[openstack-community] Date Correction: OpenStack Northwest User Group Meetup this Thu Mar 20 in Portland
by Al Kari (DetaCloud) 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

OpenStack + Ceph = A match made in heaven Thursday Mar 20, 2014 @ 6:30PM PST Jama Software (South) 334 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR You don't get too many second chances in life, but if you missed Ian Colle's presentation in Denver this February, and you happen to be in Portland on March 20th, then you're in luck. Ian is the Director of Engineering at Inktank, the company delivering Inktank Ceph Enterprise. He will be flying over to discuss Ceph integration with OpenStack at a deep technical level, and also for the beer. Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Ceph offers a Swift and S3-compatible REST API for seamless data access, a network block device for large images or volumes, and native support for Qemu/KVM, libvirt, CloudStack, and OpenStack which makes it quite a versatile storage platform. Join us for a walkthrough of the Ceph architecture, its current status, how it integrates with OpenStack, and plans for future development. Prior to Inktank, Ian held positions in Intel's High Performance Data Division and Whamcloud's High Performance Computing team. He is an avid trail runner who thinks running up the sides of mountains is an enjoyable way to exercise. Please RSVP so we can ensure food and drinks are adequate. See you then. http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/events/164592302/ Follow #OSNW on Twitter for livestream/recording links.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Summit proposal voting - not a fan
by Dave Neary 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi all, Rather than just complain into the ether, I wanted to let people know why I don't like the voting process for conference proposals and see if I'm the only one. I don't think that the voting process is the best way to gauge whether proposals will be good for the conference. There are a few reasons for that: * Having to hawk & promote proposal(s) is kind of unseemly, and makes us look small, I think. Hundreds of people going "vote for me!" doesn't make us look good. * Some people don't want to pitch themselves, others don't have access to as big a platform to promote * The same issues exist with this system which exist with board voting - there is a possibility that people will vote for their colleagues, not out of any corruption, but just because no-one has time to rate all the proposals, and they're more likely to rate those submitted by people they know more highly * Also, it's a self-selecting group of people who rate proposals - I don't think voters will be representative of summit attendees * After all is said and done, the proposals which are chosen by the voters are guidelines to the people who choose the talks for the tracks, the track leaders I have been a track leader for the last number of summits, and I've seen first hand great presentations get very low numbers of votes, while others which are not as interesting get very high numbers of votes and high ratings. Personally, I would be happy if we could change the system to remove the "pimp my talk" aspect for Summits. 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] 2 Pavilion pods available at Gartner IT Infrastructure and Data Center Conference in Sydney
by Kathy Cacciatore 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

OpenStack and eight community members were successful at this conference in December in Las Vegas. Each collected a smaller number of contacts than at a typical event, but much higher quality. This Gartner conference attracts the perfect audience for us. We're excited to be expanding our presence at Gartner events in a similar Pavilion with a theater, in Sydney, May 21-22. Four community members are already committed. There are two spots left. The cost is about 10,000 AUD (approx $9,000 US), and includes a pod, two 15-20 minute theater presentations/demos, logo/url on the web site, a 1-1 analyst meeting, a full conference pass, booth staff passes, and more. Please reply to me, kathyc(a)openstack.org, if interested. Thank you. -- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

Why you should be reviewing more OpenStack code <https://dague.net/2014/02/28/why-you-should-be-reviewing-more-openstack-cod…> Icehouse 3 is upon us, and as someone that is on a bunch of core review teams, it means a steady drum beat of everyone asking how do they get core reviewers to review their code. Sean Dague explains quite well why you should be doing code reviews. Trusted Cloud computing with Intel TXT: The challenge <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/> In today’s connected environments, attacks on compute infrastructure are ubiquitous. Major players have been compromised by hackers and malware, with damages inflicted both to their reputation and their business. Protecting the infrastructure from external and internal threats is an important part of operating production grade cloud environments. Christian Huebner <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/> introduces how OpenStack integrates with TXT. Our Cloud in Havana <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-cloud-in-havana.html> Upgrading a nearly 50,000 core cloud from Grizzly to Havana can be done with a series of steps, each of which can have short periods of reduced functionality but with constant VM availability. Tim Bell <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/> tells us how CERN upgraded its OpenStack cloud. Status of the OpenStack port to Python 3 <http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2> Python 3 has been around for about 5 years, and we have excellent reasons <http://techs.enovance.com/6521/openstack_python3> to make sure OpenStack runs well on it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In his article, Cyril Roelandt <http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2> explains what works, what doesn’t, and what *you* can do to help.
