by Stefano Maffulli 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

The DefCore project is moving forward and needs more and more eyes on it. The next meetings are on Sept 9 and 10, with the same agenda to facilitate global access. I'm sharing the details below. All members of OpenStack ecosystem should follow this process closely as it is going to define what an OpenStack cloud will have to "look" like before it can be called "OpenStack".

[openstack-community] Onboarding interested contributors to Openstack
by Adam Lawson 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

I have an idea and hoping to get some thoughts on whether it's a good or bad idea. Something I've been hearing the last couple summits is folks who have seen the light and want to get involved with the project is that they don't know where to go, where to start since the amount of information covered in the docs and projects they cover can be pretty overwhelming. Especially for the first time. One of the ways I've seen complexity successfully navigated for newcomers is through a sort of guide/mentor program where someone hears what the newcomer determines the interest level, what they want to do, advises them where the greatest need currently is in that area, makes the necessary introductions and basically guides them through the process until they are in a project. Is there plans that accommodate interested people to get onboard with a sort of guided assist or mentor? If not per se, would there be any interest in it? Maybe not as its own program but as a Community sub-program that amounts to a welcoming committee. Is this something that resonates with anyone or is it already being done somewhere? Sort of like a "Start Here" for the new folks. *Adam Lawson* AQORN, Inc. 427 North Tatnall Street Ste. 58461 Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230 Toll-free: (844) 4-AQORN-NOW ext. 101 International: +1 302-387-4660 Direct: +1 916-246-2072

[openstack-community] Participation in OpenStack Pavilion at Gartner Data Center Conference
by Kathy Cacciatore 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

We are pleased to offer our community companies a pod in the OpenStack Ecosystem Pavilion at the [ Gartner Data Center Conference ]( http://www.gartner.com/technology/summits/na/data-center/ ), December 2-5, 2014, in Las Vegas. Eight companies joined us at the 2013 event, and were very happy with the quality of leads and conversations. All expo hall attendees must purchase conference passes so the audience is all high quality enterprise decision makers and influencers. Gartner analysts will also visit our booth during a scheduled time. Please respond by August 15 if you are interested and can commit to participation at $15,000 to $18,000 US each (depending on number of confirmed companies). We hope to be able to add an additional promotional opportunity this year to drive awareness and traffic. Here are quotes from last year's participants: "The lead quality was very high. We had great conversations." "We also had [our own] booth on the expo floor and felt that the additional booth presence was very advantageous to driving traffic. The OpenStack Pavilion met with our expectations on conversations and qualified leads." "I worked that show and it was the BEST quality of traffic we've seen from any event. Of the 20 or so "A" leads we collected, we've had 5 that I know of that have continued conversations. Highly recommended. Definite ROI on this one." 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

[openstack-community] Final CFP : UCC 2014 London, UK- CFP- Deadline Extension- 5 August, 2014
by Ashiq Anjum 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

7th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2014) December 8-11, 2014, London, UK http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2014/ Context and Scope Cloud Computing promises to deliver computational resources on demand as services that are commoditised and delivered as in traditional utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Utility with Cloud services can already be achieved for compute, storage and communication resources but also for hosted software and data. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility. There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these model could be used to provide utility for both users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers will also be of interest for this conference. This will be the 7th UCC in a successful conference series. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), and Dresden, Germany (UCC2013). UCC 2014 happens while cloud providers worldwide add new services and increase utility at an accelerated pace and is therefore of high relevance for both academic and industrial research. Topics of interest include: * Big Data and Analytics * Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including pricing and service models * Policy languages and Programming models * Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds * Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated * Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS) * Virtualisation technologies and other enablers * Economic models and scenarios of use * Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces * Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring * Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science) and business * Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds * Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contextsImportant Dates Tutorials Proposals: August 15, 2014 (Extended Deadline) Paper Submissions Due: August 5, 2014 (Extended Deadline) Notification of Acceptance: 29 August, 2014 Early Registration Deadline: 29 September, 2014 Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through EasyChair(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2014) . Manuscripts may not exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference.

[openstack-community] Groups portal live
by Stefano Maffulli 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hello folks, the groups portal is now live at http://groups.openstack.org. It's still limited in what it can do but it already looks better than the simple wiki pages we have been using. Marton Kiss is the lead developer, the portal is based on Drupal, with fully automated CI behind it: we hope there will be lots of patches coming in. The portal is replacing the content of some wiki pages [1] (we'll start deprecating them shortly). Besides the map, the portal sports a very nice list of events pulled from each group hosted on meetup.com. Visitors to the site will be able to see the list of known events on http://groups.openstack.org/events. We're using the shiny new Storyboard to track bugs and keep the roadmap. https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/704 If you run a user group not hosted on meetup.com and you have different sources for the list of events, please file a new task on Storyboard to this story: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/178 The map and the searchable database of user groups is built out of this json file: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups-static-pages/tree/grou… If you see your group missing, you can either propose a change to the json file (if you're familiar with git/gerrit workflow) or simply file a request on Storyboard. Static pages are managed through git, too, as simple markdown files. Check the static pages on his git repository: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups-static-pages/ The whole system is fully published on: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups FAQ: ---- Q - If it's based on Drupal, why are you using git for pages? A - Drupal's workflow management and users/roles are quite complex to setup and we wanted to go live as rapidly as possible. Since we had already setup a module capable of importing markdown content we thought of using the well tested workflow based on gerrit and git-review. We will consider implementing the natural Drupal-based workflow in the future. Q - How do I login? A - We're going to enable logging in the portal as soon as the OpenStack OpenID portal is launched. This shouldn't take more than 4-6 weeks. In case things seem to take any longer we'll evaluate other alternatives. Q - You seem to be importing events only from meetup.com. Can you add more sources? A - Yes, as long as they come in a standard format. Add a task to this story https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/178. Q - How do I add a new group? How do I amend the details for an existing group? A - File a patch to the json file (until we have a different method) http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups-static-pages/tree/grou… Q - I spotted a bug, where do I file it? A - Good question. We're using https://storyboard.openstack.org [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackUserGroups

DefCore Update: Input Request for Havana Capabilities <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/07/defcore-update-input-request-for-hava…> As part of our community’s commitment to interoperability, the OpenStack Board of Directors has been working to make sure that “downstream” OpenStack-branded commercial products offer the same baseline functionality and include the same upstream, community-developed code. The work to define these required core capabilities and code has been led by the DefCore Committee co-chaired by Rob Hirschfeld (his DefCore blog <http://robhirschfeld.com/?s=defcore&submit=Search>) and Joshua McKenty (his post <http://www.pistoncloud.com/2014/05/openstack-defcore-review-time/>). You can read more about the committee history and rationale in Mark Collier’s blog post <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-commitment-to-interoperabil…>. The next deadlines are: OSCON on July 21, 11:30 am PDT <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014/public/schedule/detail/37014> and the Board Meeting on July 22nd. And the K cycle will be named… Kilo ! <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack/2014-July/008447.html> The results of the poll are just in, and the winner proposal is “Kilo”. “k” is the unit symbol for “kilo”, a SI unit prefix (derived from the Greek word ?????? which means “thousand”). “Kilo” is often used as a shorthand for “kilogram”, and the kilogram is the last SI base unit to be tied to a reference artifact (stored near Paris in the Pavillon de Breteuil in Sèvres). Five Days + Twelve Writers + One Book Sprint = One Excellent Book on OpenStack Architecture <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/07/five-days-twelve-writers-one-book-spr…> Adozen OpenStack experts and writers from companies across the OpenStack ecosystem gathered at VMware’s Palo Alto campus for the OpenStack Architecture Design Guide book sprint. The intent was to deliver a completed book aimed architects and evaluators, on designing OpenStack clouds — in just five days. Only developers should file specifications and blueprints <http://maffulli.net/2014/07/14/only-developers-should-file-specifications-a…> If you try to solve a problem with the wrong tool you’re likely going to have a frustrating experience. OpenStack developersuse blueprints define the roadmap for the various projects, the specifications attached to a blueprint are used to discuss the implementation details before code is submitted for review. Operators and users in general don’t need to dive in the details of how OpenStack developers organize their work and definitely should never be asked to use tools designed for and by developers. Third Party CI group formation and minutes At this week’s meeting the Third-Party group continues to discuss documentation patches, including a new terminology proposal, as well as CI system naming, logging and test timing. There was also a summary review of the current state of Neutron driver CI rollout. Anyone deploying a third-party test system or interested in easing third-party involvement is welcome to attend the meetings. Minutes of ThirdParty meetings <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty>are carefully logged.

[openstack-community] "official" user group process
by Tom Fifield 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi all, As Stefano mentioned, we will soon be launching the new user group portal to make it easier to find group information and events. Rather than having a long list on the wiki, we will now have individual pages for the user groups - searchable through a map. To raise the visibility of active and established groups, we'd like to give them some kind of "official" status and potentially a special logo. Stef, the ambassadors and myself have written up a quick draft on a process that we might follow to manage the way user groups become "Official". You can find it on the etherpad at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/OfficialUserGroupProcess please let us know what you think. Regards, Stef & Tom
