Re: [openstack-community] Pre & Post Summit events in Asia

Oops, sorry about mis-sending. Tom, We are happy to organize event(s) in Korea, either as pre or post summit. I will have a discussion inside our community, and let you know more detail. However, knowing which kinds of people (for example, foundation director or tech people like PTL?) can possibly join the event will help us a lot to determine the details. Thank.

Hong Kong Summit – Registration, Call for Speakers & Sponsors Now Open! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/hong-kong-summit-registration-call-fo…> ???????????????????? ???????, ????????> <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> The All New OpenStack Travel Support Program <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/the-all-new-openstack-travel-support-…> The OpenStack Foundation announces the availability of travel grants under the OpenStack Travel Support Program. The program’s aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of Open Design <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open>, one of the founding principles upon which the OpenStack project is built. Blow Out the Candles – OpenStack Turns 3! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/blow-out-the-candles-openstack-turns-…> OpenStack will celebrate it’s third birthday July 19, and we’re celebrating this month! In three short years, Openstack has truly emerged as the center of cloud innovation, with hundreds of companies around the world relying on OpenStack to run their business. OpenStack is maturing, it’s coming of age and new users being announced every week (Fidelity, Comcast, Best Buy, Bloomberg). Over the past three years, we’ve also seen OpenStack grow internationally. There are now over 40 global user groups and more than 10,000 community members across 121 countries. And we’ve recently crossed the 1,000 authors threshold to the code base. This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community! A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins <http://www.danplanet.com/blog/2013/07/10/a-tool-for-watching-zuul-and-jenki…> Dan Smith <http://www.danplanet.com/blog> wrote a very hacky text “dashboard” that merges the information from Gerrit and Zuul, and provides a periodically-refreshed view of what is going on. The tool is useful to keep close watch of patches, both to know when they’re close to merging, as well as to know early when they’re failing a test. Catching something early and pushing a fix will kill the job currently in progress and start over with the new patch. This is a more efficient use of resources and lowers the total amount of time before Jenkins will vote on the patch in such a case. Save Space: the final frontier – Erasure Codes with OpenStack Swift <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/07/10/erasure-codes-with-openstack-swift/> The Swift team announced an initiative to introduce erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. This initiative enables deployers to store data with erasure coding instead of or in addition to Swift’s 3-replica model.

[openstack-community] qyjohn's quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source projects is out
by Atwood, Mark 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi! Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q2 http://www.qyjohn.net/?=3297 It’s in Chinese, but he typically publishes an English translation a few days later. Short summary of OpenStack’s position: We are still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors. The data sources for discussion thread metrics for OpenStack are https://lists.openstack.net/openstack/ https://answers.launchpad.net/openstack/ http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/*/ https://ask.openstack.org/ Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention? His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects. Share and enjoy. ..m Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director of Open Source Engagement for HP Cloud Services M +1-206-473-7118

[openstack-community] usage of openstack information
by Randy S 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hi all, I have been reading up on openstack as I am completely new to this. I have set up some test systems according to manuals found here and there.Now, I have a question about the possible use of openstack storage. I have seen that the normal provisioning of storage is meant to be for vm's created within openstack itself. This can then be block storage (cinder) or object storage. Can somebody tell me if it is possible to use openstack to provision the same kind of storage to physical servers which are otherwise in no way connected to openstack or virtual machines created in systems like vmware? I hope somebody can asnwer me this and maybe point me the way to test something like this. Thanks in advance, Rgds, Randy

[openstack-community] Inquiring about interest in Partner Pavilion at Cloud Expo Europe Feb 26-27, 2014 in London
by Kathy Cacciatore 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

We're holding a very good, central, large space at the subject event for an OpenStack Pavilion, similar to what we are doing at OSCON (July 22-26, Portland) and Gartner Data Center Conference (Dec 9-12, Las Vegas - spaces still available!). The venue is ExCeL, which is close to the Canary Wharf financial/business district and easily accessible via public transportation. Two members have expressed interest to date (StackOps and Canonical). We don't have a cost to participate yet; European shows are more expensive than in the US. I expect it to be approximately in the range of $5,000 - 8,000 US. Please let me know if your firm is interested by early next week. This is not a commitment but will give me an idea on how much space to confirm. If you have your own presence at this event, priority will be given to those which do not. 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] Ask OpenStack in Chinese
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

Hello folks we've started working on Ask OpenStack in Chinese. This is the very first step towards enabling people to ask questions and give answers for OpenStack in many more non-English languages. The plan is to enable Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian and European languages right after Chinese (hopefully before the meeting in Hong Kong). If you want to see a very first demo of Ask in Chinese go to the staging server: http://ask-staging.openstack.org/zh/questions/ Ask OpenStack is powered by the open source software Askbot and the team asked us to help them translating the user interface. The translation is managed via Transifex, like OpenStack translations. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/askbot/ Do you know somebody that can help us with improving the translations in Chinese (and other languages, too) for Ask OpenStack? We can reward translators with free tickets to the OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong. Please contact me in private for the details. Cheers, Stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

You’ll soon see Neutron in lots of places as we work to implement the name change within OpenStack. An history of OpenStack open source project governance <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/history-of-openstack-governance/> Over the last 3 years, the technical governance of the OpenStack open source project evolved a lot, and most recently last Tuesday <https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg24526.html> with the Technical Committee decided on a model with 13 directly-elected members <https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Governance/Foundation/Technica…>, which will be put in place at the Fall 2013 elections. This new model is a direct, representative model, where if you recently authored a change for an OpenStack project, you get one vote, and a chance every 6 months to choose new people to represent you. This model is pretty flexible and should allow for further growth of the project. As far as open source projects governance models go, this is as open, meritocratic, transparent and direct as it gets.

The OpenStack testbed will be composed of 2 nodes: * 1 controller node running Nova (including nova-compute) + Quantum + Glance + Keystone services. * 1 compute node running only the nova-compute service + the Quantum agent. This tutorial has been tested on Ubuntu. It should be quite easy to adapt to other distros but as usual YMMV. Heat things up with OpenStack — before your competitors do <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/heat-things-up-with-openstack-before-your-comp…> OpenStack Heat is a (CloudFormation-compatible) template-based system that enables you to specify what should be done, such as performing an action on a number of different servers or spinning up a group of resources (called a stack).

[openstack-community] Call for Participation - Open World Forum 2013
by Jonathan Le Lous 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi, Today, we don't have OpenStack contributions at this event :-) The Open World Forum is the first European summit to gather political representatives, decision-makers and experts to debate the technological, economic and social impacts that the Free and Open-Source technologies bring to the market. The forum was first held in 2008, and is now organized annually in Paris, France, with more than 200 speakers coming from 24 countries, and a global audience that was 2100-people strong in 2012. The Open World Forum is held in partnership with all the major international communities in Free Software and with the key players in the digital economy. The Open World Forum is back for its sixth edition. It will be held on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of October 2013, and will take place in a completely new setting in order to accommodate a larger audience. This edition will be a milestone on the way to become the premier global event mixing state policies, social concerns, technology and economy. OWF will take place at the Beffroi in Paris, France and will again be organized by Systematic Paris Region. More than 3,000 attendees are expected for this next Edition, reflecting the renovated program. Please submit your proposal for subjects, talks, lectures or participation in panel discussions on one of the following subjects. The submission deadline is set on June 30th, 2013. Submissions will be handled on an ongoing basis. http://openworldforum.org/en/news/CFP/ Regards, Jonathan fr.linkedin.com/in/jonathanlelous/ Twitter / identi.ca: JollFr Blog : http://blog.itnservice.net/

[openstack-community] Authentication used by REST Proxy plugin
by Julio Carlos Barrera Juez 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi. We're trying to configure Quantum REST Proxy Plugin to use an external Network service developed by ourselves in the context of OpenNaaS Project [1]. We have developed a REST server to listen Proxy requests. We want to modify Plugin configuration as described in OpenStack official documentation [2] and OpenStack Wiki [3]. What kind of authentication is used by REST Proxy Plugin? Is there any configuration a part of user name and password? It is possible using Basic HTTP Authentication [4]? Thank you!

Is there a way to configure Quantum Network API 2.0 to have XML serialization instead of JSON? It is documented? Have extensions like L3 this option too?

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (June 7 – 14)
by Stefano Maffulli 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Welcome Heidi, Margie, Jeremy, and Tom to the OpenStack Foundation team! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/welcome-heidi-margie-jeremy-and-tom-t…> Since the Foundation launched last September, we’ve continued to build out a diverse team. This has been a big focus to keep up with the incredible growth in the OpenStack community with another new software release (Grizzly), the Portland Summit with over 2600 people (double San Diego!), and the start of the work to organize the first international Summit in Hong Kong (expecting over 4,000 people). To keep up with such amazing growth, we expanded the team with new roles to drive adoption of the software, support the development process and grow the OpenStack ecosystem. Heidi Bretz joined as Director of Business Development, Margie Callard as Marketing Manager, Jeremy Stanley as Infrastructure Engineer and Tom Fifield as User Community Manager. Openstack Grizzly with Nicira NVP Plugin Provider Router Use Case with NAT <http://www.cloudactual.com/2013/06/openstack-grizzly-with-nicira-nvp.html> This post by Thomas Kraus <http://www.cloudactual.com/search/label/openstack> reviews a common use-case for Openstack Networking and show step by step how to achieve the requirements for this use case using Openstack Networking in the Grizzly release with the Nicira Network Virtualization plugin for Openstack. The OpenStack Community Welcomes Developers in All Programming Languages <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/06/12/the-openstack-community-welcomes-develop…> If you ever encounter someone looking for help with any non-python language, you can always point them to the SDKs wiki page <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SDKs>. They should be able to find their way from there. How non developers can contribute to OpenStack <http://www.muktware.com/5634/how-non-developers-can-contribute-openstack> One common question many of us involved in OpenStack receive is: “I am not a developer: how can I contribute to OpenStack?” Atul Jha wrapped up some possible answers to this question. OpenStack at EuroPython 2013 among Reinassance masterpieces <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/openstack-at-europython-2013-among-re…> If you ever wanted the chance to learn about OpenStack and see the masterpieces by Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Ghiberti and so many others your best chance is to join us at Europython 2013 <https://ep2013.europython.eu/>. Hosted in Firenze July 1-7, Europython 2013 will see a massive OpenStack-related presence, including one half day training session to get started. The OpenStack Foundation will have a booth there and most likely a Help Desk session, where people interested can reserve time to talk to OpenStack experts in real life, under the Tuscan sun.
