Re: [openstack-community] [OpenStack APEC] Next OSAC planning (Let's share ideas)

Hi Yoyo I've started looking into the processes and criteria used by Debian and OpenOffice.org for their own international conferences. I realised that OpenOffice.org content got lost (the server they used for the conferences doesn't exist anymore) and Debian's processes are in a lot of mailing list messages :( In any case I suggest that we start listing our own criteria and priorities that will help us make a decision. We can start now, I've drafted an etherpad. Please add your thoughts there: https://etherpad.openstack.org/InternationalSummitCriteria Once we get a decent list of criteria we can prioritize them and decide how to make it an official part of the candidatures. Cheers, stef PS I cc the international community group because I think this is a topic we should discuss widely with other communities too.

Highlights of the week OpenStack Outreach Program for Women Accepting Candidates <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-…> OpenStack provides open source software for building public and private clouds. We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women <https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>. Join the list of mentors, contribute ideas <http://wiki.openstack.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas>, apply as intern. What's new in libvirt for the OpenStack Nova Folsom release <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/16/what-was-new-in-libvirt-for-the-openst…> Even if Folsom has been out for a while now, Daniel P. Berrangé <http://berrange.com/> provided a little more detail on some of the changes he was involved with making to the libvirt driver and what motivated them. Why to refactor the virt disk API in Nova <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/> When launching a virtual machine, Nova <http://openstack.org/> has the ability to inject various files into the disk image immediately prior to boot up. Nova runs as an unprivileged user, and the guest files to be changed are typically owned as root. This means all the file injection commands need to run via Nova's rootwrap utility to gain root privileges. It should come as little surprise that this has already resulted in a security vulnerability / CVE <https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg14089.html> against Nova. The solution to this class of security problems is to decouple the file injection code from the host filesystem. Read more on Daniel's blog post <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/>. Swift 1.7.5 Released <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/11/14/swift-1.7.5-release/> Swift 1.7.5 has been released. This release is the work of twenty-seven contributors and includes several important new features and bug fixes. Making keystoneclient python library a little easier to work with <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/11/11/making-keystoneclient-python-library-…> A quick guide to using the python keystoneclient library and some of its new features, with v2 API examples throughout. Installing OpenStack Nova Compute on Hyper-V <http://www.cloudbase.it/installing-openstack-nova-compute-on-hyper-v/> A lot of work went on OpenStack and Hyper-V integration, with the result of bringing back Hyper-V in the Nova sources <https://github.com/openstack/nova> in time for the Folsom release. Get started with OpenStack and Hyper-V using the installer developed by Cloudbase Solutions.

Highlights of the week The future of Incubation and Core <http://markmail.org/message/hmc2cmf3wycrqhpe> Incubation is currently an OpenStack project status that grants a promising project more access to OpenStack shared resources, especially in the CI, release management and QA space. The level of maturity reached by OpenStack requires revising the concept of 'Core project' and the incubation process. Join the discussion and help the Technical Committee form an opinion for the Foundation's Board. OpenStack Keystone plans for the Grizzly release <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/11/08/openstack-keystone-plans-for-the-griz…> Joe Heck published the plans for Keystone over the Grizzly release cycle. To read after going through the state of the project slides <http://www.slideshare.net/ccjoe/oct-2012-state-of-project-keystone>. OpenStack Image Service -- Grizzly Planning <http://bcwaldon.cc/2012/11/06/openstack-image-service-grizzly.html> The primary objective of Glance is to publish a catalog of virtual machine images. Rather than own users' image data, Glance simply tracks where that data resides. Glance owns the metadata provided by users. Brian Waldon summarizes the plans for Glance over the Grizzly release cycle. FOSDEM 2013: Cloud Devroom -- Call for Participation <http://markmail.org/message/di5u4o5bskmzrti3> The organizers of the Cloud devroom at FOSDEM 2012 invite you to submit a session proposal. The purpose of this devroom is to serve as a meeting point for cloud infrastructure projects, including a unique opportunity for discussion and collaboration between developers from different projects. This devroom will be focused on open source cloud infrastructure projects.

[openstack-community] Looking for a mailman administrator
by Stefano Maffulli 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello folks, We need a new administrator for the mailman installation on lists.openstack.org. Duncan McGreggor has helped the community a lot in the past months, setting up the new machine, configuring and testing mailman's upgrades from the old servers and running the setup since June. I'm very grateful to him for this. He just communicated to me that he can't take care of lists.openstack.org anymore. The person should be familiar with mailman and have time to help migrate the General list from Launchpad to lists.openstack.org, as we agreed. If you (know somebody that) want to do it please contact me offlist. Thank you, Stefano

Julien Danjou <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/>, a contributor to the Ceilometer <http://launchpad.net/ceilometer> project, gives a look at this project and how it could overlap with Ceilometer or other projects like Heat <http://www.heat-api.org/>. Why OpenStack doesn't need a Linus Torvalds <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/why-openstack-doesnt-need-a-linus-to…> As comparing OpenStack with Linux becomes an increasingly popular exercise <http://www.devx.com/blog/is-openstack-the-linux-of-cloud.html>, it's only natural that people and press articles start to ask where the Linus of OpenStack is, or who the Linus of OpenStack <http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/102412-openstack-linus-263659.html?hp…> should be. This assumes that technical leaders could somehow be appointed in OpenStack. This assumes that the single dictator model is somehow reproducible or even desirable. And this assumes that the current technical leadership in OpenStack is somehow lacking. Thierry Carrez thinks all those three assumptions are wrong. Preauthorization in Keystone <http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/preauthorization-in-keystone/> Sometimes you need to authorize a service to perform an action on your behalf. Often, that action takes place long after any authentication token you can provide would have expired. Currently, the only mechanism in Keystone that people can use is to share credentials. Adam Young <http://adam.younglogic.com/> argues: We can do better. New wiki page: Software Development Kits <http://wiki.openstack.org/SDKs> SDKs are a vital part of any ecosystem and we need to start treating them as such in OpenStack. To do so we need to raise the profile and legitimacy of SDKs that support OpenStack. Heat version 7 released <http://markmail.org/message/teb4mvtru6ismk7a> Heat allows you to launch AWS CloudFormation templates on OpenStack. CloudFormation is a programmable interface and templating system for orchestrating multiple cloud applications. This version adds an OpenStack-native ReST API.

OpenStack Document Translation Guide <http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Translation> OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> uses Transifex to manage translations. OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> Manuals are in DocBook <http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook> format. We slice the documents into short statements, then use Transifex to manage the translation process, and finally converge the translated content into a new copy of DocBook <http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook>, which will used to generate HTML and PDF versions. The easiest way to contribute to OpenStack is to start by translating the manuals. Getting started is super easy.
