[openstack-community] Pre & Post Summit events in Asia
by Tom Fifield 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi all, I hope you're excited for our upcoming summit in Hong Kong :) One of the ideas that has been floating around is that since we'll have an incredible mass of OpenStack expertise in the area for the summit, why don't we try and arrange some events in Asia before and afterward? This will mean that those multitudes in the region who can't make it to the summit can get exposure to the experts, and that leads to increased contributions and encourages global collaborations. Of course, organising this is going to take some work, and it needs to happen quite soon - as people are booking flight tickets early to get the best deal. What do you think about this idea? Will your group help organise an event? How do you think is the best way to make it work? Regards, Tom

[openstack-community] summit talk proposal "The role of the community managers in the OpenStack community"
by Atwood, Mark 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi! I have submitted a presentation abstract for the upcoming summit in Hong Kong, titled "The role of the community managers in the OpenStack community". http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/become-a-sp… One of the interesting things about the OpenStack project is in addition the excellent work being done by Stephano working for the Foundation, many of the participating organizations have community managers, directors of engagement, and other such people in such roles also engaged with the project and with the community. I don't want to be the only guy on stage. In fact, if we can make it a panel discussion of all the community managers, that would be best, and would be a better and more useful presentation. Who else is interested in signing up as a co-presenter, and making this a panel? ..m

[openstack-community] Ask OpenStack - what to do with Orphaned Questions
by Tom Fifield 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hi all, We are starting to develop a few orphaned questions. That is, unanswered questions which were impossible to answer - especially where the poster was asked to provide more information and they did not. For example, https://ask.openstack.org/question/287/on-devstack-floating-ip-works-with-o… https://ask.openstack.org/question/530/exception-when-running-stacksh/ https://ask.openstack.org/question/1650/instances-drop-immediately-essex/ https://ask.openstack.org/question/1735/cant-add-project/ https://ask.openstack.org/question/1359/quantumkeystone-service-randomly-di… In order to retain the usefulness of Ask for searching and listing questions (especially enabling people to find unanswered questions to answer), should we be closing these style of questions after a certain time period? Regards, Tom

[openstack-community] Speakers for the Openstack user group meetup in Stockholm
by Nicolae Paladi 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hello, I'd like to ask for some advise about contacting speakers for the next openstack user group nordics (OSUGN) meetup in Stockholm (http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/events/112862882/) scheduled for September, 11 at 18.00. I've decided to post on this list before posting on the general one. The first meetup in April this year (http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/events/95258382) was quite successful with 50 attendees and really nice speakers. Up until now though, it was somewhat difficult to find speakers for the next meetup (I blame it on summer vacations :-) ) Hit me if you any have tips about potential speakers that would be willing to give a talk at the meetup, either in person or remotely. There's quite a lot of interest for Quantum/Neutron around here, so it would also be great to have a speaker working with that. Thanks and have a great week, /Nicolae.

His latest post Twelve straw man positions to frame OpenStack “what is core” discussion <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/24/what-is-core-strawman/> moves to the ‘What’ is core from the /how / <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/23/introducing-the-openstack-spider-graph-…>and/why/ <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/making-openstack-meaningful/>. The twelve positions have been crafted over the course of several weeks and are constantly evolving. Next steps are to expand discussions to the OpenStack Community for input and review at the next Board Meeting on August 6th <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation#Proposed_2013_Board_M…>. Ultimately, we need to close this issue at the next Summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/>.

Our mission is to “Develop and maintain tooling and infrastructure able to deploy OpenStack in production, using OpenStack itself wherever possible.” For the latest code and documentation visit our incubator repository at https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-incubator. OpenStack Deployment (TripleO) was started by HP as part of our active contribution to OpenStack, in order to fill in core gaps in delivering OpenStack to users.

It derives its strength from the collective community. No matter when you joined or what role you play, you have the ability to shape the future of OpenStack and computing. In three short years since the community was established, OpenStack has truly become the center of cloud innovation, attracting hundreds of talented developers, brand-name users, and support from major industry leaders. This calls for a big toast to you, the OpenStack community! A Vision for Keystone <http://adam.younglogic.com/2013/07/a-vision-for-keystone/> As OpenStack evolves, its requirements for Identity Management evolve with it. In the early days, there was a single Nova server, and that stored user-id and password. Once OpenStack evolved into a body of servers, copying passwords around comprised too big a security risk. Keystone was first implemented as a central repository for those passwords. Adam Young <http://adam.younglogic.com/> writes in fine details what the plans are for the future of the OpenStack Identity Management service. Glance Registry Driver <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/51e47d110f06d35a218b0307/> A lot is going on on Glance lately, although you may have not noticed.

Oops, sorry about mis-sending. Tom, We are happy to organize event(s) in Korea, either as pre or post summit. I will have a discussion inside our community, and let you know more detail. However, knowing which kinds of people (for example, foundation director or tech people like PTL?) can possibly join the event will help us a lot to determine the details. Thank.

Hong Kong Summit – Registration, Call for Speakers & Sponsors Now Open! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/hong-kong-summit-registration-call-fo…> ???????????????????? ???????, ????????> <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> The All New OpenStack Travel Support Program <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/the-all-new-openstack-travel-support-…> The OpenStack Foundation announces the availability of travel grants under the OpenStack Travel Support Program. The program’s aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of Open Design <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open>, one of the founding principles upon which the OpenStack project is built. Blow Out the Candles – OpenStack Turns 3! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/blow-out-the-candles-openstack-turns-…> OpenStack will celebrate it’s third birthday July 19, and we’re celebrating this month! In three short years, Openstack has truly emerged as the center of cloud innovation, with hundreds of companies around the world relying on OpenStack to run their business. OpenStack is maturing, it’s coming of age and new users being announced every week (Fidelity, Comcast, Best Buy, Bloomberg). Over the past three years, we’ve also seen OpenStack grow internationally. There are now over 40 global user groups and more than 10,000 community members across 121 countries. And we’ve recently crossed the 1,000 authors threshold to the code base. This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community! A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins <http://www.danplanet.com/blog/2013/07/10/a-tool-for-watching-zuul-and-jenki…> Dan Smith <http://www.danplanet.com/blog> wrote a very hacky text “dashboard” that merges the information from Gerrit and Zuul, and provides a periodically-refreshed view of what is going on. The tool is useful to keep close watch of patches, both to know when they’re close to merging, as well as to know early when they’re failing a test. Catching something early and pushing a fix will kill the job currently in progress and start over with the new patch. This is a more efficient use of resources and lowers the total amount of time before Jenkins will vote on the patch in such a case. Save Space: the final frontier – Erasure Codes with OpenStack Swift <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/07/10/erasure-codes-with-openstack-swift/> The Swift team announced an initiative to introduce erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. This initiative enables deployers to store data with erasure coding instead of or in addition to Swift’s 3-replica model.

[openstack-community] qyjohn's quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source projects is out
by Atwood, Mark 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi! Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q2 http://www.qyjohn.net/?=3297 It’s in Chinese, but he typically publishes an English translation a few days later. Short summary of OpenStack’s position: We are still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors. The data sources for discussion thread metrics for OpenStack are https://lists.openstack.net/openstack/ https://answers.launchpad.net/openstack/ http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/*/ https://ask.openstack.org/ Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention? His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects. Share and enjoy. ..m Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director of Open Source Engagement for HP Cloud Services M +1-206-473-7118

[openstack-community] usage of openstack information
by Randy S 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hi all, I have been reading up on openstack as I am completely new to this. I have set up some test systems according to manuals found here and there.Now, I have a question about the possible use of openstack storage. I have seen that the normal provisioning of storage is meant to be for vm's created within openstack itself. This can then be block storage (cinder) or object storage. Can somebody tell me if it is possible to use openstack to provision the same kind of storage to physical servers which are otherwise in no way connected to openstack or virtual machines created in systems like vmware? I hope somebody can asnwer me this and maybe point me the way to test something like this. Thanks in advance, Rgds, Randy
