[openstack-community] Automating OpenStack: Join StackStorm’s Online Meetup July 17
by Rafael Knuth 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

In the meetup, our CTO StackStorm co-founder, Dmitri Zimine, will discuss automation approaches and projects within the OpenStack ecosystem. There are over 20 automation projects within OpenStack alone that Dmitri will review and briefly explain, categorize, discuss and request your feedback. Dmitri has had years of experience with automation, being part of the “first wave of operations automation” brought on by Opalis (acquired by Microsoft) where he ran engineering. More recently he has become a core committer and co leader of the Mistral workflow as a service project within OpenStack; we have a short explanation of that project: http://stackstorm.com/2014/07/07/stackstorm-contributing-mistral-build-work… The meetup will cover a variety of OpenStack automation tools, including Mistral, Heat, TaskFlow and Congress, and provide best practices, use cases and benefits of each. You can chat with us during the meetup but if you have any questions, feel free to submit them via Twitter @OpenStack_OM or IRC #OpenStack-Community @Freenode. Below are some more details on how you can join the meetup. See you online! Register for the meetup: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Online-Meetup/events/193478232/ Official hashtag: #OpenStackOM

[openstack-community] OpenStack Groups Portal - readying for tech preview
by Stefano Maffulli 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

hello folks the groups portal is getting closer to its first public appearance in its final form (will soon be at http://groups.openstack.org [1]). The portal is going to replace the content on the wiki page, that list of known user groups will be instead a nice interactive and constantly updated map. Besides the map, the portal sports a very nice list of events pulled from each group hosted on meetup.com. Visitors to the site will be able to see the list of known events on http://groups.openstack.org/events The map and the searchable database of user groups is built out of a json file hosted on: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups-static-pages Static pages are going to be managed through git, too, as simple markdown files. For example, see the proposed Code of Conduct https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98205/ And how that would look like once merged: http://groups-dev.openstack.org/tips/hackaton-howto The whole system is fully published on: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups FAQ: ---- Q - If it's based on Drupal, why are you using git for pages? A - Drupal's workflow management and users/roles are quite complex to setup and we wanted to go live as rapidly as possible. Since we had already setup a module capable of importing markdown content we thought of using the well tested workflow based on gerrit and git-review. We will consider implementing the natural Drupal-based workflow in the future. Q - you seem to be importing events only from meetup.com. Can you add more sources? A - Yes, as long as they come in a standard format. Let's talk. Q - How do I add a new group? How do I amend the details for an existing group? A - File a patch to the json file mentioned above (until we have a different method) Q - I spotted a bug, where do I file it? A - Good question. We're considering using storyboard.openstack.org but until we announce differently please file bugs on https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-community [1] as soon as https://review.openstack.org/#/c/104332/ is approved [2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackUserGroups -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

[openstack-community] User deendayal3786 spamming ask.o.o
by Steve Gordon 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hi all, It looks like user deendayal3786 [1] is spamming ask.o.o this morning, I closed a few but new ones are popping up. Does anyone have the ability to block/ban? Also wondering if there should be some tighter spam control to prevent this number of questions being posted in X minutes of each other. Thanks, Steve [1] https://ask.openstack.org/en/users/6619/deendayal3786/
