Informal Security Working Group
by Julia Kreger 27 Apr '24

27 Apr '24

Greetings Directors, As I mentioned during our last meeting, I've built some initial consensus on holding an informal working group session in relation to security to serve as input into updating our project confirmation guidelines. We will be having our first meeting this coming Thursday at 8 AM US Pacific / 1500 UTC. If you're interested, I've started an initial etherpad with a link to the meeting[0]. -Julia [0]: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/board-informal-security

Cancelling May 2024 Meeting of the Board
by Julia Kreger 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Greetings everyone, This morning the Foundation leadership staff, myself, and our vice-chairs met to discuss topics for our May meeting of the board. We quickly determined the staff has been very busy with press interactions and supporting the local organizers for OpenInfra days events. As such the staff had no pressing topics from their side. From the board side, we have one policy which we have been working on, but that is also not pressing. Combined with the schedule overlap with OpenInfra Days Sweden, we reached consensus we would cancel the May meeting. Anticipate the staff to share an email in the next couple of weeks to cover the press and marketing updates If anyone has pressing topics, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Otherwise, have a great month of May and I look forward to seeing you all during the June meeting of the Board. Thanks! -Julia

Follow-up on Board Topic - Revisiting security/vulnerability guidelines for projects
by Julia Kreger 06 Apr '24

06 Apr '24

Greetings Directors, During our last meeting we ended up touching upon a topic of revisiting our project confirmation guidelines with an eye towards both improving overall security while also seeking to ensure projects have appropriate base coverage as the regulatory environment evolves. I would like to set up a call where directors, and any interested community members could join in, with the idea of overall revisiting the pieces of known regulation which may or will apply, and determining if there are any requirements we can identify or expectations we can set for projects moving forward. That being said, I also realize this next week is the Project Teams Gathering. Would any board members be interested in participating in the PTG on Friday. This seems ideal in terms of community overlap. Let me know your thoughts as soon as possible, and if we have a few folks interested I'll schedule a session for us as well. Thanks, and have a great weekend! -Julia

OpenStack Caracal Coverage - Help Spread the Word!
by Allison Price 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a great week. During the board meeting on Tuesday, I mentioned that we had OpenStack’s 29th release this week which was coming at a time when we are seeing increasing OpenStack demand. After some briefings, we have received some great coverage that are really inserting both OpenStack and the OpenInfra Foundation into strategic conversations around open source for AI as well as the VMware market opportunity. I wanted to share some of the coverage as well as a Call to Action: Please share this exciting OpenStack momentum with your social networks! I have drafted some sample text below that you are welcome to use, but also encourage you to share using your own perspectives as well. Thank you all for your support and for the organizations who employ OpenStack contributors! This is a significant milestone and I want to congratulate everyone in the community for this accomplishment! On to Dalmatian! Cheers, Allison Coverage TechCrunch: OpenStack Improves Support for AI Workloads <https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/04/openstack-improves-support-for-ai-workloa…> ComputerWeekly: OpenStack Caracal improves agility & delivers bite as VMware alternative <https://www.computerweekly.com/blog/Open-Source-Insider/OpenStack-Caracal-i…> ITProToday: OpenStack Caracal Release Focuses on AI Performance Security <https://www.itprotoday.com/iaas-and-paas/openstack-caracal-release-focuses-…> The Register: OpenStack pushes its first easy-to-upgrade release out the door <https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/04/openstack_caracal_released/> TechZine EU: Caracal release of OpenStack bets on AI workloads and VMware refugees <https://www.techzine.eu/news/infrastructure/118369/caracal-release-of-opens…> Social Media Posts - Please Share! Join me in celebrating #OpenStack Caracal 2024.1! The 29th release developed by 540+ contributors comes at an opportune time as OpenStack demand is skyrocketing driven by the support for AI workloads and organizations seeking an alternative to VMware. https://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-caracal/ From TechCrunch: “OpenStack is now a mature system and backed by a sustainable ecosystem — something that wasn’t necessarily the case at the height of its first hype cycle ten years ago. In recent years it found a lot of success in the telco world which allowed it to go through this maturation phase and today it may just find itself in the right place and time to capitalize on the AI boom too.” https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/04/openstack-improves-support-for-ai-workloa… #OpenStack community leaders gathered on OpenInfra Live to talk about some of the latest features in OpenStack Caracal 2024.1 and what you can expect to see in OpenStack Dalmatian 2024.2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BgAXbFaVqw
