OpenStack Community Manager Tom Fifield started the discussion on
the formation of an OpenStack Ambassador Program, which aims to
create a framework of community leaders to sustainably expand the
reach of OpenStack around the world. We would like to recognize
and further empower these community members to achieve the
OpenStack mission, as well as provide more structure and resources
to the growing community and user groups. Your feedback would be
excellent! For more specifics on the program, and information
about becoming an ambassador, stay tuned for the next post.
CERN has 11,000 physicists who use the lab’s facilities including
the central IT department resources. As with any research
environment, there are many students, PhDs and other project
members who join one of the experiments at CERN. They need to have
computing accounts to access CERN’s cloud but we also need to make
sure these resources are handled correctly when they are no longer
affiliated with the organisation.
A lot of work has been done on Puppet modules lately. There is no
doubt to say that puppet modules are designed for high-quality and
best-practices configurations around an important community who
takes care of those concepts.
Emilien Macchi decided to write

OpenStack Foundation Board member Rob Hirschfeld keeps
iterating looking for a proposal to define “what
is core” in the context of OpenStack. This is a must-read
for anybody interested in joining the meeting
in San Francisco on Aug 27.
