[openstack-community] OpenStack Groups Portal - Update 2013-13-10
by Stefano Maffulli 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hello folks, another status update from this project. The site is almost ready for a preview and two last things are missing: - the scripts to allow continuous deployment and integration in production - the integration with the OpenID provider Marton is going to be working on them this coming week so hopefully we'll have the site ready to be tested more widely soon. The official OpenStack OpenID provider should be ready for testing soon but if we can't get that this week we will start testing with Launchpad. We've received already an offer from the Drupal community to help us with the integration with meetup.com. I am drafting a blueprint here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-community/+spec/osugportal-meetu… The idea is to not to force existing users of meetup.com to move away from it while we still allow for groups.openstack.org to be the place where people can find *all* activities related to openstack anywhere in the world. What sort of use cases would you like to see for this integration with meetup.com? Let me know. If you want to start getting familiar with the upcoming portal check out the development site http://groups-dev.openstack.org/ and the git repository http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups. Marton is mrkiss on IRC, I'm reed if you have any questions. Cheers, stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

[openstack-community] OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup is tomorrow, Wed 12/4 in Portland
by DetaCloud OpenStack 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

As you may recall, a company called VMware started the virtualization revolution last decade to allow for better utilization of faster computer hardware. While the company focused on developing its market share, a book seller named Amazon took the industry by surprise and built the world's largest Public Cloud using freely available alternatives. It was swift, and it embarrassed the largest players in the technology sector. The only way for a fragmented industry to fight back was to agree on embracing an open source option. In 2010, OpenStack which was originally developed by NASA, was ready to meet the challenge. Most leading companies like IBM, HP, Intel, Rackspace, etc. invested in its development to offer an alternative. This ground-breaking open-source platform has grown. It passed through Portland last April and continued on to taking the world by storm in Hong Kong early this month. Join industry influencers and RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest to learn about the most fundamental technology transformation of our lifetime, and why you should really pay attention. Where: Puppet Labs, 926 NW 13th Ave #210, Portland, OR. When: Wednesday Dec 4 @ 6:30 pm Follow @DetaCloud and #OSNW on Twitter for livestream/recording link. Sponsored by DetaCloud and Puppet Labs, this meetup caters to both the industry curious and technology professionals. Following a short introduction, we will describe the lay of the land, why OpenStack, how it works and what's new in the latest release, Havana, and finally, automation with Puppet.

[openstack-community] [Ambassador] Continuing our discussion on-list
by Tom Fifield 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi Ambassadors (and interested friends), It's time to continue our discussions of yore on the mailing list, as promised. Attached is Colin's brainstorming diagram, and below is the text mentioned that "Tom has". One of the first things we need to work out is how we're going to manage comms. Suggestions so far have been: * an ambassador@...openstack... alias that goes to every ambassador ** This could be implemented using a new mailing list, or perhaps by making a queue on the existing support ticket system * regional aliases (ambassador-{apac, eu, us}@...openstack...), that ambassadors in those regions can use in preference to their personal email address when listing on websites, and share the load between multiple ambassadors * ... Regards, Tom Problems: * The lack of a defined communications structure results in a lack of information coming from the communities – be it feedback from users, requests for assistance or content, promotion of local deployments and activities, adoption rates etc * User Group leaders are not supported to promote the aims of the foundation and OpenStack * Many User Groups are at low levels of maturity, which can result in a poor experience for attendees * There is only a small facility for community leaders to participate with their global counterparts Objectives: 1. Creation of structured communication between the Foundation, global OpenStack community and the members and associates of user groups worldwide, providing insight into regional activity while spreading key messages 2. Increased amount of contributors to activities related to localisation, such as translation 3. Increased quality of user groups 4. Increased accessibility of participation in governance activities 5. A gained understanding of user group funding needs, with increased ability to provision funds where most impact is seen 6. Increased adoption of OpenStack, and strengthening of the OpenStack brand
