[openstack-community] Runners in Hong Kong?
by Dave Neary 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi all, I'm getting ready for a race at the beginning of December and am planning to get in a couple of runs in the hills during the week of OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong - I've been told the trails in Lantau are gorgeous, and well worth the effort. Anyone else interested in some early morning runs? I'd be happy to have some company (you'll probably need a headlamp). Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

[openstack-community] Passes for foundation sponsors?
by Rich Bowen 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this. My manager, who lives in mainland china, may be coming over for Summit, and asked if there are any passes available for people from sponsor/member organization (Red Hat) so that he can attend the event while he's in town. Thanks. --Rich -- Rich Bowen OpenStack Community Liaison http://openstack.redhat.com/

[openstack-community] Chrome Extension for OpenStack
by citcta cloud 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi All, I am developing a small utility program in the form of chrome extension (with basic functionality) for open stack. hosted at https://github.com/vengadanathan/OpenStackChrome It has the following facilities , 1.Listing Servers running 2.List host's running and their current resource utilization as ratio. 3.Alert system to monitor and give desktop notification whenever resource utilization of hosts are above threshold specified by user. Planned to add many functionality to it , the product is still under Alpa. Created this to provide administrators an ease in checking status of a openstack network and its status i.e resource usage etc in a single click. Hoping to hear some suggestions regarding this.
