Hi, After a lot of work, we launched this week the OpenStack community site for the Netherlands, www.openstack.nl<http://www.openstack.nl>. At the same time we also managed to organise two OpenStack Bootcamps at HQ of Cisco. They are sponsoring this one day bootcamp with hardware and room facilities, Fairbanks is the host and knowledge partner for this event. People that are interested can join the bootcamp at the meetup group www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Netherlands. We also setup a Linkedin group, OpenStack Netherlands<http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=4179161&trk=anet_ug_hm>, for the community, having already more then 1100 members. Feel free to have a look and let us know what you think. Kind regards Eric Kessels | CTO, Fairbanks NV Tel: +31 (033)-450 85 85 | Mob: +31 (0) 620594135 | Fax: +31 (033)-450 85 80 Website(s): www.fairbanks.nl<http://www.fairbanks.nl/> | www.openstack.nl<http://www.openstack.nl/> Volg ons: Twitter<https://twitter.com/#!/FairbanksCloud> | Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/FairbanksCloud> | Linkedin<http://www.linkedin.com/company/fairbanks>

OpenStack 2014: Powered by Users <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-2014-powered-by-users/> If momentum is any indication, 2014 is poised to be a defining year for OpenStack. All of our vital statistics, from community growth to code commits and tracked deployments, doubled in 2013, and all signs point to continued growth. As we start a new year, we in the OpenStack Foundation are putting our resources behind elevating the voice of OpenStack users and tightening the feedback loop between users and developers to influence decisions such as the scope of the project, new feature priorities, interoperability requirements and operational best practices. New Foundation Gold Members & Sponsors <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/new-foundation-gold-members-sponsors/> The OpenStack Foundation is thrilled to have new additions to our ecosystem. Three new Gold Members and 18 Corporate Sponsors have recently joined the incredible list of companies who are supporting the Foundation and driving innovation on the platform. *Aptira <http://www.aptira.com/>*, *Huawei* <http://www.huawei.com/> and *Hitachi* <http://www.hitachi.com/> won the OpenStack Board’s approval at the November board meeting and joined the Foundation as Gold members, which requires a strong, strategic commitment to the technology and community. We’ve also seen amazing support in Corporate Sponsorship and we want to share the impressive list of recent additions. OpenStack Commitment to Interoperability <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-commitment-to-interoperabil…> Now that OpenStack has tons of users, we need to make sure all (downstream) products labeled “OpenStack” have a certain set of*core capabilities*, and we need to verify those with *automated tests* just like we do upstream. End-users should be our focus, and ensuring they get what they want and expect out of the platform once it’s running as a service is paramount. The goal is to define the first set of tests in time for the May 2014 Summit in Atlanta. If this matters to you, get involved!

17 Jan '14

Our OpenStack Northwest User Group http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest is getting very popular very quickly. About 60 stackers attended last meetup in Portland where presenters from DetaCloud, DreamHost, SwiftStack and EMC focused on OpenStack storage. Next meetup is scheduled for Feb 5 and the focus this time is on networking. We are looking for speakers who can discuss SDN, Neutron, OVS, ML2, OpenFlow, Nicira, etc. Please find me on Twitter @alkari if you are developing or implementing any of these technologies and like to present them to our user group, hopefully you are in Portland on that date (or if you'd like to visit Portland - the snow is awesome on Mt. Hood if you're into that). Join us if you're in town Feb 5th.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup this Wed Jan 8 in Portland
by Al Kari (DetaCloud) 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup in Portland Wednesday Jan 8, 2014 @ 6:00PM PDT Jama Software (South) 334 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/ Some of the core contributors, developers and implementers of OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org> are flying over to Portland to bring you the latest and greatest in Cloud storage. And generous sponsors are buying us dinner and beer. This meetup is quickly growing to be one of the most interesting events in the Northwest for those wanting to stay on top of advancement in the future of computing. Meetup Agenda 6:00 - 6:30 - Check in, pizza, beer and networking 6:30 - 7:00 - Introduction, OpenStack and your career - Al Kari (DetaCloud <http://www.detacloud.com> ) Accelerate your career and increase your value to your current or potential employers. Learn about shortcuts to quickly acquire some of the hottest skills in Cloud computing. 7:00 - 7:45 - OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) - Mike Perez (DreamHost <http://www.dreamhost.com> ) Today there are many different storage solutions to choose from. It can be overwhelming from a cloud provider's perspective to offer many options for their users, let alone provide a consistent set of tools with each vendor offering their own interface. The OpenStack Block Storage project Cinder provides an API to talk to many different vendor solutions, in which other applications or OpenStack programs can talk to. We'll first examine the difference between block and object storage. That'll lead us into having an introduction to Cinder, and an opportunity to review the architecture, vendor driver plugin model, current features, and upcoming features for the IceHouse release. 7:45 - 8:15 - OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) - Richard Raseley (for SwiftStack <http://www.swiftstack.com> ) This presentation will provide an overview of the OpenStack object storage platform "Swift", its history, contributors, example use cases, and features 8:15 - 8:45 - EMC and OpenStack - Jeremy Keen - (EMC <http://www.emc.com> ) As a Corporate Sponsor of OpenStack, EMC has contributed Cinder drivers for VNX, VMAX, and most recently ViPR. EMC ViPR is a lightweight, software-only solution that transforms your existing storage environment into a simple, extensible and open platform, that can deliver fully automated storage services and realize the full potential of the Software-Defined Data Center. ViPR includes an open source Cinder driver as well as an object storage engine with Swift and Amazon S3 APIs. We will dive into the integration of ViPR and OpenStack and learn about methods for delivering IT-as-a-Service while avoiding storage vendor lock-in. 8:45 - 9:00 - OPEN MIKE (YOU) Working on an interesting project, or have an idea to share with the group? Maybe you have a question or an announcement to make. Here's your chance. About the speakers: Al Kari - After 6 years of leading Cloud Computing services at Dell, Al Co-Founded DetaCloud to advocate for building the future of Open Cloud. He is a standing member in the Cloud Advisory Council, the Linux Professional Institute and the OpenStack Foundation Mike Perez is a Core developer of the OpenStack Block Storage project Cinder and Senior Software Engineer at DreamHost. His primary responsibilities are contributing Cinder, and managing the storage needs of DreamHost's public cloud DreamCompute. He has written v2 of Cinder's API, and is currently working on v3 Richard Raseley is an Infrastructure and Tooling Engineer at Puppet Labs and a standing member of the OpenStack Foundation.
