Please help OpenStack get the best possible results for the User Survey
by Heidi Joy Tretheway 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Dear Board, The OpenStack User Survey is happening now, and we need your help to ensure as many OpenStack community members as possible answer it. Our goal is to exceed the 350 deployments described in the last User Survey, as well as surpassing the 1315 OpenStack community members who answered the survey in the last cycle. That's why I'm asking for your help to reach out to your colleagues and customers to ensure we have the broadest possible representation on the User Survey. If your organization participated in the last survey, there's no need to start from scratch. Simply log back in with your user credentials to update your Deployment Profile. Even if you're not entering a deployment, your insights are incredibly valuable. In 5 minutes, you can answer 3 key questions—what you like, what we can do differently (and better), and how likely you are to recommend OpenStack—plus some basic demographic info about you and your organization. The information provided is confidential and will only be presented in aggregate. Start the survey now: https://www.openstack.org/user-survey <https://www.openstack.org/user-survey>. The deadline to fill out the survey is Wednesday, February 24 at 23:59 UTC. We'll be sharing the results at the OpenStack Summit [http://www.openstack.org/summit] <http://www.openstack.org/summit]>, April 25-29 in Austin. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about the survey. Thanks in advance for your help!

OpenStack Australia Day
by Roland Chan 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi All, Aptira and the Foundation are hosting the inaugural OpenStack Australia Day in Sydney and we're in the process of organising speakers and sponsorship. As leading organisations in the OpenStack sphere, I thought some of you or your organisations might be interested in participating, especially since Sydney is such a nice place to visit, even in autumn. Focusing on Open Source cloud technology, the aim of this conference is to gather industry users, vendors and solution providers to showcase the latest technologies and share real-world experiences of the next wave of IT virtualisation. OpenStack Australia Day will showcase a range of sessions on the broader cloud and Software Defined Infrastructure ecosystem including OpenStack, containers, PaaS and automation. The conference also features keynote presentations from industry leading figures, workshops and a networking event for a less formal opportunity to engage with the community. The event will be held on the 5th of May at The Menzies in Sydney, and we have a range of sponsorship levels available, if you're interested in being involved. We are also looking for speakers to present at the conference - anything from a presentation to a workshop or panel, we’re quite flexible at this stage. For more information, feel free to check out the OpenStack Australia Day 2016 website: http://australiaday.openstack.org.au/ or contact me directly. We look forward to having you involved in the first OpenStack conference down under! Cheers, Roland

Thanks! I had a great time on the board
by Rob Hirschfeld 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

OpenStack Board, It's been a privilege serving with you and excited to see bring Allison uses her considerable open source experience into the fold. I believe that interoperability remains a critical factor for OpenStack; in fact, I'm shifting my focus to even broader cross-platform interoperability because I see that as a key to open cloud success. I encourage the board to look at interop as building a broader ecosystem than just within the project boundaries. This is not an OpenStack challenge alone but it is our opportunity to be true open software leaders. I'm happy to talk about this (or any topic!) with you individually. Thanks for the great years together. Rob -- Rob Hirschfeld RackN.com, CEO & Founder @zehicle, 512-773-7522

by John Zannos 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Alan, Jonathan and the Board, After 3 years with the OpenStack Board, I will be stepping away as Canonical's Board representative. It has been a fantastic 3 years, and I have enjoyed the opportunity to help the OpenStack Foundation and Community grow. I will still be very involved in the OpenStack Foundation as part of Canonical and a community member. Mark Baker at Canonical will be my replacement. Mark is copied on this email and I am sure you will find him a great successor. Thank you again for all the great challenges, debates, ideas and teamwork. Best, John John Zannos Vice President - Alliances / Business Development Canonical / Ubuntu john.zannos(a)canonical.com +1 978 375 0742 IRC: jzannos www.ubuntu.com | www.canonical.com

Board Members, We have some OpenStack DefCore discussion planned tomorrow. We've prepared a summary with some alternatives for you. Happily, they include some short term items that we will review during the meeting. We will likely not have time to consider the longer term actions that we've also been discussing in DefCore meetings. I'm attaching the document for your convencience (as of 8:00 pm Central); however, the most current version is online at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q_N93hJ-8WK4C3Ktcrex0mxv4VqoAjBzP9g6cDe… Egle and I discussed how to best present this topic and would like to do the following: 3 minutes > ask Board to individually write down short "what is Interop" for OpenStack 7 minutes > volunteers read samples 10 minutes > present issue and short term options (Board action not required for short term action) 20 minutes > time bound discussion Rob ____________________________ Rob Hirschfeld, 512-773-7522 RackN CEO/Founder (rob(a)rackn.com) I am in CENTRAL (-6) time http://robhirschfeld.com twitter: @zehicle, github: zehicle
