by Allison Price 04 May '20

04 May '20

Hi everyone - The upstream community has been hard at work, and it’s almost time for the OpenStack Ussuri release! I wanted to share some updates from the OpenStack Foundation, as well as put a call out for content. If your organization plans to create a blog about what your developers helped contribute or if you have product offering announcements slated for next week, let me know. I would love to include any additional content to help show the breadth of the release and how the entire community contributes to it. What’s coming from the OpenStack Foundation: We are planning to publish openstack.org/ussuri on Wednesday, May 13 (exact timing TBD) We are also doing press conferences on Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12. If you organization has news around Ussuri that you would like us to include, please share by this Friday, May 8 so we can share (under embargo) in our press conferences next week. If you and your team would like to align your release messaging with the messaging from the Foundation, please let me know. I should be able to share mid this week. We can also share the OpenStack Ussuri logo for you to use in your release materials and blog posts. There are also going to be two community meetings next week where PTLs and members of the OpenStack TC will present project highlights. Add them to your calendar! <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-May/014646.html> Thanks! Allison Allison Price OpenStack Foundation allison(a)openstack.org

[OpenStack Marketing] Virtual OpenDev
by Wes Wilson 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hi all, Earlier today we sent out some information around the virtual OpenDev event that is replacing the f2f event originally scheduled to happen this June in Vancouver. For those unaware of the event, OpenDev is designed to facilitate collaboration at a technical level with attendees discussing problem areas, work together to tackle unanswered questions and create valuable resources that push topic areas forward. OpenDev focused on Edge Computing in 2017 and CI/CD in 2018. We’re looking for input around timezones and specific topics you would like to see covered. Those specifics are in the original email [1], but feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions. We appreciate your help and look forward to seeing everyone virtually at the first of the three-part OpenDev series happening June 29 - July 1 around Large-scale Usage of Open Infrastructure Software. Thanks, Wes [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2020-April/002010.html <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2020-April/002010.html> Wes Wilson Director of Marketing OSF - OpenStack Foundation @iamweswilson
