[openstack-community] Introducing the OpenStack Ambassador Program
by Tom Fifield 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

(This just went up at: http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/) I'm excited to start the discussion on the formation of an OpenStack Ambassador Program, which aims to create a framework of community leaders to sustainably expand the reach of OpenStack around the world. *Why we're doing this* OpenStack is one of the fastest-growing open source projects and communities in history. We are fortunate to have more than fifty user groups globally and many passionate community members who are already making a big impact. We would like to recognize and further empower these community members to achieve the OpenStack mission, as well as provide more structure and resources to the growing community and user groups. In addition, the Foundation has become aware that there's a need to improve the relationship between user groups and itself -- allowing everyone to feel like they're part of a globally connected community. For example, many of you who've been to user group meetups have probably heard feedback from people trying to deploy OpenStack -- it would be excellent to aggregate this feedback from every group to help make our software and community better. *How will this work? * We aim to select -- initially -- a small number of/OpenStack Ambassadors/, asking volunteers who are already respected members of our communities to be the primary point of contact in a particular region. What will the ambassadors do? * Act as a liason between user groups, the Foundation, and the general community, for example: * helping to solicit feedback on OpenStack and aggregate it to the global level * promoting key messages into the user communities (eg "ask questions on ask.openstack.org!") * finding people to help localise content * helping onboard new users and contributors * Assist in user group best practice -- from nurturing new groups to cementing the quality of existing ones * Help people find the 'right people' to talk to * Represent the community via speaking and visibility opportunities with the official title * Report on the activities in their region * Be a good leader, wranging activity from others and mobilising the global OpenStack community! *Who will the Ambassadors be?* The title is designed to recognise those who are already good leaders with a proven track record in the community. With the title, new users, contributors and community members should easily be able to recognize their Ambassador as a go-to resource. While the role provides inherent credibility, it also comes with accountability, meaning decisions and actions made by the Ambassador should benefit the whole community, not just one person or company. We believe that the Ambassadors will already be active participants in our community. Think about those people who are already working across multiple user groups, submitting OpenStack mini-events to related conferences, helping onboard new users and contributors, arranging hackfests or just generally going above and beyond in the name of making Openstack great. To that end, we intend to ask that potential ambassadors provide some information about themselves, namely: * Why are you applying to become an OpenStack Ambassador? * How have you participated in the OpenStack Community to date? * What ideas do you have for your community, that you wish you had time or resources to implement? A small number of ambassadors will then be selected based on a set of criteria: * Community participation track record * Geographical location * Potential impact of selection on community Your feedback would be excellent! Please leave a reply below. Also: for more specifics on the program, and information about becoming an ambassador, stay tuned for the next post.

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013Register> <???????????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> Ambassador Program -- Specifics <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program-specifics/> Following from the previous post <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/>, we've had a range of people express their support for the program and quite a number already looking for the application form! So, some more details about the Ambassador Program. Ambassadors will be recognised on the OpenStack website for their efforts, and provided with support from foundation staff to conduct their duties. They will also get access to a funding program -- allowing them to request funds for activities of impact in their region. We'd also expect ambassadors to attend the summits, and the Foundation would likely assist if it wasn't possible for them to be there using their own methods. How Heat Orchestrates your OpenStack Resources <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/08/29#heat-dependencies> One of the great things about orchestration <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/07/30#openstack-orchestration-introd…> is that it automatically figures out the operations it needs to perform. So whenever you deploy (or modify) your infrastructure you need not write a script to do so; you simply describe the infrastructure you want and the orchestration engine does the rest. Zane Bitter <http://www.zerobanana.com/tags/OpenStack> describes how this works in Heat <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat>. Autoscaling with Heat and Ceilometer <http://techs.enovance.com/5991/autoscaling-with-heat-and-ceilometer> Like AWS CloudFormation, Heat allows to create auto scaling stacks. In order to do this, some metrics need to be retrieved from your VM and some actions need to be triggered when a specified event occurs on these metrics. These actions are usually upscaling (create some new VMs) or downscaling (destroy some Vms). Starting with the Havana version (currently trunk), Ceilometer can now trigger actions when something happens to these metrics by creating alarms. The Heat agent inside the VM is no more needed. Taking OpenStack Core discussions to community <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/27/taking-openstack-core-discussions-to-co…> We've been building up to a broad discussion about the OpenStack Core <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/> and I'd like to invite everyone in the OpenStack community to participate (review latest <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/13/openstack-core-positions/>). Alan Clark (Board Chairman) officially kicked off this open discussion with his post on the OpenStack blog <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/addressing-the-topic-of-core-through-…> last week. And we're trying to have face-to-face events for dialog like the Core meetup tonight in San Francisco <http://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/134495312/>. Look for more to come! Of course, this will also be a topic at the summit <https://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/voting-is-open-help-choose-who-will-…>. The Board needs to move this forward in the November meeting, so NOW is the time to review and give us input. The OpenStack T-Shirt Design Contest Winner is... <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/the-openstack-t-shirt-design-contest-…> Raul Chan's design. Check it out on OpenStack's blog. OpenStack in Production OpenStack Swift & many small files <http://engineering.spilgames.com/openstack-swift-lots-small-files/?utm_sour…> Spil Games has been running Swift for more than two years now, hosting over 400 million files with an average file size of about 50 KB per object. They have a replica count of three so there are*1.2 billion* files to be stored on the object servers. Generally speaking, Swift has turned out to be a solid object storage system. They however run into some performance issues and in a blog post they describe how they analyzed and solved them.

[openstack-community] Online meeting for moderators of Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

hello folks, I and Tom are thinking of organizing an online meeting for moderators of Ask OpenStack. The main intention is to share best practices and in the long term improve the objective of Ask OpenStack: to provide the best place on Internet for people to find solutions (answers) to common problems (questions) related to OpenStack. We would like to go through the existing recommendations on the wiki and do some "live" practice together on existing questions. We're thinking of doing this some time next week. If you're a moderator (have more than 100 karma points), please consider filling in this survey to find a good time for this meeting: http://doodle.com/b7agkwpgk59mdke5 thanks, stef https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

Managing identities in the cloud <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2013/08/managing-identities-in-…> CERN has 11,000 physicists who use the lab's facilities including the central IT department resources. As with any research environment, there are many students, PhDs and other project members who join one of the experiments at CERN. They need to have computing accounts to access CERN's cloud but we also need to make sure these resources are handled correctly when they are no longer affiliated with the organisation.

[openstack-community] Fwd: quantum-server status is dead
by Krzysztof G 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hello, I am trying to deploy openstack on three nodes - (1) controller node, (2) compute node and (3) network node. I am working on CentOS and following this tutorial https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/3/pdf/… Now I am configuring Network Node. Network configuration starts at page 92. Firstly I would like to run quantum-server so I did everything from page 92 to 105. But something is not working. When I do " service quantum-server restart" the result is Stopping quantum: [FAILED] Starting quantum: [ OK ] And it happens all the time, that means that quantum-server works only a short period of time and it comes dead. *When I do* quantum-server --config-file /etc/quantum/quantum.conf --debug --verbose *the logs are as follows* INFO [quantum.service] Quantum service started, listening on 0.0.0.0:9696 2013-08-21 17:50:14 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.raw] SENT[2775e60]: '\x0f\x01\x00\x19\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\n\x01\x00\x07\x00\x010\x01\xff\xff\xff\xff\x0f\x01\x00\ x19\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\n\x01\x00\x07\x00\x010\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01' 2013-08-21 17:51:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.ops] SENT[2775e60]: ConnectionHeartbeat() 2013-08-21 17:51:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.raw] SENT[2775e60]: '\x0f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\n\x00\x00' 2013-08-21 17:51:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.raw] READ[2775e60]: '\x0f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\n\x00\x00' 2013-08-21 17:51:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.ops] RCVD[2775e60]: ConnectionHeartbeat() 2013-08-21 17:52:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.ops] SENT[2775e60]: ConnectionHeartbeat() 2013-08-21 17:52:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.raw] SENT[2775e60]: '\x0f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\n\x00\x00' 2013-08-21 17:52:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.raw] READ[2775e60]: '\x0f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\n\x00\x00' 2013-08-21 17:52:13 DEBUG [qpid.messaging.io.ops] RCVD[2775e60]: ConnectionHeartbeat() **that means that something is working.

[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
