Help Needed - User Survey Deadline
by Mark Collier 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hi everyone, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that the 2018 OpenStack User Survey is only open for a few more days. It’s incredibly important that your teams and customers participate in this survey to not only share feedback with the development community, but also share deployment information that gives us a better picture around OpenStack adoption. Another valuable use for the data is in educating analysts. For example, a Gartner report was just published with some unflattering commentary and data around OpenStack, and we expect this year’s user survey data to be very valuable in refuting some of the claims. In short, The User Survey is the opportunity to arm your teams, the community, and analysts with data around OpenStack momentum and adoption. The deadline is next Tuesday, August 21 at 11:59pm PT. Please share with your teams to make sure that we get as accurate of a picture as possible.

OpenStack Summit Berlin Agenda Preview
by Allison Price 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hi everyone, The Berlin Summit agenda goes live next week, but I wanted to share an agenda preview of several users who are already secured to share their stories around infrastructure use cases including AI, Edge Computing, CI/CD and even a workshop around OpenStack Upgrades. Stay tuned for next week when the full agenda goes live! BMW will discuss the CI requirements for software projects at BMW like autonomous driving and how they use Zuul to develop software at scale. Oerlikon, a textile manufacturing company based in Switzerland, will detail its OpenStack-based edge computing architecture and how they make 365,000 bobbins per day, each bobbin laden with enough yarn to go from the earth to the moon and back. The technology team from Ocado, the world’s largest online-only supermarket based in the UK, will share how it relies on OpenStack for minimal downtime in powering its robot-managed warehouses. Metronom, the IT supplier for Metro AG, a wholesale business operating in 25 countries, will share its experience with OpenStack and how open source has had an influence on its internal culture. Oath upgraded its OpenStack environment from Juno to Ocata with almost zero impact on its customers. At the Berlin Summit, the Oath team will lead an upgrades workshop to address one of the most common challenges shared by OpenStack operators. The OpenStack Foundation will provide an update on its strategy as well as sessions on the projects hosted by the OSF—Airship, Kata Containers, OpenStack, StarlingX and Zuul. Additional sessions will emphasize numerous open source technologies relevant to infrastructure operators, including Ansible, Ceph, Docker, Envoy, Istio, Kata Containers, Kubernetes, ONAP, OPNFV, Spinnaker, Tungsten Fabric and many more. A number of collaborative sessions will be offered at the Forum <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum>, where open infrastructure operators and upstream developers will gather to jointly chart the long-term future of the OpenStack project and discuss topics ranging from fast-forward upgrades to networking models and how to contribute. Thank you to the Summit sponsors for supporting the event, including our Headline sponsors: Canonical, Deutsche Telekom, Huawei, Intel and Red Hat. Don’t forget - registration prices increase August 21 at 11:59pm PT (August 22 at 6:59am UTC). Register you and your teams here <https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/>. There are also still sponsorship opportunities <https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/sponsors/> available. If your organization is interested, please email summit(a)openstack.org.
