Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/> There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/> (OpenStack) Anita Kuno <http://anteaya.info/>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/> There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

[openstack-community] Speakers for an OpenStack meetup
by Nicolae Paladi 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hey everyone, I've read recently on this mailing list about an idea of a "speakers list" for the meetups and wonder if there has been any progress on that. we're in the process of organizing a first OpenStack meetup in Stockholm<http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/> in April and I was wondering about getting some keynote speakers that have some visibility within the community to kick-start the event. Can you suggest any names that I could contact? regards, /Nico.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Jan 11 – 18)

Highlights of the week My first week at OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/my-first-week-at-openstack/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> is one of the three interns working on OpenStack under the Outreach Program for Women (OPW –Anne Gentle shared some details about the program before.) She will be working on Tenant Deletion Workflow <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/tenant-deletion> in the next months. This first blog post about OpenStack contains lots of good advice for any developer joining the community: a must read, for experienced developers, hiring managers and newcomers to this great community. Ceilometer Grizzly 2 Milestone Available <http://blog.doughellmann.com/2013/01/ceilometer-grizzly-2-milestone-availab…> The Ceilometer team is proud to announce the first synchronous milestone delivery with the OpenStack <http://openstack.org/> project. Grizzly-2 <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/+milestone/grizzly-2> is also the last Folsom compatible version of Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> as we are planning to introduce some breaking changes very soon in our trunk to enable a totally new set of features bringing Ceilometer beyond basic metering into monitoring and alerting. How many people does one need to build a multi-region cloud? <http://freedomhui.com/2013/01/stacklabhow-many-people-it-needs-to-build-a-m…> Hui Cheng describes in details the StackLab project. Spearheaded by Sina, Intel, Gamewave, Xi’an Jiaotong University, South China University of Technology and others, it’s a non profit platform to try and test OpenStack. Sina’s OpenStack development team was responsible for the development, operations, and go online initially. More volunteers have joined the effort and are actively being recruited to get involved to this great career, which will accelerate OpenStack popularizing in China. An Image Transfers Service For OpenStack <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-f…> John Bresnahan <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/> makes the case for a new transfer service component in OpenStack. IaaS clouds must transfer VM images from the repositories in which they reside to compute nodes where they are booted. In the current state of OpenStack images download via HTTP to a nova-compute client speaking to the Glance image service. In the future proposed by John a transfers service would provide more predictable quality of service with horizontal scalability. Check his idea. Ceilomenter is looking for volunteers to take on unassigned blueprints <http://lists.openstack/> The team is about to start implementing the blueprints for the g3 milestone, there are few blueprints which still don’t have anyone assigned to them. If you are looking for something useful to code, head over to see the list of things that you could be working on. Remember that contributions during the Grizzly lifecycle will get you a free ticket to the OpenStack Summit.

[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

[openstack-community] Announcing the Spring 2013 OpenStack Summit in Portland
by Claire Massey 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '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!
