Highlights of the week We Wrote an OpenStack Operations Guide in 5 Days! <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/> OpenStack Operations Guide <http://www.openstack.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/OpenStackOpsGuide.…>And here it is...the OpenStack Operations Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/ops/>. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or print <http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/openstack-operations-guide/13692…>. The electronic formats are free to download so click away. The print version costs $29.90 and all proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to support more book sprints like the one that produced this book. Read from the protagonists how they did it: Lorin <http://Lorin/>Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/open-source-documentation-in…>, Everett <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-daysEvere…>Toews <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/>, Anne Gentle <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/we-did-it-zero-to-book-in-five-days/>. Case Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/case-study-on-openstack-cloud-in-health-care/> Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting to opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data storage, elastic compute service resources, and data analytics. Given the powerful forces changing the economics of the overall health care marketplace, technologies that can address security and compliance at reduced cost are getting a lot of attention. OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release. <http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5458/swift-and-quotas-in-upcoming-1-8-0-gri…> OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. A «super user» with the reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit for an account and the account will not be able to have new objects/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas. OpenStack Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/03/08/openstack-updated-individual-contributo…> Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a new individual agreement. We graphed the data of the rate of signups: almost 400 developers signed in less than a week.

Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming this weekend <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> (changes “LLC” to “Foundation”, restores a sentence from ASF <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/ge…> 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 outpaces Amazon, at least by hype <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-outpaces-amazon-at-least-by-hype/> A study conducted by TrendKite shows that at this point OpenStack has more media mentions than Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, CloudStack and OpenNebula combined. If that is not enough, another chart from the same study appears to show that “OpenStack” media mentions are on par with that of “Cloud Computing.” CloudEnvy: Development in the cloud! <http://jake.ai/cloudenvy-development-in-the-cloud> Jake Dahn is working on a project called CloudEnvy which has potential to change the development patterns of web developers everywhere: it allows you to configure and distribute reproducible development environments in the cloud. Bring on the Crazy: Zero to Book in Five Days <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/02/bring-on-the-crazy-zero-to-book-in-fi…> Anne Gentle is leading a “crazy” project: a large, highly focused documentation sprint to write that operator’s guide — for operators by operators. Anne promised to pluck operators out of their day jobs, put them in a room, fuel them with coffee, BBQ, and TexMex, and get to writing. Sounds awesome to me: I’m voting for their panel On Writing the OpenStack Operations Manual in 5 Days <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/vote-for-speakers/presentatio…> at the upcoming OpenStack Summit. The OpenStack Gate <http://dague.net/2013/02/21/the-openstack-gate/> The OpenStack project has a really impressive continuous integration system, which is one of its core strengths as a project. Every proposed change to our gerrit review <https://review.openstack.org/#/> system is subjected to a battery of tests on each commit, which has grown dramatically with time, and after formal review by core contributors, we run them all again before the merge. How can this gate merge hundreds of changes per day? Learn about Zuul, the OpenStack gatekeeper.

[openstack-community] Requesting European volunteers to help staff the OpenStack booth at World Hosting Days, 19-21 March in Rust, Germany
by kathyc＠openstack.org 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Marianna Raffaele in the UK is helping coordinate OpenStack's presence at World Hosting Days 2013. Please support her on this request for booth staff volunteers. Thank you to StackOps and eNovance for their commitments to date! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The OpenStack Foundation is the proud Gold Sponsor of World Hosting Days 2013 (WHD.global) in Germany, one of the largest worldwide hosting events with over 4,200 attendees from the international hosting industry. At this event, OpenStack will raise awareness of the value of OpenStack cloud software for hosting and SaaS providers, including the pace of innovation, terrific community, ecosystem of tools and applications, and economies of scale.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 8 – 15)
by Stefano Maffulli 16 Feb '13

16 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.
