[openstack-community] Automating OpenStack: Join StackStorm’s Online Meetup July 17
by Rafael Knuth 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

In the meetup, our CTO StackStorm co-founder, Dmitri Zimine, will discuss automation approaches and projects within the OpenStack ecosystem. There are over 20 automation projects within OpenStack alone that Dmitri will review and briefly explain, categorize, discuss and request your feedback. Dmitri has had years of experience with automation, being part of the “first wave of operations automation” brought on by Opalis (acquired by Microsoft) where he ran engineering. More recently he has become a core committer and co leader of the Mistral workflow as a service project within OpenStack; we have a short explanation of that project: http://stackstorm.com/2014/07/07/stackstorm-contributing-mistral-build-work… The meetup will cover a variety of OpenStack automation tools, including Mistral, Heat, TaskFlow and Congress, and provide best practices, use cases and benefits of each. You can chat with us during the meetup but if you have any questions, feel free to submit them via Twitter @OpenStack_OM or IRC #OpenStack-Community @Freenode. Below are some more details on how you can join the meetup. See you online! Register for the meetup: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Online-Meetup/events/193478232/ Official hashtag: #OpenStackOM

[openstack-community] OpenStack Groups Portal - readying for tech preview
by Stefano Maffulli 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

hello folks the groups portal is getting closer to its first public appearance in its final form (will soon be at http://groups.openstack.org [1]). The portal is going to replace the content on the wiki page, that list of known user groups will be instead a nice interactive and constantly updated map. 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 The map and the searchable database of user groups is built out of a json file hosted on: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups-static-pages Static pages are going to be managed through git, too, as simple markdown files. For example, see the proposed Code of Conduct https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98205/ And how that would look like once merged: http://groups-dev.openstack.org/tips/hackaton-howto 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 - 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. Let's talk. 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 mentioned above (until we have a different method) Q - I spotted a bug, where do I file it? A - Good question. We're considering using storyboard.openstack.org but until we announce differently please file bugs on https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-community [1] as soon as https://review.openstack.org/#/c/104332/ is approved [2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackUserGroups -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

Hi all, It looks like user deendayal3786 [1] is spamming ask.o.o this morning, I closed a few but new ones are popping up. Does anyone have the ability to block/ban? Also wondering if there should be some tighter spam control to prevent this number of questions being posted in X minutes of each other. Thanks, Steve [1] https://ask.openstack.org/en/users/6619/deendayal3786/

01 Jul '14

Hi Everyone, The Call for Speakers is OPEN for the November OpenStack Summit in Paris! Submit your talks here: https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-paris-summit-2014/call-for-speak…. There are a few new speaking tracks in the Summit lineup this year so please review the below list before you submit a talk. Don't wait! The Call for Speakers will close on July 28 at 11:59pm CDT. The Summit will take place in Paris at Le Palais des Congrès, November 3-7. The main conference and expo will run Monday - Wednesday and the design summit will run Tuesday - Friday. Continue to visit openstack.org/summit for information including: event format, registration, hotel room blocks, visa letters, etc. If you have any Summit related questions please email events(a)openstack.org. Cheers, Claire Proposed Speaking Tracks for the OpenStack Summit in Paris: Enterprise IT Strategies Enterprise IT leaders building their cloud business case are facing unique requirements to manage legacy applications, new software development and shadow IT within industry regulations and business constraints. In this track, we'll discuss how OpenStack is meeting enterprise IT technical requirements and cover topics relevant to planning your cloud strategy, including culture change, cost management, vendor strategy and recruiting. Telco Strategies Telecommunications companies are one of the largest areas of growth for OpenStack around the world. In this track, we'll feature content relevant to these users, addressing the evolution of the network and emerging NFV architecture, the global IaaS market and role of telcos, industry regulation and data sovereignty, and industry cooperation around interoperability and federation. How to Contribute The How to Contribute track is for new community members and companies interested in contributing to the open source code, with a focus on OpenStack community processes, tools, culture and best practices. Planning Your OpenStack Project If you are new to OpenStack or just getting started planning your cloud strategy, this track will cover the basics for you to evaluate the technology, understand the different ways to consume OpenStack, review popular use cases and determine your path forward. Products, Tools & Services OpenStack's vibrant ecosystem and the different ways to consume it are among it's greatest strengths. In this track, you'll hear about the latest products, tools and services from the OpenStack ecosystem. User Stories Sharing knowledge is a core value for the OpenStack community. In the user stories track, you'll hear directly from enterprises, service providers and application developers who are using OpenStack to address their business problems. Learn best practices, challenges and recommendations directly from your industry peers. Community Building OpenStack is a large, diverse community with more than 75 user groups around the world. In the community building track, user group leaders will share their experiences growing and maturing their local groups, community leaders will discuss new tools and metrics, and we'll shine a spotlight on end user and contributing organizations who have experienced a significant internal culture change as participants of the OpenStack community. Related OSS Projects There is a rich ecosystem of open source projects that sit on top of, plug into or support the OpenStack cloud software. In this track, we'll demonstrate the capabilities and preview the roadmaps for open source projects relevant to OpenStack. This presentation track is separate from the open source project working sessions, which allow the contributors to those projects to gather and discuss features and requirements relevant to their integration with OpenStack. A separate application for those working sessions will be announced. Operations The Operations track is 100% focused on what it takes to run a production OpenStack cloud. Every presenter has put endless coffee-fueled hours into making services scale robustly, never go down, and automating, automating, automating. The track will cover efficient use of existing tools, managing upgrades and staying up-to-date with one of the world's fastest-moving code bases and "Architecture show and tell," where established clouds will lead a discussion around their architecture. If you're already running a cloud, you should also join us in the Ops Summit for some serious working sessions (no basic intros here) on making the OpenStack software and ops tools for it better. Cloud Security The Security track will feature technical presentations, design and implementation disussions relevant to cloud security and OpenStack. Compute Computing is a broad topic, but this track will offer technical presentations, use cases, and design and implementation specific to the OpenStack Compute project. Topics will include new features, integration with tools and technologies and configuration as well as hypervisors, HA, schedulers, bare metal computing and databases. Cloud Storage The Storage track will feature technical presentations, use cases, design and implementation discussions relevant to cloud storage and OpenStack. Cloud Networking The Networking track will feature technical presentations, use cases, design and implementation discussions relevant to cloud networking, specifically topics like SDN, scale, IPv6, policies, HA and performance. Public & hybrid clouds The public and hybrid clouds track will cover issues and considerations unique to organizations who are making use of public or hybrid cloud infrastrucutre, or are considering this approach. Hands-On Labs (90 minutes) Hands-on Labs offers a window into OpenStack training for operators and application developers. Sessions are typically 90 minutes and set classroom style for interaction. Bring your laptop and walk away with OpenStack skills. Targeting Apps for OpenStack Clouds A large community of application developers and ecosystem of development tools is growing around OpenStack. This track will be for users who are building and deploying applications on OpenStack clouds, and cover topics like automating and managing application deployment, application software configuration, SDKs, tools, PaaS and big data.

[openstack-community] Improving the OpenStack Community Code of Conduct
by Stefano Maffulli 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

hello all while we're getting ready to launch the OpenStack Groups portal I noticed that we have multiple 'code of conducts' and we should probably merge them into one to clarify things. There are two classes of OpenStack CoCs, one inspired by Ubuntu's CoC version 1 and another more comprehensive document used for OpenStack Summits. Here are the main URLs: - Appendix 6 in Foundation's bylaws - http://www.openstack.org/legal/community-code-of-conduct/ - cloned also on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Conduct (probably somewhere else, too --wikis) - Summit events Code of Conduct - https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-atlanta-2014/the-openstac… - which refers to Appendix 6 Appendix 6 is our 'original' document, lean and simple but it has shortcomings: it's not very clear on what is acceptable/unacceptable behavior and, mostly, doesn't say what to do if one thinks the code has been violated. The Summit Code of Conduct is a lot more explicit, provides examples of what is unacceptable, lists points of contact to report violations and the protocol that will be followed for investigation. Problem is that Appendix 6 cannot be changed easily*. I suggest that we put on one single web page a Code of Conduct based on what we use for Summit events, make that text a bit more general so that Summits can reuse it, keep the reference to Appendix 6. The end result should be a complete and modern Code of Conduct for the whole community to use, online and offline, for all events using the OpenStack brand. I gave a first stab at this: feel free to add comments on the review: https://review.openstack.org/98205 if you're interested to discuss this topic more, please follow up on the community mailing list (hopefully the reply-to I set will help) and feel free to grab me or Tom during Community Office Hours https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Community Cheers, /stef * requires a vote by thousands of Foundation Members. -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

[openstack-community] May 2014 OpenStack Groups Portal status report
by Stefano Maffulli 29 May '14

29 May '14

hello folks a brief update on the status of the groups portal (last one was in December [1] and November [2]). TL;DR The deployment of the portal is blocked by a dependency on the OpenStack ID service, which is a different project described on [3] and [4]. The OpenStack OpenID service is finally getting in a decent, usable shape but cannot go live yet, blocked by another migration depending on openstack.org... Yes, it's a cascade of dependencies blocking the groups portal. We're working hard to fix them all. Hang on, things are about to get better :) The groups portal [5] is still very barebone: it currently can display a map of the existing user groups, pulling data from a json file containing the details entered on the User Groups wiki page. The site can also show static content pages pulled in from a git repository (this is a temporary way to quickly add content without having to implement a sophisticated workflow in the Drupal backend [6]). There are some minor UI/css issues and it's still lacking a lot of desired capabilities but considering how many issues we had with Drupal Commons, how much time Marton Kiss had to spend fixing bugs instead of developing the features we needed it's not as bad as it looks. The issues we had with the framework seem to have been resolved with the latest update of Commons [7] and expect to be able to proceed faster from now on. Marton will proceed working on the blueprints listed on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-community and I hope to be able to send another status report in a couple of weeks.
