[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 8 – 15)
by Stefano Maffulli 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming in 10 days <http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc> Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact information at https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements. On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is available for your convenience <https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html> (just changes “LLC” to “Foundation” and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: http://openstack.org/register/. OpenStack Object Storage (aka Swift) for new contributors <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/12/03/swift-for-new-contributors/> As a developer, jumping into a mature codebase can be somewhat daunting. How is the code structured? What is the request flow? What’s the process for getting my changes contributed upstream? Find answers to these questions on this post by SwiftStack. Evolution of the incubation process <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-tc/2013-February/000119.html> The Technical Committee approved a set of changes to the incubation process, the process through which a project becomes part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. One of the visible change is the switch from using the term “Core projects” to “Integrated”. Upstream University at the OpenStack summit <http://dachary.org/?p=1846> Upstream University is organizing a session <http://upstream-university.org/apply/> in advance of the next OpenStack summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/>, in Portland. If you can fly in two days ahead of the event to spend the weekend improving your OpenStack contribution skills, please consider submitting an application <http://upstream-university.org/apply/> to attend the workshop. Python trademark at risk in Europe: Python Foundation needs your help <http://pyfound.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we…> For anyone who works in a company that has an office in a EU Community member state, the Python Software Foundation needs your help. There is a company in the UK that is trying to trademark the use of the term “Python” for all software, services, servers… pretty much anything having to do with a computer. The PSF is asking a letter on company letterhead to forward to their EU counsel. More details on PSF <http://PSF/>News <http://pyfound.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we…>. Report of Openstack project on SF State University campus <http://commons.sfsu.edu/report-openstack-project-campus> Two students (Brandon Lai and Pascal Schuele) under supervision of prof. Sameer Verma worked on exploring the cloud computing space in Fall 2012. They built a demo/prototype of a private cloud platform on campus and presented at the end of the semester. Prof. Verma hopes to continue to expand this project in Spring 2013.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 1 – 8)
by Stefano Maffulli 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/> There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/> (OpenStack) Anita Kuno <http://anteaya.info/>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/> There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

[openstack-community] Speakers for an OpenStack meetup
by Nicolae Paladi 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hey everyone, I've read recently on this mailing list about an idea of a "speakers list" for the meetups and wonder if there has been any progress on that. we're in the process of organizing a first OpenStack meetup in Stockholm<http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/> in April and I was wondering about getting some keynote speakers that have some visibility within the community to kick-start the event. Can you suggest any names that I could contact? regards, /Nico.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Jan 11 – 18)
by Stefano Maffulli 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Highlights of the week My first week at OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/my-first-week-at-openstack/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> is one of the three interns working on OpenStack under the Outreach Program for Women (OPW –Anne Gentle shared some details about the program before.) She will be working on Tenant Deletion Workflow <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/tenant-deletion> in the next months. This first blog post about OpenStack contains lots of good advice for any developer joining the community: a must read, for experienced developers, hiring managers and newcomers to this great community. Ceilometer Grizzly 2 Milestone Available <http://blog.doughellmann.com/2013/01/ceilometer-grizzly-2-milestone-availab…> The Ceilometer team is proud to announce the first synchronous milestone delivery with the OpenStack <http://openstack.org/> project. Grizzly-2 <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/+milestone/grizzly-2> is also the last Folsom compatible version of Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> as we are planning to introduce some breaking changes very soon in our trunk to enable a totally new set of features bringing Ceilometer beyond basic metering into monitoring and alerting. How many people does one need to build a multi-region cloud? <http://freedomhui.com/2013/01/stacklabhow-many-people-it-needs-to-build-a-m…> Hui Cheng describes in details the StackLab project. Spearheaded by Sina, Intel, Gamewave, Xi’an Jiaotong University, South China University of Technology and others, it’s a non profit platform to try and test OpenStack. Sina’s OpenStack development team was responsible for the development, operations, and go online initially. More volunteers have joined the effort and are actively being recruited to get involved to this great career, which will accelerate OpenStack popularizing in China. An Image Transfers Service For OpenStack <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-f…> John Bresnahan <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/> makes the case for a new transfer service component in OpenStack. IaaS clouds must transfer VM images from the repositories in which they reside to compute nodes where they are booted. In the current state of OpenStack images download via HTTP to a nova-compute client speaking to the Glance image service. In the future proposed by John a transfers service would provide more predictable quality of service with horizontal scalability. Check his idea. Ceilomenter is looking for volunteers to take on unassigned blueprints <http://lists.openstack/> The team is about to start implementing the blueprints for the g3 milestone, there are few blueprints which still don’t have anyone assigned to them.

[openstack-community] oVirt workshop coming up in Sunnyvale, California
by Dave Neary 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi everyone, There's an oVirt workshop being held in Sunnyvale, California, on 22-24 January 2013, which I thought might be of interest to many here. http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 - you can register free for the event at http://ovirtnetapp2013.eventbrite.com/ For those who don't know, oVirt is a datacenter virtualisation project, which is the upstream project for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation (think open source vSphere and you're not far off). There are a few OpenStack specific topics on the agenda - including one session specifically on Quantum and oVirt, and another session ("oVirt Roadmap") on the oVirt project roadmap, which will explore other potential integration points between oVirt and OpenStack (VDSM or oVirt drivers for Nova, integration of Glance into oVirt, etc). There is also BOF space available on day 3 where I would love to see a BOF exploring potential integration and co-operation between the projects. I wasn't sure if this would be on-topic for the list, so I checked with Stefano first - please do let me know if this kind of event is off-topic, and I'll abstain in the future. I thought that there was sufficient overlap both in technology and project scope that some of you would be interested, or perhaps just curious. Thanks! I look forward to seeing some of you there. Regards, Dave Neary. -- 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

Hi everyone, I think many of you have heard, but we've officially locked down the Oregon Convention Center, April 15-18, in Portland for the OpenStack Spring 2013 Summit. As usual, we’ll have a variety of content and tracks, ranging from user stories and technical deep dives to hands-on workshops. If you’d like to submit a presentation, panel or workshop, the call for speakers is now open and will close February 15. http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/call-for-speakers If you are interested in submitting a session for the Design Summit, a special track planning the development work to be implemented in the “H” release, there will be a separate system opening closer to the Grizzly feature freeze and closing after the Grizzly release in April. Summit attendees will again vote on speaking submissions to help determine which presentations are the best fit for our Spring Summit. We’ll also have subject matter experts serving as track chairs to make sure all of our audiences are well-served. If you are interested in being a track chair, please send me a note. The voting system will open on February 18, with the goal of locking the agenda by March 11. Event registration and discount hotel rates will be available the week of January 14. We will again be sending free Summit registration codes to Active Technical Contributors who contributed to the Folsom release up to the Grizzly-3 milestone (February 21). Please check your email and the site for more details and instructions as they become available. http://www.openstack.org/summit For an idea of what to expect, check out our recap video from the Fall 2012 OpenStack Summit that was held in San Diego: http://youtu.be/mbcC8Frb_Hc Please mark your calendars and plan to attend – we look forward to seeing you in Portland!

Highlights of the week Ceilometer bug squash day #1 <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2012/ceilometer-bug-squash-day-1> What better way to start the new year? The Ceilometer team is pleased to announce <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2012-December/004161.html> that it organizes a bug squashing day on the Friday 4th January 2013 <http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/BugSquashingDay/20130104>. You can get started by reading how to contribute to Ceilometer <http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/Contributing>, from updating the documentation, to fixing bugs. There's a lot you can do. Good support for Ceilometer is built into Devstack <http://devstack.org/>, so installing a development platform is really easy. Thinking about the mission of the user committeee <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2012-December/001292.html> Narayan Desai started a discussion about the mission of OpenStack Foundation's most important governing body: the User Committee.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Dec 14-21)
by Stefano Maffulli 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Highlights of the week -- Holiday edition Happy holidays from the whole team at the OpenStack Foundation. We wish you a merry time to spend with your beloved ones. DevStack on openSUSE, or how to quickly setup OpenStack on openSUSE <http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2012/12/21/DevStack-on-openSUSE%2C-or-how…> DevStack is a set of shell scripts to build complete OpenStack development environments. It is useful to create a small OpenStack environment that will be used for hacking, testing, etc. and is therefore primarily used for upstream development. Vincent Untz got DevStack to work on openSUSE. Ten Useful Openstack Swift Features <http://www.17od.com/2012/12/19/ten-useful-openstack-swift-features/> Adrian Smith goes through some of the new features introduced in Swift 1.7.5 and their implication. If you want to learn about CORS support <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/misc.html#cors-headers>, Etag, Object versioning and other nice features read his post. Introducing OpenStack Packstack <http://goodsquishy.com/2012/12/introducing-openstack-packstack/> Derek Higgins developed a tool that is capable of installing OpenStack in a distributed environment using some of the most common configurations. Packstack can be used to transform Fedora 17/18, RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 servers into a functional Openstack Folsom deployment. The tool ssh's onto each server and apply's puppet manifests to set openstack up. On his blog post Derek outlines how to use his Packstack on Fedora 17. A look at individual membership in the OpenStack Foundation <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-look-at-individual-membership-in-the-opensta…> It's no secret that I like numbers and charts. If you like them too, then David Fishman's post is a must read for the holidays. Davide took a snapshot of the membership of the OpenStack Foundation using the publicly available data. Who are these people and what are their affiliations? What if anything does it say about the use and uptake of OpenStack cloud? What doesn't it say? And, like any data, what other useful questions does it raise? Remember that the OpenStack Foundation elections are coming <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/> and the holidays may be a good time to get to know the candidates <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/CandidateList> for the Board of Directors. An <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…>Introduction To OpenStack <http://martin-paulo.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/earlier-this-month-i-gave-talk-…> Martin Paulo introduced OpenStack to a new group of people. He collected and published his notes: I believe his work can be very useful for other OpenStack speakers.

[openstack-community] Requesting volunteers to staff the OpenStack booth at the Open Compute Project Summit
by kathyc＠openstack.org 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi everyone, I am the relatively new OpenStack Foundation industry events planner. I'll post this kind of request for community support for events from time to time. The Open Compute Project has provided OpenStack with a very nice 10' x 10' booth at the OCP Summit January 16-17 2013, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. The Foundation staff cannot attend, unfortunately. We're looking for volunteers to staff the booth. The Expo Hall is open both days from 8am - 6pm with peak times over breaks and lunch. Volunteers will have full conference access to attend keynotes, sessions, and evening cocktail party in addition to speaking with potential developers and users in the booth. We will provide everything needed (except travel expenses) including videos for the large monitor, collateral, OpenStack logo'd backdrop and more. Please reply to me directly at [mailto:kathyc@openstack.org] kathyc(a)openstack.org, by end of day Wednesday, December 19 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
