Stackers, Today you all released Pike, the latest release of OpenStack. That’s 16 software releases, every one on time, going back nearly seven years to October 21, 2010. That’s impressive! I think it speaks to what an amazing community we have and to all of your contributions. To everyone who contributed, whether through code, docs, ideas, feedback, financial support, or community organizing: thank you! OpenStack wouldn’t be a part of some of the greatest stories in the world, from the largest rail way, power company, and payment company in the world to the most innovative start ups, without your tireless efforts. With members in over 180 countries, clearly the world is counting on your work, and you continue to deliver :) I hope to see many of you at the PTG in Denver in a few days, and all of you in November at the OpenStack Summit in Sydney to celebrate everything this community has already accomplished, and plan for all the things we will accomplish together in the future.

Let's talk Edge Computing at OpenDev, next week in San Francisco
by Claire Massey 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Interested in Edge Computing? *Next week* join us for OpenDev <http://www.opendevconf.com/>, a collaborative working event at DogPatch Studios in San Francisco, September 7-8. Register here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/opendev-2017-edge-computing-tickets-35579171259>. Tickets are just $100 for the two-day event. OpenDev will feature Edge use case demos from Verizon, AT&T and eBay in addition to updates from industry pioneers including Satya <https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya/bio.html> from Carnegie Mellon who’s doing cutting “edge” research. Participating groups include OpenStack, Open Edge Computing, ETSI MEC, OPNFV, Kubernetes and others. Program committee includes Beth Cohen (Verizon) Kandan Kathirvel (AT&T), Chris Price (Ericsson), Andrew Mitry (Walmart) and Gregory Katsaros (Inmarsat). As cloud architectures continue to evolve, compute is being pushed to the Edge in telecom, retail, research and other industries. This represents a huge opportunity for open infrastructure, so we’re meeting to talk about how to assemble and integrate the components needed to meet Edge requirements. The event is designed to facilitate collaboration at a technical level with productive, working group discussions, in addition to lightning talk presentations on Edge use cases. There will be a range of working sessions led by moderators who dive into specific topics. Topics like managing security, what control planes need to look like, networking technologies in play, deployment considerations, zero touch provisioning and others. The discussions will be technical and specific—this is not meant to be a vision or thought leadership event, but a practical step forward in improving the state of Edge across open tech. View the schedule line-up here <http://www.opendevconf.com/schedule/>. This important event is proudly sponsored by Intel, Ericsson and OpenStack Foundation. Questions? Contact events(a)openstack.org <mailto:events@openstack.org>.

Call for agenda items for the September 10 OpenStack Board and Leadership meeting; August 22 board meeting will not be held
by Alan Clark 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Board Members, I would like to propose that we not hold the August 22 Board meeting. Instead let's focus on the September 10, F2F meeting in Denver. I know several Directors are taking vacation during August and with the close date of the September meeting, along with no pressing agenda topics for August, I propose that we cancel the August 22 Board meeting and focus on the September 10, F2F meeting in Denver. Please send me topic proposals for the September 10 meeting so that we can to plan the meeting agenda. Thanks, AlanClark
