[openstack-community] oVirt workshop coming up in Sunnyvale, California
by Dave Neary 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi everyone, There's an oVirt workshop being held in Sunnyvale, California, on 22-24 January 2013, which I thought might be of interest to many here. http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 - you can register free for the event at http://ovirtnetapp2013.eventbrite.com/ For those who don't know, oVirt is a datacenter virtualisation project, which is the upstream project for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation (think open source vSphere and you're not far off). There are a few OpenStack specific topics on the agenda - including one session specifically on Quantum and oVirt, and another session ("oVirt Roadmap") on the oVirt project roadmap, which will explore other potential integration points between oVirt and OpenStack (VDSM or oVirt drivers for Nova, integration of Glance into oVirt, etc). There is also BOF space available on day 3 where I would love to see a BOF exploring potential integration and co-operation between the projects. I wasn't sure if this would be on-topic for the list, so I checked with Stefano first - please do let me know if this kind of event is off-topic, and I'll abstain in the future. I thought that there was sufficient overlap both in technology and project scope that some of you would be interested, or perhaps just curious. Thanks! I look forward to seeing some of you there. Regards, Dave Neary. -- 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

Hi everyone, I think many of you have heard, but we've officially locked down the Oregon Convention Center, April 15-18, in Portland for the OpenStack Spring 2013 Summit. As usual, we’ll have a variety of content and tracks, ranging from user stories and technical deep dives to hands-on workshops. If you’d like to submit a presentation, panel or workshop, the call for speakers is now open and will close February 15. http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/call-for-speakers If you are interested in submitting a session for the Design Summit, a special track planning the development work to be implemented in the “H” release, there will be a separate system opening closer to the Grizzly feature freeze and closing after the Grizzly release in April. Summit attendees will again vote on speaking submissions to help determine which presentations are the best fit for our Spring Summit. We’ll also have subject matter experts serving as track chairs to make sure all of our audiences are well-served. If you are interested in being a track chair, please send me a note. The voting system will open on February 18, with the goal of locking the agenda by March 11. Event registration and discount hotel rates will be available the week of January 14. We will again be sending free Summit registration codes to Active Technical Contributors who contributed to the Folsom release up to the Grizzly-3 milestone (February 21). Please check your email and the site for more details and instructions as they become available. http://www.openstack.org/summit For an idea of what to expect, check out our recap video from the Fall 2012 OpenStack Summit that was held in San Diego: http://youtu.be/mbcC8Frb_Hc Please mark your calendars and plan to attend – we look forward to seeing you in Portland!

Highlights of the week -- Holiday edition Happy holidays from the whole team at the OpenStack Foundation. We wish you a merry time to spend with your beloved ones. DevStack on openSUSE, or how to quickly setup OpenStack on openSUSE <http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2012/12/21/DevStack-on-openSUSE%2C-or-how…> DevStack is a set of shell scripts to build complete OpenStack development environments. It is useful to create a small OpenStack environment that will be used for hacking, testing, etc. and is therefore primarily used for upstream development. Vincent Untz got DevStack to work on openSUSE. Ten Useful Openstack Swift Features <http://www.17od.com/2012/12/19/ten-useful-openstack-swift-features/> Adrian Smith goes through some of the new features introduced in Swift 1.7.5 and their implication. If you want to learn about CORS support <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/misc.html#cors-headers>, Etag, Object versioning and other nice features read his post. Introducing OpenStack Packstack <http://goodsquishy.com/2012/12/introducing-openstack-packstack/> Derek Higgins developed a tool that is capable of installing OpenStack in a distributed environment using some of the most common configurations. Packstack can be used to transform Fedora 17/18, RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 servers into a functional Openstack Folsom deployment. The tool ssh's onto each server and apply's puppet manifests to set openstack up. On his blog post Derek outlines how to use his Packstack on Fedora 17. A look at individual membership in the OpenStack Foundation <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-look-at-individual-membership-in-the-opensta…> It's no secret that I like numbers and charts. If you like them too, then David Fishman's post is a must read for the holidays. Davide took a snapshot of the membership of the OpenStack Foundation using the publicly available data. Who are these people and what are their affiliations? What if anything does it say about the use and uptake of OpenStack cloud? What doesn't it say? And, like any data, what other useful questions does it raise? Remember that the OpenStack Foundation elections are coming <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/> and the holidays may be a good time to get to know the candidates <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/CandidateList> for the Board of Directors. An <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…>Introduction To OpenStack <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…> Martin Paulo introduced OpenStack to a new group of people.
