[openstack-community] Openstack Netherlands Meetup
by Alessandro Vozza 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

We launched the first Openstack community in The Netherlands: www.meetup.com/Openstack-Amsterdam and we're planning the first meetup (an installation party nonetheless) the day of Havana release ( www.meetup.com/Openstack-Amsterdam/events/137087002/). The interest is at an all-time high, and we think it's about time The Netherlands have her own community around Openstack; we're looking forward to the coming months to build a fun and educational experience open to everyone. -- ______________ www.meetup.com/Openstack-Amsterdam

OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove)will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (Marconi) and bare-metal server provisioning (Ironic) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release. MapReduce as a service <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/25#savanna-incubation> (Savanna) will also be incubated. How to Use Ask OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/how-to-use-ask-openstack/> We're continuously building together "The best place on the Internet to find answers to common OpenStack problems": our Question&Answers site Ask <https://ask.openstack.org/>OpenStack <https://ask.openstack.org/> is such place and needs everybody's help. Ask OpenStack is a collaborative effort, think of it like a wiki where pages are made only of questions and answers. Anybody with more than 100 karma points can fix a question or an answer and anybody can gain karma points by getting votes on answers and/or questions. Introducing the NNFI scheduler for Zuul <http://amo-probos.org/post/16> We recently made a change to Zuul's scheduling algorithm (how it determines which changes to combine together and run tests). Now when a change fails tests (or has a merge conflict), Zuul will move it out of the series of changes that it is stacking together to be tested, but it will still keep that change's position in the queue. Jobs for changes behind it will be restarted without the failed change in their proposed repo states. And if something later fails ahead of it, Zuul will once again put it back into the stream of changes it's testing and give it another chance.

by Ying Chun Guo 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, all We will have the I18n team meeting at 0000 UTC on Sep. 19th in the IRC channel #openstack-meeting. We will focus on the Horizon I18n in this meeting, and address below topics: Action items from the last meeting Horizon translation progress report The merging time and criteria of Horizon translations Design summit session proposals in I18n areas Open discussion We have made a good progress on Horizon I18n now. From the dashboard of Transifex, we can see 4 languages translations (Japanese, Simple Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil),English (Australia)) of Horizon are almost 100% completed, 5 languages translations (Korean, French, Polish, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese) are more than 50% completed. There are a big number of languages, e.g. Czech, Finnish, Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, and German, which have a good start now. We also ran the I18n test of Horizon and reported 12 bugs around I18n during the passed two weeks. Havana release will come soon. If we work together on a final sprint, we can make a good internationalized OpenStack Dashboard in this release. If you have interests or questions or problems around Horizon I18n, welcome to join the meeting. If the time is not appropriate for you, welcome to join the mailing list: openstack-i18n(a)lists.openstack.org and discuss with I18n team. Our wiki is here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/I18nTeam The Transifex website is here: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/ Welcome to join. Regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
