Naming N and O Release Now <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076327.html> Sean Dague suggests since we already have the locations for N and O summits, we should start the name polls now. Carol Barrett mentions that the current release naming process only allows the release to be named is announced and no sooner than the opening of development of the previous release [6]. Consensus is made to have this changed. Monty mentions this option was discussed in the past, but it was changed because we wanted to keep a sense of ownership by the people who actually worked on the release. Sean will propose this to the next group of TC members. Requests + urllib3 + distro packages <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076518.html> Problems: Requests python library has very very specific versions of urllib3 it works with. So specific that they aren't always released. Linux vendors often unbundle urllib3 from requests and then apply what patches were needed to their urllib3 while not updating their requests package dependencies. We use urllib3 and requests in some places, but don't mix them up. If we have a distro-alterted requests + pip installed urllib3, request usually breaks. Lots of places the last problem can happen; they all depend on us having a dependency on requests that is compatible with the version installed by the distro, but a urllib3 dependency that triggers an upgrade of just urllib3. When constraints are in use, the requests version has to match the distro requests version exactly, but that will happen from time to time. Examples include: DVSM test jobs where the base image already has python-requests installed. Virtualenvs where the system-site-packages are enabled. Solutions: Make sure none of our testing environments include distro requests packages. Monty notes we're working hard to make this happen. Make our requirements be tightly matched to what requests needed to deal with unbundling. In progress by Matt Riedemann [7]. Teach pip how to identify and avoid this situation by always upgrading requests. Get the distros to stop un-vendoring urllib3.

Appointed PTLs: Robert Clark nominated security PTL Serg Melikyan nominated Murano PTL Douglas Mendizabal nominated Barbican PTL Election for Magnum PTL between Adrian Otto and Hongbin Lu MagnetoDB being abandoned, not PTL was chosen. Instead, it will be fast tracked for removal [2] from the official list of OpenStack projects. Release help needed - we are incompatible with ourselves <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075075.ht…> Robert Collins raises that while the constraints system in place for how we recognize incompatible components in our release is working, the release team needs help from the community to fix the incompatibility that exists so we can cut the full Liberty release. Issues that exist: OpenStack client not able to create an image. Fix is merged [3]. Semver and dependency changes <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075107.ht…> Robert Collins says currently we don’t provide guidance on what happens when the only changes in a project are dependency changes and a release is made. Today the release team treats dependency changes as a “feature” rather than a bug fix. (e.g. if the previous release 1.2.3, requirement sync happens, the next version is 1.3.0.) Reasons behind this are complex, some guidance is needed to answer the questions: Is this requirements change an API break? Is this requirements change feature work? Is this requirements change a bug fix? All of these questions can be true. Some examples: If library X exposes library Y as part of its API, and library Y’s dependency changes from Y>=1 to Y>=2. X does this because it needs a feature from Y==2. Library Y is not exposed in library X’s API, however, a change in Y’s dependencies for X will impact users who independently use Y. (ignoring intricacies surrounding PIP here.) Proposal: nothing -> a requirement -> major version change 1.x.y -> 2.0.0 -> major version change 1.2.y -> 1.3.0 -> minor version change 1.2.3. -> 1.2.4 -> patch version change Thierry Carrez is ok with the last two proposals. Defaulting to a major version bump sounds a bit overkill. Doug Hellmann reminds that we can’t assume the dependency is using semver itself. We would need something other than the version number to determine from the outside whether the API is in fact breaking. Due this problem being so complicated, Doug would rather over-simplify the analysis of requirements updates until we’re better at identifying our own API breaking changes and differentiating between features and bug fixes. This will allow us to be consistent, if not 100% correct. Criteria for applying vulnerability:managed tag <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/073435.ht…> The vulnerability management processes were brought to the big tent a couple of months ago [4]. Initially we listed what repos the Vulnerability Manage Team (VMT) tracks for vulnerabilities. TC decided to change this from repos to deliverables as per-repo tags were decided against. Jeremy Stanley provides transparency for how deliverables can qualify for this tag: All repos in a given deliverable must qualify. If one repo doesn’t, they all don’t in a given deliverable. Points of contact: Deliverable must have a dedicated point of contact. The VMT will engage with this contact to triage reports. A group of core reviewers should be part of the <project>-corsec team and will: Confirm whether a bug is accurate/applicable. Provide pre-approval of patches attached to reports. The PTLs for the deliverable should agree to act as (or delegate) a vulnerability management liaison to escalate for the VMT. The bug tracker for the repos within a deliverable should have a bug tracker configured to initially provide access to privately reported vulnerabilities initially to the VMT. The VMT will determine if the vulnerability is reported against the correct deliverable and redirect when possible. The deliverable repos should undergo a third-party review/audit looking for obvious signs of insecure design or risky implementation. This aims to keep the VMT’s workload down. It has not been identified who will perform this review. Maybe the OpenStack Security project team? Review of this proposal is posted [5]. Consistent support for SSL termination proxies across all APIs <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/074871.ht…> While a bug [6] was being debugged, an issue was identified where an API sitting behind a proxy performing SSL termination would not generate the right redirection (http instead of https). A review [7] has been given to have a config option ‘secure_proxy_ssl_header’ which allows the API service to detect ssl termination based on the header X-Forwarded-Proto. Another bug back in 2014 was open with the same issue [8]. Several projects applied patches to fix this issue, but are inconsistent: Glance added public_endpoint config Cinder added public_endpoint config Heat added secure_proxy_ssl_header config (through heat.api.openstack:sslmiddleware_filter) Nova added secure_proxy_ssl_header config Manila added secure_proxy_ssl_header config (through oslo_middleware.ssl:SSLMiddleware.factory) Ironic added public_endpoint config Keystone added secure_proxy_ssl_header config Ben Nemec comments that solving this at the service level is the wrong place, due to this requiring changes in a bunch of different API services. Instead it should be fixed in the proxy that’s converting the traffic to http. Sean Dague notes that this should be done in the service catalog. Service discovery is a base thing that all services should use in talking to each other. There’s an OpenStack spec [9] in an attempt to get a handle on this Mathieu Gagné notes that this won’t work. There is a “split view” in the service catalog where internal management nodes have a specific catalog and public nodes (for users) have a different one. Suggestion to use oslo middleware SSL for supporting the ‘secure_proxy_ssl_header’ config to fix the problem with little code. Sean agrees the split view needs to be considered, however, another layer of work shouldn’t decide if the service catalog is a good way to keep track of what our service urls are. We shouldn’t push a model where Keystone is optional. Sean notes that while the ‘secure_proxy_ssl_header’ config solution supports the cases where there’s a 1 HA proxy with SSL termination to 1 API service, it may not work in the cases where there’s a 1 API service to N HA Proxies for: Clients needing to understand the “Location:” headers correctly. Libraries like request/phatomjs can follow the links provided in REST documents, and they’re correct. The minority of services that “operate without keystone” as an option are able to function. ZZelle mentions this solution does not work in the cases when the service itself acts as a proxy (e.g. nova image-list). Would this solution work in the HA Proxy case where there is one terminating address for multiple backend servers? Yes, by honoring the headers X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Port which are set by HTTP proxies, making WSGI applications unaware of the fact that there is a request in front of them. Jamie Lennox says this same topic came up as a block in a Devstack patch to get TLS testing in the gate with HA Proxy. Longer term solution, transition services to use relative links. This is a pretty serious change. We’ve been returning absolute URLs forever, so assuming that all client code out there would with relative code is a big assumption. That’s a major version for sure. Sean agrees that we have enough pieces to get something better with proxy headers for Mitaka. We can do the remaining edge cases if clean up the service catalog use.

[openstack-community] [upstream] Upstream Training prep, live assistance, and mentoring
by Tim Freund 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Hi Everyone - We'll open registration for the Tokyo Upstream training soon, and we're doing something a little different this time: we are pairing students with mentors right away and allowing them to work through some of the technical details of OpenStack contribution before class begins. To do that, we need to fill our roster of Upstream mentors! We need people who are willing to mentor students via IRC and email before and after the class that occurs on October 25th and 26th, and we also need people who can be with us in Tokyo to help students complete hands on exercises. Please fill out the following form if you can help in either role: http://goo.gl/forms/fczq3NZ16g Our students will be looking for bugs tagged as low-hanging-fruit, so you can also help by tagging such bugs appropriately in Launchpad. If you're unfamiliar with Upstream training, and you'd like to learn more, we have basic course information and a complete training schedule on the wiki[1]. You can read about our Vancouver training session in Superuser[2]. [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Training [2] http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/what-building-legos-can-teach-you-a… Please direct additional questions or comments to the community(a)lists.openstack.org list with the [upstream] tag. You can also reach out to me directly. Thanks for your help! Tim -- Tim Freund 913-207-0983 | @timfreund http://tim.freunds.net

According to OpenStack governance, the TC will appoint the new PTL [1]. Barbican MagnetoDB Magnum Murano Security Seven projects will have an election: Cinder Glance Ironic Keystone Mistral Neutron Oslo There was confusion in UTC and how to submit nominations through Gerrit, but the TC will work with those candidates in Magnum, Barbican, Murano, Security. Doug Hellmann says MagnetoDB will be discussed for removal due to inactivity. [1] Proposed Priorities For Glance <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/074360.ht…> From conversations at the Ops Midcycle meetup and email threads with regards to Glance issues, Doug Hellmann put together a list of proposed priorities for the Glance team: Focus attention on DefCore: DefCore goals: Ensure all OpenStack deployments are interoperable at REST level (users can write software for one OpenStack cloud and move to another without changes to the code). Provide a well documented API with arguments that don’t change based on deployment choices. Integration tests in Tempest that test Glance’s API directly, in addition to the the current tests that proxy through Nova and Cinder. Once incorporated into DefCore, the APIs need to remain stable for an extended period of time, and follow deprecation timelines defined by complete V2 adoption in Nova and Cinder. In Nova, some specs didn’t land in Liberty. Both teams need to work together. In Cinder, the work is more complete, but needs to be reviewed that the API is used correctly. Security audits and bug fixes 5 out of the 18 recent security reports were related to Glance [2] Two ways to upload images to Glance V2: 1) POST image bits to Glance API server. a) Not widely deployed. Potential DOS vector. 2) Task API, to have Glance download it asynchronously. a) Not widely deployed. b) Assumes you know what task “types” are supported by which cloud, and the expected arguments (i.e. JSON blob). (e.g. Glance docs give a url for a source, but Rackspace gives a Swift location as a source) New Proposed ‘default’ network model <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/074527.ht…> Monty hates floating IPs. Observed with 5 public clouds, requiring you to use a floating IP to get an outbound address. Others directly attach you to the public network. Some allow you to create a private network and attach virtual machines to it, create a router with a gateway. Monty wants an easier way to have a virtual machine on the external facing network of a cloud. Users shouldn't have to learn about how to make that work with floating tips. This should be consistent behavior across public clouds. There is an effort set for Mitaka to work on Monty's request [3]. This will be done for 'nova boot' and work with multiple networks. If you have a more complicated network setup, this spec isn't for you. Base Feature Deprecation Policy <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/073576.ht…> Thierry proposes a standard way to communicate and perform removal of user-visible behaviors and capabilities. We sort of have something today, but not written of “to remove a feature, you mark it deprecated for n releases, then remove it”. Tag proposed [4]. We need to survey existing projects to see what their deprecation policy is. Proposed options for deprecation period: n+2 for features and capabilities, n+1 for config options n+1 for everything n+2 for everything Ben Swartzlander thinks this discussion also needs to cover long term support (LTS). Fungi thinks this is premature. Icehouse stable branch made it to 14 months before it was dropped due to not enough effort was given to keep it working. It was agreed “config options and features will have to be marked deprecated for a minimum of one stable release branch and a minimum of 3 months”. team:danger-not-diverse tag <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/074264.ht…> Josh Harlow is concerned that most projects start off small and not diverse, and this tag [5] would create negative connotations for those projects. Thierry raises it’s important to see the intent of the tag, rather by it’s name. The tag system is there to help our ecosystem navigate the big tent by providing bits of information. Example of information: how risky is it to invest on a given project? Some projects are dependent on a single company and can disappear in one day by the CEO’s decision. For this reason, Thierry supports describing project teams that are *extremely* fragile. As a result, the big tent is more inclusive. On the flip side, we need to inform our ecosystem that some project are less mature. Otherwise, you’re hiding this information.

[openstack-community] Tokyo Summit BoF Sign-Up
by Kendall Waters 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hi everyone, Birds of a Feather sign-ups are now open for the OpenStack Summit in Tokyo (October 27-30, 2015). We have a very limited number of slots so it is first come, first serve. The OpenStack community engages regularly with complementary open source projects, industry groups and standards bodies to further the adoption of cloud computing. One way we can support these organizations is to provide time, space and a willing group of participants to collaborate at each OpenStack Summit. As the Summit continues to scale, we are evolving our format and programming, and would like to offer the following opportunity to our friends in the open cloud ecosystem: Birds of a Feather (BoF) Sessions: For standards bodies, industry groups and open source projects who simply want to host a meeting during conference hours, we have a room dedicated to BoF sessions and meetups. These are single, 40-minute sessions that align with the conference schedule. They should be interactive and inclusive, not just a presentation or panel. Sign up HERE <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LinCEgeZFL8HixMLcLm86LnZd7ZlgssEWRx…> by September 30th. Cheers, The OpenStack Summit Team

[openstack-community] Houston OpenStack Meetup and OpenStack Houston
by Openstack Houston 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Good day Community!, I have sent a request almost two weeks ago at this time regarding being listed as an "official" user group as well as bringing OpenStack Houston to fruition; very much like OpenStack Silicon Valley. At this time I have not got back any response unfortunately and I have attended a couple of the IRC meetings which did not yield any results as well. We have done all available/accessible tasks found at https://groups.openstack.org/official-group-process and http://www.openstack.org/brand/event-policy/ to be listed as an official user group and begin the groundwork on having an OpenStack [Day] Houston. If there is something missing please let us know so that we can get this underway as we have reached out to a number of sponsors/companies and have got them on-board but want to be sure we are in compliance with the policies/procedures posted by the foundation. If mentioned policies and/or procedures have changed please let us know so that we can adjust accordingly. Being that is has been almost two weeks already it would be great to get as much feedback as possible so that we can make up some time. We really appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response. Kind regards, Melvin Hillsman, Co-Organizer Houston OpenStack Meetup / OpenStack Houston info(a)openstackhouston.com 832.930.0395 @houstonosmeetup http://openstackhouston.com http://meetup.com/houstonopenstackmeetup

Actually, right now I'm working on an article that talks about the selection process and proposes possibly moving towards something closer to the one used by scientific conferences. I would be very interested in hearing from people on both sides of the issue. I'm actually trying to get this out today, so please feel free to reach out to me offline as well. Thanks! ---- Nick .

[openstack-community] Status of Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Aug '15

22 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
