Hello folks, with the large growth of OpenStack internationally comes the need to have a better system to list the international resources for new users of OpenStack. At the moment we have a couple of wiki pages like http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups, this list and the map on the /community page on openstack.org. All that content is available only in English. We need more.
I would like to discuss the needs of the international community and get a new system in place in the next few weeks. Basic needs • A directory of OpenStack user groups (OSUG) that is more flexible and appealing than a wiki page. • A system to get in touch with members (all members or just the coordinators/leaders?) of the international communities. Features • Register users using SSO ∘ as a user I would like to be able to associate my profile from Launchpad, Linkedin or Google to the site • Support content in multiple languages (switch list and automatic recognition via browser agent configuration) • Support roles: managers of the groups can add resources, members can sign up as members, anonymous can read all content • Show activity from all groups in my own language on the portal home page • Directory of OSUGroups, with geographic representation ∘ be able to view the groups on a chart ∘ display also the full list of groups • Manage content (pages) of generic interest ∘ to host content like how to start a group, general, policies, trademark stuff, generic icons, etc • Per each group, ∘ allow users to add events, each group will expose its ical feed ∘ show to list additional resources for the group: mailing lists, forums, wiki pages, home page, url of blogs, ∘ import RSS feed from blogs to aggregate content on groups page ∘ display photostreams from flickr and such on the home page Questions: • is that all we need? • do we want to host and provide web apps for any of the local groups (mlists, blog, forums, etc)? • can we reuse code from Ubuntu Loco portal? https://code.launchpad.net/loco-team-portal The code is tightly integrated in Launchpad, local teams need to be created as Launchpad Teams, it uses Launchpad as OpenID provider (bugs included) but it's already there, it's a django app • What other tools can we use for this and would you volunteer to manage such tool? I'm interested in your opinions. /stef -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack-community Post to : openstack-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
