[openstack-community] [upstream] Upstream Training prep, live assistance, and mentoring
by Tim Freund 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Hi Everyone - We'll open registration for the Tokyo Upstream training soon, and we're doing something a little different this time: we are pairing students with mentors right away and allowing them to work through some of the technical details of OpenStack contribution before class begins. To do that, we need to fill our roster of Upstream mentors! We need people who are willing to mentor students via IRC and email before and after the class that occurs on October 25th and 26th, and we also need people who can be with us in Tokyo to help students complete hands on exercises. Please fill out the following form if you can help in either role: http://goo.gl/forms/fczq3NZ16g Our students will be looking for bugs tagged as low-hanging-fruit, so you can also help by tagging such bugs appropriately in Launchpad. If you're unfamiliar with Upstream training, and you'd like to learn more, we have basic course information and a complete training schedule on the wiki[1]. You can read about our Vancouver training session in Superuser[2]. [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Training [2] http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/what-building-legos-can-teach-you-a… Please direct additional questions or comments to the community(a)lists.openstack.org list with the [upstream] tag. You can also reach out to me directly. Thanks for your help! Tim -- Tim Freund 913-207-0983 | @timfreund http://tim.freunds.net

Actually, right now I'm working on an article that talks about the selection process and proposes possibly moving towards something closer to the one used by scientific conferences. I would be very interested in hearing from people on both sides of the issue. I'm actually trying to get this out today, so please feel free to reach out to me offline as well. Thanks! ---- Nick .

[openstack-community] Status of Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Hello folks, I'd like to recap the status of Ask OpenStack, one of the most visited web properties in openstack.org domain. TL;DR The project needs lots of love if we want it to survive. Volunteers are needed to drive its progress. I had a long roadmap for that project, from implementing new languages (Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese to start) to improve the spam filters, improve the UI/UX, etc but all those requests had to wait for two major work: 1) complete the OpenStackID provider so that Ask OpenStack could use it 2) upgrade the code to newer upstream releases At turn, these 2 work items depended on putting Ask fully under openstack-infra umbrella. That took almost a year but finally that the project's infrastructure is finally fully managed via a puppet module http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-askbot/ The software is consumed directly upstream from https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel and the html skin is pulled from http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/askbot-theme/ So all the pieces are now in place for the roadmap to resume progressing. Issue is that I don't have time anymore to drive that effort. There are issues open that haven't been addressed. The spam/moderation issues are the most pressing ones. The list of open issues is on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-community/+bugs?field.tag=askproject I hope that someone can step up to take ownership of this project and drive it forward, considering that the Foundation has in place a contract with the main developer of Askbot that can be leveraged. Cheers, stef

[openstack-community] Summit CFP/Scheduling software
by Rich Bowen 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

The folks at FLOCK were wondering if the software that OpenStack Summit uses to collect and vote on the CFP is 1) FOSS and 2) generalizable to other events, or is it too OSSummit-specific to be used elsewhere? Anyone know who I should be talking to? -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com OpenStack Community Liaison http://rdoproject.org/
