Dear all, starting today the OpenStack Planet aggregator on http://planet.openstack.org will become the main tool for community members (individual and companies) to disseminate information about OpenStack. The feed from the Planet is featured on openstack.org home page and it's an important source of information for the weekly newsletter. The OpenStack blog at http://www.openstack.org/blog will be reserved for official communication by OpenStack Foundation only. The instructions to add blogs to the OpenStack Planet are published on the wiki https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/AddingYourBlog. The folks at Hastexo also have published comprehensive instructions, starting from how to create a blog <http://www.hastexo.com/blogs/florian/2013/07/09/so-you-want-be-openstack-bl…> and offer to help new bloggers. If you're not familiar with the Gerrit review workflow, please send the OpenStack RSS/Atom feed of your blog to communitymngr(a)openstack.org with an image to have it included in the Planet.

OpenStack is a Gold Sponsor of [http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudopen-north-america] LinuxCon/CloudOpen North America in September. We have a booth there and are looking for OpenStack developers to help staff it during these hours: Monday, September 16, 9am - 7:30pm Tuesday, September 17, 9am - 4pm LinuxCon/CloudOpen events are some of my favorites. They offer the opportunity to talk with fantastic developers, listen to exciting keynote speakers (including our own Jonathan Bryce), and attend relevant technical sessions. Not to mention the great evening parties in New Orleans - one of the most fun cities in the world. I'll confirm up to 8 volunteers so each will have just a few hours of booth duty. We'll provide full conference passes so you can enjoy everything the event has to offer. I will send registration and hotel information with your confirmation. Please reply to me directly if you can help out. Thank you very much. -- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

As a good steward of this process he has successfully managed to be an objective listener <http://web.missouri.edu/%7Ecampbellr/Leadership/chapter6.htm>. In the recent post in the series, he expresses his point of view. This is one of the most important conversations for the OpenStack Foundation and it's happening now. Flavors -- An English perspective <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2013/08/flavors-english-perspec…> OpenStack has the capability to define flavors of virtual machines, how many cores, swap, disk and memory. As a native UK English speaker, Tim Bell finds the term /flavor/ to already be a problem. In his post describing how flavors are used at CERN he appeals to the OpenStack technical committee to not accept any term which is not the same in US and UK English or to allow an alias. His post has lots of other interesting information, too.

[openstack-community] summit talk proposal "The role of the community managers in the OpenStack community"
by Atwood, Mark 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi! I have submitted a presentation abstract for the upcoming summit in Hong Kong, titled "The role of the community managers in the OpenStack community". http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/become-a-sp… One of the interesting things about the OpenStack project is in addition the excellent work being done by Stephano working for the Foundation, many of the participating organizations have community managers, directors of engagement, and other such people in such roles also engaged with the project and with the community. I don't want to be the only guy on stage. In fact, if we can make it a panel discussion of all the community managers, that would be best, and would be a better and more useful presentation. Who else is interested in signing up as a co-presenter, and making this a panel? ..m
