by Claire Massey 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Hi everyone, The schedule for the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Tokyo <https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/> is now available! SCHEDULE: https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/schedule/ There are two views for the Summit schedule. The Main Conference view is what the vast majority of attendees should use. Active Technical Contributors and operators who contribute to the Mitaka release cycle should use the Design Summit + Main Conference view of the Summit schedule. MOBILE APP In the coming weeks the schedule mobile app will also be available for download. We will notify the community at that time. If you attended the Vancouver Summit then you can simply update the same mobile app to use for the Tokyo Summit. SPEAKER NOTIFICATIONS If you submitted a talk - check your email. Everyone who submitted a speaking proposal for the Summit will soon receive an email notification to let them know whether or not their talk is accepted. The email sent to selected speakers contains next steps and a Summit speaker registration code. Each speaker is responsible for registering themselves to attend the Summit. Please make sure your colleagues read the email and complete this step. Contact summit(a)openstack.org with any questions. We’ll see you in Tokyo in two months. Cheers, Claire

[openstack-community] Status of Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Hello folks, I'd like to recap the status of Ask OpenStack, one of the most visited web properties in openstack.org domain. TL;DR The project needs lots of love if we want it to survive. Volunteers are needed to drive its progress. I had a long roadmap for that project, from implementing new languages (Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese to start) to improve the spam filters, improve the UI/UX, etc but all those requests had to wait for two major work: 1) complete the OpenStackID provider so that Ask OpenStack could use it 2) upgrade the code to newer upstream releases At turn, these 2 work items depended on putting Ask fully under openstack-infra umbrella. That took almost a year but finally that the project's infrastructure is finally fully managed via a puppet module http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-askbot/ The software is consumed directly upstream from https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel and the html skin is pulled from http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/askbot-theme/ So all the pieces are now in place for the roadmap to resume progressing. Issue is that I don't have time anymore to drive that effort. There are issues open that haven't been addressed. The spam/moderation issues are the most pressing ones. The list of open issues is on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-community/+bugs?field.tag=askproject I hope that someone can step up to take ownership of this project and drive it forward, considering that the Foundation has in place a contract with the main developer of Askbot that can be leveraged. Cheers, stef

[openstack-community] Summit CFP/Scheduling software
by Rich Bowen 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

The folks at FLOCK were wondering if the software that OpenStack Summit uses to collect and vote on the CFP is 1) FOSS and 2) generalizable to other events, or is it too OSSummit-specific to be used elsewhere? Anyone know who I should be talking to? -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com OpenStack Community Liaison http://rdoproject.org/

[openstack-community] [infra] ask.openstack.org offline for upgrade
by Jeremy Stanley 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Marton and I are taking the ask.openstack.org site offline for a couple hours to move it to a new server running a more recent OS, and upgrading the version of Askbot running on it so that support for Google authentication can be restored soon. The server should be offline no more than a couple hours, so expect to find it up and running again by 18:30 UTC. -- Jeremy Stanley

Re: [openstack-community] Setting up Upstream Training in Tokyo [upstream]

Using Trello to manage the student intake and mentoring seemed to work last time, so I created a new Trello board to manage the planning process: https://trello.com/b/VsS5MMPs The board is public, but only members can edit. I will add anyone interested in planning and implementation to the board -- just reply to this thread. If you have already volunteered on this thread, you will be added shortly after I send this email. I'm sure I've missed some steps on the board, so please add or edit as necessary. If you've never used Trello before, you can double-click any item to add additional detail on the back of the card. Thank you!
