OpenStack Board Diversity Committee Charter
by Sousou, Imad 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, below is the proposed Diversity committee charter that Egle, Kavit and I worked out (sorry for the delay here)… would be good if we can get this approved ahead of the summit so we can have the discussions in Vancouver on this… Thanks imad OpenStack Board Diversity Committee Charter In an effort to assert and facilitate the incorporation of diversity policies into its overall strategy, the Board of Directors of the OpenStack Foundation is committed to fostering a more inclusive and welcoming place for all people to collaborate and drive innovation and design cutting-edge data center capabilities, while finding the best answers to our most pressing challenges. This committee will sponsor and create programs that encourage diversity by identifying and removing the barriers that keep us from having a diverse, thriving community. The programs defined by this committee will apply to the Board of Directors, OpenStack Foundation, Technical Committee, PTLs, Developers and the entire OpenStack Community. Each program will have specific success metrics and the committee will provide regular updates on all programs to the Board as well as the Community. Diversity is defined as all the ways people differ from one another including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, language, ancestry, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation and other aspects. This includes elements such as personal background, experiences, education, thinking processes, approaches to problem solving and life experiences. Diversity takes into account similarities and differences in all individuals around the world and can involve multiple aspects, including geographic location, country of origin, economic class or position, cultural norms and traditional societal norms. The differences range from subtle nuances to very clear points of difference – this is the nature of diversity.

Kilo Release Materials & Stats
by Lauren Sell 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi everyone, The Kilo release is out, and the press release is live. Rather than playing up individual new features this cycle, we’re taking the opportunity to focus on interoperability (defcore & testing) and the maturing core services, balanced with initiatives to integrate new technologies like bare metal and containers. We’ve deliberately pulled back from marketing the release itself this round, but have used the opportunity to set up our key messages around interoperability and innovation leading into the Summit. Please find more resources and stats below that may be helpful for conversations leading into the Summit.

Apology
by Tristan Goode 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

To the OpenStack community and in particular the good people at Citrix and Christian Reilly, I sincerely and unreservedly apologise for my offensive outburst about Citrix re-joining the OpenStack community . I am dearly sorry and I wish I had never said such things. Regards Tristan

Reaction to Citrix sponsorship
by Mark McLoughlin 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Tristan, Regarding some of your tweets yesterday, specifically: https://twitter.com/tristangoode/status/590524567333965825 and not forgetting another recent incident including: https://twitter.com/tristangoode/status/567055657124106240 If anyone in our community told a new sponsor to fuck off and used words like "lazy, gutless, and racist" to describe board members, I'd feel like we should address that head on. Much has been written about how dealing with poisonous people is an important test for any community. For a board member to be acting this way is completely unacceptable. While no doubt speaking in a personal capacity here, your behavior reflects badly on the gold members you represent, the board, the foundation, and the community generally. Furthermore, you've recently sought to champion the cause of diversity in our community. The most fundamental thing any community can do to increase diversity is to make the community a safe, friendly, and welcoming place for everyone. Your behavior is destructive to the cause you claim to care deeply about. I hope you take a step back and reflect on this, and I hope you apologize. Mark.

Proposal
by Alan Clark 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Directors, As part of the May 17 Board meeting, we would like to advance the Strategy discussions we began at the March 3 Board meeting. A couple weeks ago Mark Collier sent out a recap covering the March Strategy and Planning discussion. The recap summarized recommendations from the 4 breakout topic areas. The breakout areas being: 1. IoT / NFV 2. Containers & Developer Tools 3. Public & Hybrid Clouds 4. Product Management Unfortunately time constraints at the May meeting will limit us to addressing only one of those topics. We'll leverage the July Austin board meeting to address the other three. Given the NFV activities that are planned at the Summit, which will bring members of the OPNFV community to the Summit location, we propose to focus on breakout topic #1 (IoT/NFV) at the May 17 board meeting. Second, we propose to invite Heather Kirksey, the Director of the OPNFV project to give us additional perspective on this topic at the Board meeting. Two of the four "Overall Recommendations" in Mark's recap are centered around embracing strategic and adjacent industry groups, technologies, and communities building on our foundational IaaS and to foster collaboration across communities. Inviting Heather gives the Board the opportunity to hear directly from the OPNFV community their perspective on how OpenStack fits with OPNFV, dependencies, direction and thoughts on future relations. Some example discussion topics that we would like to suggest to Heather are: - Fit -- What does the success of OpenStack mean to OPNFV -- Where OpenStack fits and does not fit with OPNFV -- What is the potential addressable market -- Would OpenStack Foundation be surprised in the way OPNFV is using OpenStack. In other words is it being used as commonly intended and expected? - Dependencies -- What does OPNFV highly need from OpenStack to be successful -- What other open source or standards communities does OpenStack need to be working with? ODL, Contrail, OVN, ETSI? And how can OPNFV help us. - Direction -- Is there something the OpenStack Board needs to do to ensure strategic directions alignment with OPNFV? - Relationship -- What should be relationship be between OPNFV and OpenStack Foundation? -- Any thoughts on better coordinating collaborative work? - Overall -- How would you measure success between the two organizations? I'm sure Heather will have suggested topics/questions as well. Do you have any additional discussion topics or discussion format that you would like me to convey to Heather? Thanks, AlanClark

Late addition to DefCore Agenda
by Rob Hirschfeld 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

OpenStack Board, In the DefCore meeting today, we decided to request approval of the 2015.next guideline at tomorrow's meeting. The changes between 2015.03 and 2015.next are VERY minor: 1) added Juno as a version 2) added some Flagged Tests (which are handled in DefCore below board level review) We believe adding Juno is needed by the community. Here's the patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/169799/ -- Rob ____________________________ Rob Hirschfeld, 512-773-7522 I am in CENTRAL (-6) time http://robhirschfeld.com twitter: @zehicle, github: cloudedge & ravolt
