[Marketing Bulletin] Edge White Paper Published, Queens Release, New Case Studies
by Allison Price 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

OpenStack Marketing Bulletin February 15, 2018 Edge Computing White Paper Yesterday, the Edge Computing Group published a white paper: Cloud Edge Computing: Beyond the Data Center <https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/> which has already earned some coverage in The New Stack <https://thenewstack.io/open-infrastructure-operators-rally-around-edge-comp…> and Computer Weekly <http://www.computerweekly.com/news/252435050/OpenStack-Overcoming-edge-comp…> as well as interest from several other reporters. A collaborative effort across 10 organizations (AT&T, B.Yond, Cisco, Ericsson, HPE, IMT Atlantique, Inmarsat, Red Hat, Verizon and Walmart Labs), the paper outlines use cases and technical requirements for edge computing. The white paper is a result of efforts kicked off at the OpenDev Edge event in September 2017, and the Edge Computing Group will continue their work at the Project Teams Gathering in Dublin this month. Vancouver Summit Last week, the Vancouver Summit CFP closed and several organizations submitted topics around their use case for the first time including Target, Progressive Insurance and JPMorgan Chase, and Worldpay. Additional users including Wells Fargo, TELUS, Riot Games and China Railway Corporation. The expansion of the Summit content to cover open infrastructure has also brought exciting new submissions across the topics of Container Infrastructure and Edge Computing, including submissions from Google and Microsoft cloud teams. Community voting opens next week - check out these sessions among many others. Note: the agenda is still going through the community selection process, so not all of these users may be chosen to speak in Vancouver. Both registration and sponsor sales are open for the Vancouver <http://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/sponsors> and Berlin Summits <http://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/sponsors>. OpenStack Case Study Pipeline In addition to the organizations in the Summit CFP, there are more case studies currently being developed with Mercedes Benz R&D and The University of Edinburgh. The Foundation team also met with users including the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Tencent and China Mobile during a trip earlier this month. We are also reaching out to companies in the ecosystem that have case studies developed that can be added to openstack.org/users. Additionally, an article came out yesterday around Walmart’s cloud footprint referencing their OpenStack environments: Walmart goes to the cloud to close gap with Amazon <https://www.reuters.com/article/us-walmart-cloud/walmart-goes-to-the-cloud-…>. OpenStack Queens Release The next release of OpenStack is slated for February 28th and we’ve got some pretty juicy updates across container integration, GPU support, robust enterprise features and ease of use. We’ll be distributing materials to the marketing mailing list next week and scheduling a webinar to preview it with the community on Wednesday at 9 am PT <https://zoom.us/j/384657461>. New for the Queens release is a “Release Highlights” page. The PTLs have selected these as the most important features for their project in Queens. This is the first iteration of the Release Highlights page and it will be an item discussed at the upcoming PTG; if you have suggestions for future pages, please email anne(a)openstack.org <mailto:anne@openstack.org>. Release Highlights: https://releases.openstack.org/queens/highlights.html <https://releases.openstack.org/queens/highlights.html> Rocky Roadmap The Roadmap Team will begin generating the roadmap for Rocky and beyond shortly after the Dublin PTG. If you are interested in helping shape the OpenStack Roadmap, please email anne(a)openstack.org <mailto:anne@openstack.org>. Kata Containers Activities are heating up in the Kata Containers community. The Architecture Committee now features five members from Intel, Hyper.sh, Huawei, Google and Microsoft, and the “working committee” (basically the marketing/product committee) is meeting biweekly to build out more content for the website and blog. The community is working toward their first major release expected late Q2. If you’re interested in getting involved in development or marketing efforts, check out the meeting schedule and communications channels on katacontainers.io <https://katacontainers.io/>.

informal meet at the PTG
by Alan Clark 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Directors, We will have details shortly, but plan that there will be an informal 'meet at the pub' for the Board members who arrive in time on the Sunday before the PTG. We recognize that everyone is traveling in on the Sunday so we aren't making formal plans for a board dinner, but if you arrive in time we'll see you at the pub. On Monday evening, after the board meeting, we will participate in a casual evening meet with the PTG attendees. Details soon. Regards, AlanClark

This page is currently empty, but you can expect to see features start rolling in the week of January 22. Queens Highlights Page. <https://releases.openstack.org/queens/highlights.html> We want to reduce PTLs receiving multiple asks for their top features, and instead work together as product marketers to have a single follow up call to answer questions not covered on the Highlights Page (a press pool style call).

Vancouver Summit CFP is open - what’s new
by Lauren Sell 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hi everyone, Today, we opened the Call for Presentations <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/> for the Vancouver Summit <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/>, which will take place May 21-24. The deadline to submit your proposal is February 8th. What’s New? We’re focused on open infrastructure integration. The Summit has evolved over the years to cover more than just OpenStack, but we’re making an even bigger effort to attract speakers across the open infrastructure ecosystem. In addition to OpenStack-related sessions, we’ll be featuring the newest project at the Foundation -- Kata Containers -- as well as recruiting many others from projects like Ansible, Ceph, Kubernetes, ONAP and many more. We’ve also organized Tracks around specific problem domains. We encourage you to submit proposals covering OpenStack and the “open infrastructure” tools you’re using, as well as the integration work needed to address these problem domains. We also encourage you to invite peers from other open source communities to come speak and collaborate. The Tracks are: CI/CD Container Infrastructure Edge Computing HPC / GPU / AI Open Source Community Private & Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud Telecom & NFV Where previously we had Track Chairs, we now have Programming Committees <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/sele…> for each Track, made up of both Members and a Chair (or co-chairs). We’re also recruiting members and chairs from many different open source communities working in open infrastructure, in addition to the many familiar faces in the OpenStack community who will lead the effort. If you’re interested in nominating yourself or someone else to be a member of the Summit Programming Committee for a specific Track, please fill out the nomination form <https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstackvancouver2018_prog…>. Nominations will close on January 26, 2018. Again, the deadline to submit proposals <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/> is February 8, 2018. Please note topic submissions for the OpenStack Forum (planning/working sessions with OpenStack devs and operators) will open at a later date. We can’t wait to see you in Vancouver! We’re working hard to make it the best Summit yet, and look forward to bringing together different open infrastructure communities to solve these hard problems together! Want to provide feedback on this process? Please focus discussion on the openstack-community mailing list, or contact me or the OpenStack Foundation Summit Team directly at summit(a)openstack.org. Thank you, Lauren

OpenStack Summit Vancouver: Sponsor Sales Open
by Mark Collier 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

All, I wanted to make you aware that today we launched the sponsorship contract for the Vancouver Summit, happening May 21 - 25, 2018. Quite a few companies have already claimed a spot. Since booth selection is done in order the signed contracts are received, we always encourage companies to move fast :) Find the prospectus and sponsorship agreement here: https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/sponsors/ You’ve probably noticed the OpenStack Summits have covered more than OpenStack for a while. The event has really evolved to become the home of open infrastructure collaboration, driven by user demand. You’ll see us increasing our focus on “Open Infrastructure” at the Summits in 2018, which means a greater breadth of technologies, including new projects like Kata Containers and the integration work with things like Kubernetes. Content will align with the Strategic Focus areas we've defined for the Foundation, including datacenter cloud technologies, edge computing, container infrastructure, CI/CD and machine learning. We’re also working to make the Berlin contract available soon because we’ve had a lot of initial demand. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Dublin soon for the PTG, and again in Vancouver in May! Mark
