Re: [openstack-community] [User-committee] [OpenStack Marketing][openstack-dev] difference between Nebula Cosmos software and OpenStack
by Qing He 09 Jul '13

I'm wondering what is lacking in OpenStack so that people would still need Nebula Cosmos software to build their private cloud?

[openstack-community] qyjohn's quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source projects is out
by Atwood, Mark 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi! Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q2 http://www.qyjohn.net/?=3297 It’s in Chinese, but he typically publishes an English translation a few days later. Short summary of OpenStack’s position: We are still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors. The data sources for discussion thread metrics for OpenStack are https://lists.openstack.net/openstack/ https://answers.launchpad.net/openstack/ http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/*/ https://ask.openstack.org/ Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention? His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects. Share and enjoy. ..m Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director of Open Source Engagement for HP Cloud Services M +1-206-473-7118

[openstack-community] usage of openstack information
by Randy S 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hi all, I have been reading up on openstack as I am completely new to this. I have set up some test systems according to manuals found here and there.Now, I have a question about the possible use of openstack storage. I have seen that the normal provisioning of storage is meant to be for vm's created within openstack itself. This can then be block storage (cinder) or object storage. Can somebody tell me if it is possible to use openstack to provision the same kind of storage to physical servers which are otherwise in no way connected to openstack or virtual machines created in systems like vmware? I hope somebody can asnwer me this and maybe point me the way to test something like this. Thanks in advance, Rgds, Randy
