each survey is meant to provide a sample representation of OpenStack users and deployment profiles, with the goals to identify challenges and help inform developers planning the next release, help other users understand technology decisions made by their peers and help the ecosystem better understand the user profile and needs. You can download the full report at: http://www.openstack.org/assets/survey/Public-User-Survey-Report.pdf This would not be possible without the efforts of users and application developers to fill out the survey, and our entire community to help shape it. We hope this data and feedback will be a good resource heading into the Tokyo summit planning sessions and discussions Thank you for all of your support and input, and see you at the summit! Regards, Tom, on behalf of the User Committee and Foundation Team

[OpenStack Foundation] #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 Foundation] DCO topic at October board meeting
by Russell Bryant 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hello! I was just looking over the current draft agenda for the October board meeting here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/26Oct2015BoardMeeting I see that the DCO topic is not on the agenda for the formal board meeting, but is instead in the joint TC/Board section for an update. I left the last board meeting with the understanding and expectation that we would be having a vote on this topic in October. The vote was postponed last time as some felt their company's legal counsel needed additional time to vet the issue, but that it could be done by October. It was also said that it was no big deal to postpone the vote since it would not postpone the implementation since pre-req work was still being done. We don't have official minutes of the last board meeting, as we'll be voting to approve them in October. The meeting overview from Jonathan didn't cover this topic: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2015-July/002036.html but it was covered in a follow-up by Mark McLoughlin and Mark Radcliffe: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2015-July/002037.html http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2015-July/002038.html A few important quotes from Mark Radcliffe's summary: "The Board considered the delay of the decision until the next Board meeting and then decided to do so." ... "However, the Board made clear that the decision would be made at the next Board meeting and that any discussion with inhouse counsel would need to be completed by that date." ... "The Board approved the continued technical preparation for implementing DCO for individual contributions. Moreover, the Board was also influenced by the fact that the deferral of this Board decision to the next meeting would not delay the implementation of the DCO procedure, if approved, because the earliest that the DCO could be implemented would be at the time of the Mitaka release." Based on that understanding, I'd like to see this on the regular board meeting agenda with a plan for a vote. If there is reason why it can not or should not be, I would love to hear an update from anyone involved in discussions that have happened since the last board meeting. Thanks, -- Russell Bryant

[OpenStack Foundation] Foundation help running a developer survey?
by Robert Collins 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

I proposed (to the openstack-dev mailing list) about 7 months back that we should run a developer survey, which got a positive reaction. I haven't followed up and actioned this for a few reasons. Firstly, there was some academic mail-bombing *everyone* inane surveys every week or two at that time, and I didn't want to burn folk out with yet *another* survey. Secondly, and I think more importantly, I realised that really we want a few things here that are not suited to a one-off by a random member of the community: - If the questions are useful, we should refresh the data regularly. Not at the frequency of the user survey, but perhaps yearly? - Secondly, we'll need a home for the data - and assuming its properly anonymous/anonymised - ongoing open access for us to ask questions about it - The foundation already has a track record for doing both those things with the user survey... So, I'm wondering - would the foundation be interested/willing to help the developer community out by running such a survey across all ATC's (minimally, perhaps a wider net with 'are you an ATC' as a question would be good too) yearly-or-so ? I'd be delighted to help seed the survey with initial questions (from me and the folk that replied to my earlier proposal). -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcollins(a)hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud
