[openstack-community] Recruiting - Translation Coordinator
by Ying Chun Guo 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi, all Now the translation of OpenStack message strings and documents is managed by Transifex. The access control in Transifex is set as "Free for all". Anybody can jump in and contribute to the translation. It's easily to attract translators but it's not good for the quality. In order to ensure the quality of translation, there is a plan to enable the role based access control of OpenStack project in Transifex. This change will need to set up the translation team for each language, including translators, reviewers and coordinators. The coordinators are the leaders of a translation team. They are responsible for the set up of translation team and the control of quality. Now I send this mail to community and call for coordinators. Responsibilities of coordinators include: 1. communicate with translators/reviewers in your team, coordinate the translation and review work among the translators and reviewers in your team. 2. control the quality of translation. Review each auto-generated translation patch in Git review tool. 3. manage the translation memory and glossary for a certain language. 4. communicate with community about requirements, bugs, and issues of translation. People, who want to be a coordinator, don't need to worry about: 1. the size of the translation team. The translation team can grow from small. If there is only 1 people who is contributing to the translation of a certain language, that people could be the coordinator. 2. the usage of tools (Transifex, Git review, and etc.). We have many people who can help you get familiar with the tools. 3. translation experiences and coordinator experiences. The community have people with rich experiences who can give you guidance. If you have passions and time, if you want to contribute to OpenStack translation, feel free to contact with me. Thanks and regards Daisy

Highlights of the week Kwapi: an energy efficiency architecture <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Kwapi+an+energy+efficiency+architecture?la…> XLcloud HPC project focuses on providing high performance HPC services, while improving energy efficiency. Kwapi makes a smart use of data collected by Ceilometer interfaced with wattmeters in order to introduce power consumption statistics in OpenStack Nova scheduling strategies. Kwapi is stored on StackForge <https://github.com/stackforge/kwapi> and a blueprint is available here <http://www.xlcloud.org/bin/view/XLcloudProjectManagement/EEA>. Logging and debugging in OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/logging-and-debugging-in-openstack/> The importance of debugging is much more noticeable on large projects like OpenStack, which require both developers and common users contribute and report when something is not going well. In #openstack-101 Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> met many people wanting to start contributing to OpenStack, but a lot of them didn't know how to provide the right information to see where the problem was when they were facing a blocker. A must read for anybody starting (and a handy bookmark to provide to people stuck somewhere). Announcing Climate, the OpenStack capacity leasing project <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/openstack-climate-capacity-leasing> A capacity leasing service is something really needed by service providers, especially in the context of cloud platforms dedicated to HPC style workload. Instead of building something really specific, the decision has been made to build a new standalone OpenStack components aiming to provide this kind of functionnality to OpenStack. In the spirit of others OpenStack components, it will be extensible to fullfil a large panel of needs around this problematic. Participate in the first OpenStack User Survey! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/participate-in-the-first-openstack-us…> If you are an OpenStack user or have customers with OpenStack deployments, please take 10 minutes to respond to our first User Survey or pass it along to your network.

The NIC (and the network in general) is always thought of as a consumable resource involved in a data transfer. To a lesser extent the disk bandwidth is considered, and on occasion the system bus is as well. However, the effects on the CPU tend to be underestimated.

[openstack-community] The OpenStack User Survey
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hello folks, I ask the leaders of the user groups around the world to spread the word about the OpenStack User Survey. If you an OpenStack user or know of OpenStack deployments in your region, please take a few minutes to respond to our first User Survey or pass it along to your network. Our community has grown at an amazing rate in 2.5 years, and it’s time to better define our user base and requirements, so we can respond and advocate accordingly. Below you’ll find a link and instructions to complete the User Survey by April 1, 2013. It takes 10 minutes. Doing so will help us better serve the OpenStack user community, facilitate communication and engagement among our users as well as uncover new OpenStack users that might be willing to tell their stories publicly. Take the survey: https://www.openstack.org/user-survey/OrgInfo All of the information you provide is confidential to the Foundation and will be aggregated anonymously unless you clearly indicate we can publish your organization’s logo and profile at http://www.openstack.org/user-stories. Make sure to tune in to the User Committee when they present the aggregate findings of this important survey at the OpenStack Summit, April 15-18, in Portland, OR. For those unable to attend, we’ll share the presentation and have a video of the session to view after the event. Thank you again for your support. .stef

[openstack-community] New OpenStack Venezuela User Group
by Ender Mujica 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello, We are deploying the first Private Open Cloud using OpenStack in Venezuela. 5 Cisco UCS (2x10 core and 128 GB RAM) + 20 TB on Netapp to store Images and VM (using live migration). With OpenStack we are going to get reduce highly the lapse between a Virtual Machine is requested and the VM is delivered. My team and I have been working hard to learn from scratch about OpenStack. We started our lab using Essex over 3 servers, first with ubuntu 12.04 and later with Centos 6 . When Folsom came out in October 2012 we reconfigured the lab to implement Quantum (to replace the nova-network). We presented the project to our staff (Manager and Coordinators) and they approved to deploy the cloud in our company. At this time, we have ready and automated the Operative System and OpenStack installation through scripts and the plan to configure and deploy a production enviroment has begun. Also, we've started the Venezuela OpenStack User Group because want to share our knowledment and experience but need to know how or some help to include the group inside https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_User_Groups We have: Google+ https://plus.google.com/communities/118105990522935078913 tweeter: @openstackve Google Groups https://groups.google.com/d/forum/openstack-ve Also, we reserve the domain openstack.org.ve. The next step will be hire a web server and with help of the Venezuelan's community to keep growing the group) This project and the Venezuela Group is a big and good challenge. Ing. Ender Mujica.

[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

Please visit by our booth during setup on Thursday (1-6pm) or during the show and fill out index cards with your jobs. Cards and markers will be there for your use. Stefano Maffulli, Community Manager, and a wonderful group of community volunteers will encourage visitors to take pictures of the jobs for later followup.

Hello folks, we've started collecting some of the most frequently asked questions at community events. To help volunteers answer them I've started an etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/booth-faq I would like to ask you to see the questions and answers already there, see if: a) they both make sense (and add your comments to them) b) there are questions you would add (add the questions and the answers) Thank you, stef

Highlights of the week We Wrote an OpenStack Operations Guide in 5 Days! <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/> OpenStack Operations Guide <http://www.openstack.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/OpenStackOpsGuide.…>And here it is...the OpenStack Operations Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/ops/>. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or print <http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/openstack-operations-guide/13692…>. The electronic formats are free to download so click away. The print version costs $29.90 and all proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to support more book sprints like the one that produced this book. Read from the protagonists how they did it: Lorin <http://Lorin/>Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/open-source-documentation-in…>, Everett <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-daysEvere…>Toews <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/>, Anne Gentle <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/we-did-it-zero-to-book-in-five-days/>. Case Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/case-study-on-openstack-cloud-in-health-care/> Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting to opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data storage, elastic compute service resources, and data analytics. Given the powerful forces changing the economics of the overall health care marketplace, technologies that can address security and compliance at reduced cost are getting a lot of attention. OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release. <http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5458/swift-and-quotas-in-upcoming-1-8-0-gri…> OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. A «super user» with the reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit for an account and the account will not be able to have new objects/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas. OpenStack Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/03/08/openstack-updated-individual-contributo…> Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a new individual agreement. We graphed the data of the rate of signups: almost 400 developers signed in less than a week.

Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming this weekend (2nd try) <http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc> Last weekend the change was blocked at the last minute by a request to amend the CLA text. We're trying again this weekend. Starting on March 3, 2013 1700UTC 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>. 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/.
