[openstack-community] [COMMUNITY] The path to Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

[please reply only to community(a)lists.openstack.org] hello folks, we all push to improve how we interact with the OpenStack users, help newcomers find answers to their questions and ease their path to adoption. That's why we kickstarted the project Ask OpenStack. We're installing an instance of Askbot under the openstack.org domain, with the help of Askbot developers. It will have a custom skin and authentication based on Launchpad like the rest of our services. In the first phase it will support English and once we decide that we like it, we will start adding other languages so users will be able to ask questions and get answers in their own language. While the technical part of Ask is being done, I'd like to start talking about the organization of the content of the site, the static pages, etc. We'll probably also need moderators and OpenStack experts that can help answer questions on the site. If you want to help with these tasks please join the Community mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community where we can discuss the project further. Thanks, stef

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 15 – 22)
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming this weekend <http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc> Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact information at https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements. On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is available for your convenience <https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html> (changes “LLC” to “Foundation”, restores a sentence from ASF <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/ge…> and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: http://openstack.org/register/. OpenStack outpaces Amazon, at least by hype <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-outpaces-amazon-at-least-by-hype/> A study conducted by TrendKite shows that at this point OpenStack has more media mentions than Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, CloudStack and OpenNebula combined. If that is not enough, another chart from the same study appears to show that “OpenStack” media mentions are on par with that of “Cloud Computing.” CloudEnvy: Development in the cloud! <http://jake.ai/cloudenvy-development-in-the-cloud> Jake Dahn is working on a project called CloudEnvy which has potential to change the development patterns of web developers everywhere: it allows you to configure and distribute reproducible development environments in the cloud. Bring on the Crazy: Zero to Book in Five Days <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/02/bring-on-the-crazy-zero-to-book-in-fi…> Anne Gentle is leading a “crazy” project: a large, highly focused documentation sprint to write that operator’s guide — for operators by operators. Anne promised to pluck operators out of their day jobs, put them in a room, fuel them with coffee, BBQ, and TexMex, and get to writing. Sounds awesome to me: I’m voting for their panel On Writing the OpenStack Operations Manual in 5 Days <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/vote-for-speakers/presentatio…> at the upcoming OpenStack Summit. The OpenStack Gate <http://dague.net/2013/02/21/the-openstack-gate/> The OpenStack project has a really impressive continuous integration system, which is one of its core strengths as a project. Every proposed change to our gerrit review <https://review.openstack.org/#/> system is subjected to a battery of tests on each commit, which has grown dramatically with time, and after formal review by core contributors, we run them all again before the merge. How can this gate merge hundreds of changes per day? Learn about Zuul, the OpenStack gatekeeper.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 1 – 8)
by Stefano Maffulli 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/> There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/> (OpenStack) Anita Kuno <http://anteaya.info/>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/> There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

[openstack-community] Speakers for an OpenStack meetup
by Nicolae Paladi 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hey everyone, I've read recently on this mailing list about an idea of a "speakers list" for the meetups and wonder if there has been any progress on that. we're in the process of organizing a first OpenStack meetup in Stockholm<http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/> in April and I was wondering about getting some keynote speakers that have some visibility within the community to kick-start the event. Can you suggest any names that I could contact? regards, /Nico.
