A Entrance for BoD Mtg - Barcelona

Sent from my mobile For those attending the board meeting Monday. The two doors circled in green on the attached screenshot show you which doors will be open for the Board Meeting participants tomorrow. Doors will open at 7:30am. I’ve also attached the complete Board Map for a birds eye view. The CCIB main entrances are a little confusing because they are loaded on the backside which is the beach-side of the building (not the street side where one would normally think to enter). Once inside the CCIB there will be way finders and signage to get folks to the correct room for the meeting. Please share this with the board. Thanks! Claire

OpenStack Board, The OpenStack UX project and Intel have produced three booklets for the Barcelona OpenStack Summit based on our work over the past six months. The first is an overview of user research that was conducted on behalf of the OpenStack community including operator information needs, novice user experience for Horizon, OpenStackClient (OSC) validation and managing quotas at scale. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8h-c0zHxYBoXzFMQWJsY09Eclk/view?usp=shari… The second booklets include the OpenStack Personas and GUI Guidelines: OpenStack Personas: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8h-c0zHxYBoMXB4UVgtdFFsaDQ/view?usp=shari… OpenStack GUI Guidelines: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8h-c0zHxYBoV0tHV1l5bVpZZzg/view?usp=shari… Unfortunately, we ran out of time before print – otherwise we would have also included the results for the searchlight/horizon integration as well as cloud architect information needs. However, the presentations will be posted to the OpenStack UX YouTube channel. That channel s updated regularly, so it may be worth checking from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6h129lzcjUqLDY005aCxw Thanks, Piet Kruithof PTL OpenStack UX project

Newton Release Recap Congratulations to the team of more than 2,500 developers, marketers and leaders in our community who made Newton, OpenStack’s 14th software release, so successful! Here’s a recap of some news highlights <https://www.openstack.org/news/view/261/newton-is-making-news>. New Forrester Report Forrester just released a report titled “The State of Cloud Platform Standards, Q4 2016 <https://reprints.forrester.com/#/assets/2/480/'RES130784'/reports>” that notes the most popular standards, AWS and OpenStack, are de facto standards. A couple of great notes: “Today, the list of private cloud suites supporting the OpenStack platform includes (but is not limited to) Cisco, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Rackspace, Red Hat, and VMware.” (32) Also: “Although only 3% of North American and European enterprise infrastructure decision-makers whose companies have adopted or are planning to adopt private cloud recognize the pure OpenStack distribution as part of their private cloud solution, the top six most-adopted vendors all support OpenStack, and many base their own platforms off of their own OpenStack distribution.”(33) Speaking of News… Did you see the latest?
