OpenStack 2013.1.1 released <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-May/000100.html> 2013.1.1 release, the latest in the series of stable releases. These releases are bugfix updates to Grizzly and are intended to be relatively risk free with no intentional regressions or API changes. A total of 85 bugs have been fixed in this release. OpenStack Grizzly documentation released <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-May/000097.html> We have released a version of the OpenStack official documentation for grizzly and it is now available at http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly. We continue to update docs through our continuous publishing process so feedback is always welcome. If you have questions about how OpenStack documentation is maintained or would like to get involved, see http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/HowTo. We had nearly 80 contributors to the documentation for the Grizzly release. Thanks to everyone who helped create and maintain accurate information for OpenStack. Guidelines for answering question on Ask <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2013-May/000252.html> It’s time we start collecting guidelines for the moderators so we keep having a very informative tool, with consistently good questions and answers. This wiki page hosts the draft of the Guidelines for Moderators https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators. Comments welcome before they’re moved to their natural home on Ask OpenStack. Discussions at Breakfast with the Board – OpenStack April 2013 Summit <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/discussions-at-breakfast-with-the-boa…> The summary written by OpenStack Foundation’s Board of Directors of the things discussed during the Breakfast with the Bard in Portland, ranging from marketing to wifi, transparency to elections to what makes a contribution. A must read. Use existing RBD images and put it into Glance <http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/05/07/use-existing-rbd-images-and-put-it-…> What if Glance, the OpenStack Image Service, was capable of converting images within its store, say from QCOW2 image to a RAW? Waiting for this capability to be added, Sébastien Han <http://sebastien-han.fr/> plays with a scenario where you have a KVM cluster backed by a Ceph Cluster and your CTO wants you to migrate the whole environment to OpenStack. Science fiction in action. Security Issues * Nova uses insecure keystone middleware tmpdir by default (CVE-2013-2030) <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-May/000098.html> * Keystone tokens not immediately invalidated when user is deleted (CVE-2013-2059) <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-May/000099.html> OpenStack In The Wild A new section of the weekly newsletter dedicated to users of OpenStack.

Introducing Murano: Bringing Windows Environments to OpenStack <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/introducing-murano-bringing-windows-environmen…> In response to growing demand for deploying and running Windows based applications on OpenStack cloud, the team at Mirantis started Murano <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Murano>: a native OpenStack component that enables fast provisioning and operation of Windows Environments on demand. Who Wrote OpenStack Grizzly Docs? <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/26/who-wrote-openstack-grizzly-docs/> Sneaking a peek at the numbers for documentation along with the code should show us pointers about docs keeping up with code. Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/> dives into the documentation with data and insights. “I” release cycle naming <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming#.22I.22_release_cycle_naming> The next OpenStack summit will happen in Hong Kong. That creates a pretty challenging naming problem, since there is no word starting with “i’ in classic transliteration of Chinese words. So the Technical Committee is willing to bend the rules /a little/ to extend the range of candidates… Feel free to add suggestions to the list on the wiki. Stacker Voices: Monty Taylor, HP <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/stacker-voices-monty-taylor-hp/> Cloudscaling Engineering <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/> talked with Monty Taylor of HP (reaching rockstar status also with a wired.com <http://www.wired.com/> profile <http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/04/new-hackers-taylor/> this week) at the OpenStack Summit in Portland. Monty leads the CI (continuous innovation) project for OpenStack. In that role, he and his group have built testing systems that have made it possible for the OpenStack project to scale from a few dozen contributors for the Bexar release to more than 700 developers now pushing hundreds of patches daily to OpenStack. Watch the video on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqw4zxqPelc>. A little tracing hack <http://markmail.org/message/kjv4kry67732nawb> Timothy Daly at Yahoo! added metrics and tracing for OpenStack and released tomograph <https://github.com/timjr/tomograph>: a tool to see what and how OpenStack is doing behind the curtains. Contribute to OpenStack Activity Board <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/contribute-to-openstack-activity-boar…> We’ve released the complete documentation <http://activity.openstack.org/data/display/WIKIDS/Home> for OpenStack Insights <http://activity.openstack.org/data/>, with binaries and source code downloadable from Sourceforge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikidsopenstack> while the OpenStack Dash <http://activity.openstack.org/dash/> tools are the vanilla MetricsGrimoire <http://metricsgrimoire.github.io/> set hosted on github <https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire>. The code is free as in freedom so you’re welcome to play with it. How to run pylint with few false positives <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-f…> Testing your python code can get complex and with pylint, you /will /see false positives, meaning it will complain some lines as bugs that are actually correct. lintstack is designed to address this problem: *reduce false positives from pylint as much as possible without sacrificing accuracy*.
