[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Dec 14-21)

Highlights of the week -- Holiday edition Happy holidays from the whole team at the OpenStack Foundation. We wish you a merry time to spend with your beloved ones. DevStack on openSUSE, or how to quickly setup OpenStack on openSUSE <http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2012/12/21/DevStack-on-openSUSE%2C-or-how…> DevStack is a set of shell scripts to build complete OpenStack development environments. It is useful to create a small OpenStack environment that will be used for hacking, testing, etc. and is therefore primarily used for upstream development. Vincent Untz got DevStack to work on openSUSE. Ten Useful Openstack Swift Features <http://www.17od.com/2012/12/19/ten-useful-openstack-swift-features/> Adrian Smith goes through some of the new features introduced in Swift 1.7.5 and their implication. If you want to learn about CORS support <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/misc.html#cors-headers>, Etag, Object versioning and other nice features read his post. Introducing OpenStack Packstack <http://goodsquishy.com/2012/12/introducing-openstack-packstack/> Derek Higgins developed a tool that is capable of installing OpenStack in a distributed environment using some of the most common configurations. Packstack can be used to transform Fedora 17/18, RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 servers into a functional Openstack Folsom deployment. The tool ssh's onto each server and apply's puppet manifests to set openstack up. On his blog post Derek outlines how to use his Packstack on Fedora 17. A look at individual membership in the OpenStack Foundation <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-look-at-individual-membership-in-the-opensta…> It's no secret that I like numbers and charts. If you like them too, then David Fishman's post is a must read for the holidays. Davide took a snapshot of the membership of the OpenStack Foundation using the publicly available data. Who are these people and what are their affiliations? What if anything does it say about the use and uptake of OpenStack cloud? What doesn't it say? And, like any data, what other useful questions does it raise? Remember that the OpenStack Foundation elections are coming <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/> and the holidays may be a good time to get to know the candidates <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/CandidateList> for the Board of Directors. An <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…>Introduction To OpenStack <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…> Martin Paulo introduced OpenStack to a new group of people. He collected and published his notes: I believe his work can be very useful for other OpenStack speakers.

[openstack-community] Requesting volunteers to staff the OpenStack booth at the Open Compute Project Summit
by kathyc＠openstack.org 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi everyone, I am the relatively new OpenStack Foundation industry events planner. I'll post this kind of request for community support for events from time to time. The Open Compute Project has provided OpenStack with a very nice 10' x 10' booth at the OCP Summit January 16-17 2013, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. The Foundation staff cannot attend, unfortunately. We're looking for volunteers to staff the booth. The Expo Hall is open both days from 8am - 6pm with peak times over breaks and lunch. Volunteers will have full conference access to attend keynotes, sessions, and evening cocktail party in addition to speaking with potential developers and users in the booth. We will provide everything needed (except travel expenses) including videos for the large monitor, collateral, OpenStack logo'd backdrop and more. Please reply to me directly at [mailto:kathyc@openstack.org] kathyc(a)openstack.org, by end of day Wednesday, December 19 if interested. Thank you!-- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

[openstack-community] Cyprus Openstack community: Need help to prepare for a presentation
by S.Charalambous 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hello everyone, I have been invited from some organizations in Cyprus to go and give a presentation about Openstack. I attended the EMEA Openstack conference in London and I really like the slides that Jonathan Bryce and Jim Curry did. I would love to get their slides if possible. Do you know how can I do this since I don't have their emails. My audience will be people that are interested in technologies. So I will need to introduce Openstack to them. Do you know any other slides or videos I can use to prepare? Or if you have slides that you can share please send them to me. Thank you for you help in advance. Sergios Charalambous

Highlights of the weeks What people talk about when they talk about OpenStack Cloud <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/what-people-talk-about-when-they-talk-about-op…> There’s enough going on in the OpenStack <http://www.mirantis.com/openstack-services/> ecosystem that you can pretty much find a comfortable niche drilling down on anything from hypervisor compatibility to driver support to who’s in the foundation. Mirantis’ David M. Fishman takes a step back and highlights recent conversations about OpenStack. *Welcome New Outreach Program for Women Interns <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/12/welcome-new-outreach-program-for-wome…>* With a flurry of applications, we had a difficult decision in front of us, deciding who would be our newest mentored contributors through the GNOME Outreach Program for Women <https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>. All the applicants were enthusiastic and personable, knowledgeable and technical. We’re pleased to announce that the decisions have been made and these three are going to work on OpenStack full-time from January to March. Please welcome Laura, Anita and Victoria to the OpenStack community. *Making sense of SDN with–and without–HW-based networking in OpenStack Cloud <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/making-sense-of-sdn-with-and-without-hw-based-…>* There’s a tremendous amount of talk about the shift in the networking business from hardware-bound networking to Software Defined Network. Mirantis’ Greg Elkinbard gives an overview of SDN in OpenStack world. *OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 1 with Rob Hirschfeld, Principal Cloud Architect at Dell <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2012/12/06/ope…>* Learn firsthand about OpenStack, its challenges and opportunities, market adoption and Dell’s engagement in the community. Rafael Knuth’s goal is to interview all 24 members of the OpenStack board, and will post these talks sequentially at Dell TechCenter.
