It derives its strength from the collective community. No matter when you joined or what role you play, you have the ability to shape the future of OpenStack and computing. In three short years since the community was established, OpenStack has truly become the center of cloud innovation, attracting hundreds of talented developers, brand-name users, and support from major industry leaders. This calls for a big toast to you, the OpenStack community! A Vision for Keystone http://adam.younglogic.com/2013/07/a-vision-for-keystone/ As OpenStack evolves, its requirements for Identity Management evolve with it. In the early days, there was a single Nova server, and that stored user-id and password. Once OpenStack evolved into a body of servers, copying passwords around comprised too big a security risk. Keystone was first implemented as a central repository for those passwords. Adam Young http://adam.younglogic.com/ writes in fine details what the plans are for the future of the OpenStack Identity Management service. Glance Registry Driver http://blog.flaper87.org/post/51e47d110f06d35a218b0307/ A lot is going on on Glance lately, although you may have not noticed.

Re: [Openstack] Future of this General Mailing list
Here is a much needed update on this project, migrate this list from Launchpad to lists.openstack.org with all the others. My apologies for this project taking so long: it's a fairly complex project. Paul Hummer volunteered to help. What needs to happen is to get from Launchpad the list of subscribers and their email address + configuration (the mailman pickle). Paul coordinated with the Launchpad team at Canonical, got the pickle and tested it on lists.openstack.org. Unfortunately after trying multiple times with different pickles the process failed. He's escalated to Barry Warsaw, current mailman maintainer and author of the integration with Launchpad to get his help. We're waiting for his comments. Should Barry give us a clean recipe to get from Launchpad the full list of subscribers we're going to be able to close this list and move to lists.openstack.org fairly easily. If that's not going to work we need to start thinking of implementing plan B, the one that has blood and tears in it. We're keeping the steps on https://etherpad.openstack.org/mailmain-migration-notes I'll keep you posted with news as soon as I have them.

Re: [Openstack] How to Install OpenStack ???????????
On 07/11/2013 11:58 PM, Jake G. wrote: rant Does anyone have installation instructions that a human being can actually understand and follow? Hi Jake, I think I understand what you're going through: the pain you're reporting is unfortunately known and not rare. The documentation team is aware that the installation instructions are in urgent need for attention. The reasons for this technical debt is that the documentation team has given priority to documenting the general aspects of OpenStack. Writing an installation guide that is general/generic for all sorts of possible combinations is too complicated, so that task was given lower priority (the books like Operations Guide and Security Guide were given higher priority, in case you asked). So, while knowing this won't help you ease your pain, I hope it sheds some light on the reasons why the official installation documentation is behind the rest of the docs. To close the technical debt, Anne and the rest of the documentation team will be working on a set of *opinionated* install guides. Acknowledging that installing a complex system like OpenStack is (ahem) complex, what makes it simpler is to make assumptions that reduce the variables. The reasons why you see so many blog posts, small install guides, etc is that these make assumptions to reduce the number of variables like: do I use one or three or more nodes? nova network or neutron? swift? how to configure keystone auth? what networking topology? where do I put the dashboard? how about HA? etc This is a call to anybody interested in documenting OpenStack installation: join the documentation team and contribute your expertise to write an *opinionated* guide to install OpenStack. It won't be the ultimate guide to install OpenStack in all possible scenarios but it will be a way to start. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo thanks stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hong Kong Summit – Registration, Call for Speakers Sponsors Now Open! http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/hong-kong-summit-registration-call-for-speakers-sponsors-now-open/ ???, http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/ The All New OpenStack Travel Support Program http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/the-all-new-openstack-travel-support-program/ The OpenStack Foundation announces the availability of travel grants under the OpenStack Travel Support Program. The program’s aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of Open Design https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open, one of the founding principles upon which the OpenStack project is built. Blow Out the Candles – OpenStack Turns 3! http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/blow-out-the-candles-openstack-turns-3/ OpenStack will celebrate it’s third birthday July 19, and we’re celebrating this month! In three short years, Openstack has truly emerged as the center of cloud innovation, with hundreds of companies around the world relying on OpenStack to run their business. OpenStack is maturing, it’s coming of age and new users being announced every week (Fidelity, Comcast, Best Buy, Bloomberg). Over the past three years, we’ve also seen OpenStack grow internationally. There are now over 40 global user groups and more than 10,000 community members across 121 countries. And we’ve recently crossed the 1,000 authors threshold to the code base. This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community! A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins http://www.danplanet.com/blog/2013/07/10/a-tool-for-watching-zuul-and-jenkins/?utm_source=rssutm_medium=rssutm_campaign=a-tool-for-watching-zuul-and-jenkins Dan Smith http://www.danplanet.com/blog wrote a very hacky text “dashboard” that merges the information from Gerrit and Zuul, and provides a periodically-refreshed view of what is going on. The tool is useful to keep close watch of patches, both to know when they’re close to merging, as well as to know early when they’re failing a test. Catching something early and pushing a fix will kill the job currently in progress and start over with the new patch. This is a more efficient use of resources and lowers the total amount of time before Jenkins will vote on the patch in such a case.

Hosted in Firenze July 1-7, Europython 2013 will see a massive OpenStack-related presence, including one half day training session to get started. The OpenStack Foundation will have a booth there and most likely a Help Desk session, where people interested can reserve time to talk to OpenStack experts in real life, under the Tuscan sun.

On 06/12/2013 07:09 AM, Everett Toews wrote: The OpenStack community has been and needs to continue to be a welcoming community for developers in all programming languages. Indeed. As more public clouds are appearing powered by OpenStack, developers of applications are becoming even more important than before. In fact, I think it's about time we start thinking about specific programs for developers consuming OpenStack. This email is prompted by a minor incident in the #openstack IRC channel. [...] Like I said, a minor incident. I don’t want to blow this out of proportion but it does need to be addressed. How do you suggest to address this issue? My gut feeling is that expecting people on #openstack to behave all the time can be too much of a challenge. I heard often that the channel is not very useful and that's one of the reasons that lead to creating #openstack-101. Maybe we can increase the visibility of such channel, put it on top of the list https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC? If you ever encounter someone looking for help with another language, you can always point them to the SDKs wiki page [1]. They should be able to find their way from there. [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SDKs Great to mention that. Maybe we can think about linking this page directly from the wiki main page https://wiki.openstack.org/. Another thing we could do to help consumers of API (is that a good term?) is to improve the Catalog of OpenStack related projects http://stackmeat.org/, maybe make it an official community project.

OpenStack 2013.1.2 released http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-June/000109.html The OpenStack Stable Maintenance team is happy to announce the release of the 2013.1.2 stable Grizzly release. We have been busy reviewing and accepting backported bugfixes to the stable/grizzly branches. A total of 80 bugs have been fixed across all core projects. *OpenStack “I” ***release**naming** http://markmail.org/message/mz3c7thc4oa5vbfc The next release cycle for OpenStack, starting in November 2013 after we conclude the current *release* cycle (“Havana”) will be called Icehouse. https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack/+poll/i-release-naming Open Source Sysadmin: Reorganization of the OpenStack Infrastructure Docs http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=8101 The OpenStack Infrastructure team is constantly evolving its documentation to make it easier for new contributors to join the team. Last week documentation for the OpenStack Project Infrastructure http://ci.openstack.org/ was reorganised “to re-orient the documentation as an introduction for new contributors and a reference for all contributors.” All of the CI tools are open source, the puppet and other configurations are all hosted in public revision control https://github.com/openstack-infra/config and any changes submitted are made by the same process all other changes in OpenStack are made https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow. They go through automated tests in Jenkins to test applicable syntax and other formatting and the code changes submitted are reviewed by peers and approved by members of the infrastructure team. This has made it super easy it is for the team to collaborate on changes and offer suggestions (much better than endless pastebins or sharing a screen session with a fellow sysadmin!), plus with all changes in revision control it’s easy to track down where things went wrong and revert as necessary.

Travel less, save more: introducing the OpenStack volume affinity filter http://www.mirantis.com/blog/travel-less-save-more-introducing-openstack-volume-affinity-filter/ It is a common desire to have some storage space associated with an instance running on cloud.

Working with the OpenStack Code Review and CI system -- Chef Edition http://www.joinfu.com/2013/05/working-with-the-openstack-code-review-and-ci-system-chef-edition/ For too long, the state of the OpenStack Chef world had been one of duplicative effort, endless forks of Chef cookbooks, and little integration with how many of the OpenStack projects choose to control source code and integration testing. Recently, however, the Chef + OpenStack community has been getting its proverbial act together. Folks from lots of companies have come together and pushed to align efforts to produce a set of well-documented, flexible, but focused Chef cookbooks that install and configure OpenStack services. StackForge now hosting a set of Chef cookbooks for OpenStack. Virtualizing legacy hardware in OpenStack http://dachary.org/?p=1991 Loïc Dachary http://dachary.org/ summarizes how the French non-profit organization April http://april.org/ migrated the workload of a five years old hardware to OpenStack.

Hi Jason, thank you for picking up this topic: some people may not be aware of the work that is happening. Remember that cross-posting is *evil*: please just don't do it.

[Openstack] [Ask] Guidelines for answering question on Ask
Hello folks, now that the traffic on https://ask.openstack.org has increased, I think it's time we start collecting guidelines for the moderators so we keep having a very informative tool, with consistently good questions and answers. I think it helps for example to pay attention to the titles of the questions and make them as explicit and clear as possible. The titles need to look like questions. Good examples are: * Where can I find instructions on how to setup OpenStack Grizzly on VMware Workstation? * How to set up metadata service on a flat network? * Why do I get No portal found error while attaching cinder volume to VM? I have started collecting best practices from Ask Ubuntu, Mozilla and Stackoverflow to be published on this page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators Do you have other examples, guidelines that we can imitate? thanks stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Openstack] [ASK] About/Help page for ask.openstack.org
Hello folks, the traffic on http://ask.openstack.org is increasing and I thought that it would be good to provide a way to help people get the most out of the tool. In Portland I got inspiration from Jorge Castro, very active on Ask Ubuntu so today I put online a first attempt at providing some instructions on: https://ask.openstack.org/about/ (aside from the screenshots, most content comes from Ask Ubuntu :)) The gist of it is that Ask is a place for dry questions and answers: no need to start the question with hello and no need to finish it with please. Just awesome content produced by us, the whole community. Ask is not a forum, we should avoid conversations around opinions (use the mailing lists for that) or too wide questions. For moderators: edit the hell out of questions and answers, don't be afraid to close questions that are off topic, too wide, opinion based, duplicates. Politely write in a comment the reason for closing the question and move on to the next one. Everybody: give answers where you can, improve the questions by fixing formatting, spread the word about Ask OpenStack. Let me know what you think about the about/help page. thanks, stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Openstack] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Apr 5 – 12)
Highlights of the week Introducing the OpenStack Activity Board http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/introducing-the-openstack-activity-board/ I am pleased to announce that a beta release of the OpenStack Activity Board (beta) http://activity.openstack.org/data/ is now live. The development Activity Board announced few months ago http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/09/providing-a-unified-view-of-openstack-projects/ provides a visual overview of all the OpenStack public activity of community members across multiple dimensions: contributors and organizations, projects and tools. From a single interface, you can easily surf OpenStack project content, whether it is coming from the LaunchPad bug tracker, Git or Gerrit, all mapped against the OpenStack Foundation members database. Join the session at the Summit http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/ebbf37e343246e0b80bf99540a0c8d86 to learn more and give feedback. The need for releases http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/the-need-for-releases/ The beginning of a new release cycle is as good as any moment to question why we actually go through the hassle of producing OpenStack releases. Twice per year https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Cycle, on a precise date we announce 6 months in advance, we bless and publish source code tarballs of the various integrated projects in OpenStack. Every week we have a meeting https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ProjectMeeting that tracks our progress toward this common goal. Read Thierry’s post if you want to know why. International Community Forum – Wednesday April 17 3.40pm in A105 http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/e45f299aad360fea432241f9b6067eca#.UWaWlrXLo2w If you are travelling to the OpenStack Summit from afar, we are holding an International Forum where we would like you to come along with your answer to the following question, “What’s an important, unique and interesting thing about OpenStack in my country”. The aim of the session is to share the answers so that we all might learn and gather new ideas for the improvement of the OpenStack community around the world!” It will be great to see just how many countries we can see represented in the one room, and a great opportunity for international networking. Understanding nova-conductor in OpenStack Nova http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/understanding-nova-conductor-in.html Nova conductor is a new service in Nova introduced in the Grizzly release. It as one of the top three changes in Nova in the Grizzly cycle, along with bare metal provisioning and cell. In this article, Yun Mao http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack discusses its pros and cons to help you understand it better. OpenStack Networking, use of “Quantum” http://markmail.org/message/w37tv4bgzxld7x4a We have to phase out the trademark or attention getting use of the code name “Quantum” when referring to the the OpenStack Networking project, as part of a legal agreement with Quantum Corporation, the owner of the “Quantum” trademark. The Board of Directors and Technical Committee members involved in Networking related development and documentation were notified so we could start working to remove “Quantum” from public references. At the summit we have a session scheduled to talk about project names generally and the path forward for OpenStack Networking specifically. For instance, in places where there is a need for something shorter, such as the CLI, we could come up with a new code name or use something more descriptive like “os-network.” This is a question it probably makes sense to look at across projects at the same time. If you have input on this, please come participate in the session Thursday April 18 at 4:10pm: http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/95df68f88b519a3e4981ed9da7cd1de5#.UWWOZBnR16A Tips and Tricks * By Andreas Jaeger http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenStack: Chef and Crowbar for setting up OpenStack clouds – with openSUSE and SUSE Cloud http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/2013/04/chef-and-crowbar-for-setting-up.html * By Mirantis http://www.mirantis.com/: Guest Post: Offloading CPU data traffic in OpenStack cloud with iSCSI over RDMA http://www.mirantis.com/blog/offloading-cpu-data-traffic-in-openstack-cloud-iscsi-over-rdma/ * By Xlcloud http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/OpenStack: Devstack with OpenStack Networking in a multi-node configuration http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Devstack+with+Quantum+in+a+multi-node+configuration?language=en * By Sébastien Han http://sebastien-han.fr/: Openstack: quickly fix mirrored queues errors http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/04/09/openstack-quickly-fix-mirrored-queues-errors/ * By Spilgames Engineering http://engineering.spilgames.com/: OpenStack with Open vSwitch and Networking (Folsom) on

[Openstack] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Mar 29 – Apr 5)
Highlights of the week OpenStack Grizzly http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/ Done: OpenStack’s 7th release, called “Grizzly”, is out: thank you, the over 500 stackers who contributed and the many more who participated in the OpenStack Summit last October where this release was planned. This release, more than any before it, was driven by users who have been running OpenStack in production for the past year (or more) and have asked for broader support for the compute, storage, and networking technologies they trust and even greater scale and ease of operations. Mark Collier’s http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/ post has a summary of the new features and a screencast of the updated OpenStack Dashboard. Building a Multi-Tier Application With OpenStack http://blog.aaronorosen.com/building-a-multi-tier-application-with-openstack/ In his blog post Aaron Rosen http://blog.aaronorosen.com/ shows how to build a simple multi-tier application on OpenStack, something that is made possible by the new features of OpenStack Grizzly: security groups and about Load-balancer-as-a-Service (LBaaS). Autoscale and Orchestration: the Heat of OpenStack http://technicae.cogitat.io/2013/04/autoscale-and-orchestration-heat-of.html Duncan McGreggor tells the story of how OpenStack orchestration service (codename Heat) is gaining new autoscaling features thanks to increased efforts by Rackspace. Following discussions at Pycon, Rackspace’s management decided to add two development teams to Heat and add some of the features that initially they were developing internally. Another good story of different companies collaborating inside the OpenStack Community. There will be no reliable cloud (part 1) http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/2013/04/03/there-will-be-no-reliable-cloud-part-1/ It’s the eternal debate about cloud and high availability, legacy enterprise applications and chaos monkeys. Hendrik Volkmer http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/ shares his thoughts, summarised in “Stop wasting your time trying to find one”. His suggestion: With all that free time, start to build reliable systems on top of unreliable clouds. Grizzly, the day after http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/grizzly-the-day-after/ Thierry’s, our fine release manager, wrote his therapeutic post-release essay, balancing the excitement of the new release and the sadness of all the things that could have done better. Put on relaxing music, sit back on the chair and listen like any therapist would do.

Re: [Openstack] CY13-Q1 Community Analysis — OpenStack vs OpenNebula vs Eucalyptus vs CloudStack
Thanks John, it's always interesting to see comparisons among different projects. Although comparisons are hard to make :) I was looking at the Participating Ratio, the ratio between “the number of posts” and “the number of topics” that in your post you assume it represents the participation rate of an online community. In your post you argue that the number of replies to a specific topic represents the attention being received, and the depth of discussion for that particular topic basically assuming that a high ratio is always better. I disagree with this assumption. My explanation for decreasing depth of discussions is that the topics discussed are less controversial and require less amount of messages to close. For OpenStack, patches and changes to code are not discussed on the mailing lists anymore but they are debated (sometimes heavily) on review.openstack.org instead (which your tools don't capture) while afaik cloudstack and other projects seem to review patches on the -dev mailing lists. Comparisons across these projects are hard indeed. You highlight OpenStack's decreasing 'participating ratio' leaving in the reader the impression that this must be bad but I don't think that's the right conclusion (nor the only one). I would suggest you to rename participating ratio into participating-bickering ratio: slightlgy longer but more neutral; lowering participating-bickering ratio is neither good nor bad and it forces reader to go investigate the causes (and you avoid being mis-quoted by some blogger/pundit that doesn't have time to dive deeper in the causes). Have you investigated and found other reasons for why the participating-bickering ratio changes so much for OpenStack (especially in the early days) and Cloudstack? Cheers, stef PS just a heads-up: we've added https://ask.openstack.org in March to our properties, so next quarter please add it as a source to your dataset On 04/02/2013 02:32 AM, Qingye Jiang (John) wrote: Hi all, I am glad to present to you the 6 edition of my quarterly analysis on this subject.

Highlights of the week Kwapi: an energy efficiency architecture http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Kwapi+an+energy+efficiency+architecture?language=en XLcloud HPC project focuses on providing high performance HPC services, while improving energy efficiency. Kwapi makes a smart use of data collected by Ceilometer interfaced with wattmeters in order to introduce power consumption statistics in OpenStack Nova scheduling strategies. Kwapi is stored on StackForge https://github.com/stackforge/kwapi and a blueprint is available here http://www.xlcloud.org/bin/view/XLcloudProjectManagement/EEA. Logging and debugging in OpenStack http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/logging-and-debugging-in-openstack/ The importance of debugging is much more noticeable on large projects like OpenStack, which require both developers and common users contribute and report when something is not going well. In #openstack-101 Victoria Martínez de la Cruz http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/ met many people wanting to start contributing to OpenStack, but a lot of them didn't know how to provide the right information to see where the problem was when they were facing a blocker. A must read for anybody starting (and a handy bookmark to provide to people stuck somewhere). Announcing Climate, the OpenStack capacity leasing project http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/openstack-climate-capacity-leasing A capacity leasing service is something really needed by service providers, especially in the context of cloud platforms dedicated to HPC style workload. Instead of building something really specific, the decision has been made to build a new standalone OpenStack components aiming to provide this kind of functionnality to OpenStack. In the spirit of others OpenStack components, it will be extensible to fullfil a large panel of needs around this problematic.

The NIC (and the network in general) is always thought of as a consumable resource involved in a data transfer. To a lesser extent the disk bandwidth is considered, and on occasion the system bus is as well. However, the effects on the CPU tend to be underestimated.

Highlights of the week We Wrote an OpenStack Operations Guide in 5 Days! And here it isthe OpenStack Operations Guide. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or print. The electronic formats are free to download so click away. The print version costs $29.90 andall proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to support more book sprints like the one that produced this book. Read from the protagonists how they did it: Lorin Hochstein, Everett Toews, Anne Gentle. Case Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting to opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data storage, elastic compute service resources, and data analytics. Given the powerful forces changing the economics of the overall health care marketplace, technologies that can address security and compliance at reduced cost are getting a lot of attention. OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release. OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. A super user with the reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit for an account and the account will not be able to have new objects/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas. OpenStack Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a new individual agreement. We graphed the data of the rate of signups: almost 400 developers signed in less than a week.

[Openstack] [COMMUNITY] The path to Ask OpenStack
[please reply only to commun...@lists.openstack.org] hello folks, we all push to improve how we interact with the OpenStack users, help newcomers find answers to their questions and ease their path to adoption. That's why we kickstarted the project Ask OpenStack. We're installing an instance of Askbot under the openstack.org domain, with the help of Askbot developers. It will have a custom skin and authentication based on Launchpad like the rest of our services. In the first phase it will support English and once we decide that we like it, we will start adding other languages so users will be able to ask questions and get answers in their own language. While the technical part of Ask is being done, I'd like to start talking about the organization of the content of the site, the static pages, etc. We'll probably also need moderators and OpenStack experts that can help answer questions on the site. If you want to help with these tasks please join the Community mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community where we can discuss the project further.

[Openstack] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 15 – 22)
Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming this weekend http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact information at https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements. On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is available for your convenience https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html (changes “LLC” to “Foundation”, restores a sentence from ASF https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/gerrit/cla.html and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: http://openstack.org/register/. OpenStack outpaces Amazon, at least by hype http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-outpaces-amazon-at-least-by-hype/ A study conducted by TrendKite shows that at this point OpenStack has more media mentions than Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, CloudStack and OpenNebula combined. If that is not enough, another chart from the same study appears to show that “OpenStack” media mentions are on par with that of “Cloud Computing.” CloudEnvy: Development in the cloud! http://jake.ai/cloudenvy-development-in-the-cloud Jake Dahn is working on a project called CloudEnvy which has potential to change the development patterns of web developers everywhere: it allows you to configure and distribute reproducible development environments in the cloud. Bring on the Crazy: Zero to Book in Five Days http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/02/bring-on-the-crazy-zero-to-book-in-five-days/ Anne Gentle is leading a “crazy” project: a large, highly focused documentation sprint to write that operator’s guide — for operators by operators. Anne promised to pluck operators out of their day jobs, put them in a room, fuel them with coffee, BBQ, and TexMex, and get to writing. Sounds awesome to me: I’m voting for their panel On Writing the OpenStack Operations Manual in 5 Days http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/vote-for-speakers/presentation/444 at the upcoming OpenStack Summit. The OpenStack Gate http://dague.net/2013/02/21/the-openstack-gate/ The OpenStack project has a really impressive continuous integration system, which is one of its core strengths as a project. Every proposed change to our gerrit review https://review.openstack.org/#/ system is subjected to a battery of tests on each commit, which has grown dramatically with time, and after formal review by core contributors, we run them all again before the merge. How can this gate merge hundreds of changes per day? Learn about Zuul, the OpenStack gatekeeper.

Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/ There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/ (OpenStack) Anita Kuno http://anteaya.info/, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/ There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/ Victoria Martínez de la Cruz http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

OpenStack 2012.2.3 released http://markmail.org/message/bgpbjlpadqjle57e In the time since the Folsom release, the maintainer of OpenStack stable branch have been busy selectively back-porting bugfixes to the *stable*/folsom branch according to our “safe source of high-impact fixes” criteria http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch. These releases are bugfix updates to Folsom and are intended to be relatively risk free with no intentional regressions or API changes. Read the full Release Notes http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/2012.2.3. Access OpenStack Swift as an FTP/SFTP service https://github.com/chmouel/ftp-cloudfs ftp-cloudfs is a proxy service that can be used to access to the object storage with any regular FTP client. The project is mature now and it’s in production at Memset and other cloud storage providers. Sftp-cloudfs offers similar abstraction but for the SFTP. The code is on github for both projects https://github.com/chmouel/ftp-cloudfs and https://github.com/Memset/sftpcloudfs Looking for active reviewers — and inclusion in QA-core http://markmail.org/message/wce54eimw6oowo2y As the OpenStack projects grow, so does *Tempest*. While the team has been successful recently in improving the runtime of *Tempest* and getting full test suite runs gating other projects, the number of new code submissions to *Tempest* has exploded recently as more contributors find their way to *Tempest*. What this means is that the team needs more people that do reviews.

Highlights of the week Project Incubation Process Update is Underway http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/project-incubation-process-update-is-underway/ Alan Clark, Chairman of the Board, wrote about the effort to improve the existing open source incubation process for OpenStack. This is one of the most important processes kickstarted by the OpenStack Foundation whose objective is to help ensure that projects receive the focus, visibility and resources needed to be successful via a fair, equitable and open process. Introducing the User Committee http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/introducing-the-user-committee/ Speaking of important processes, here is another one you should pay attention to: the OpenStack User Committee whose role is to represent the needs of the diverse range of OpenStack users. For those of you who would like to help define this committee, please look at the points to review https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yD8TfqUik2dt5xo_jMVHMl7tw9oIJnEndLK8YqEToyo/edit document and post your thoughts to the OpenStack foundation mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foundation. Debugging OpenStack with pycharm and pydevd https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/debugging-openstack-with-pycharm-and-pydevd/ The story of a conversion, that of John Bresnahan https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/ from being a strictly /vi/ user, developing C code and debugging with gdb, to an avid user of pycharm. This is a story of lost productivity of a once Luddite converted to IDE and of how he got to appreciate remote debugging via pydevd. Technical Committee Grizzly Update http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/technical-committee-grizzly-update/ While we wait for the final release of OpenStack Grizzly, here is a teaser of what’s coming up, with other updates from the OpenStack Technical Committee. Read it together with the Motion on Technical Committee membership for Spring 2013 session http://markmail.org/message/cozzeh2yph6mayhp. Let’s Get this Started! http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/lets-get-this-started/ And ‘this’ is the Outreach Program for Women, coordinated by GNOME, with OpenStack as one of ten participating organizations: we’ve added a few more ladies to the OpenStack contributors starting line this month. * Laura Alves da Quinta (http://ladquin.dreamwidth.org/), Buenos Aires, Argentina – working on Documentation with Anne Gentle * Anita Kuno (http://anteaya.info/), Haliburton, Ontario, Canada, working on Python Clients with Iccha Sethi * Victoria Martínez de la Cruz (http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/), Bahía Blanca, Argentina working on Horizon’s Workflows with Julie Pichon We are seeking sponsorships to bring all of them to the OpenStack Summit in Portland in April. If you are interested please contact Anne Gentle at anne.gen...@rackspace.com mailto:anne.gen...@rackspace.com. For a few thousand dollars, we can learn from them as much as they are learning from us. A great opportunity for some great interns! On-disk encryption prototype for OpenStack Swift http://www.mirantis.com/blog/on-disk-encryption-prototype-for-openstack-swift/ A few months ago, Mirantis engineers described the design of on-disk per-user encryption http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-swift-encryption-architecture/ of objects in Swift.

Highlights of the week My first week at OpenStack http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/my-first-week-at-openstack/ Victoria Martínez de la Cruz http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/ is one of the three interns working on OpenStack under the Outreach Program for Women (OPW –Anne Gentle shared some details about the program before.) She will be working on Tenant Deletion Workflow https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/tenant-deletion in the next months. This first blog post about OpenStack contains lots of good advice for any developer joining the community: a must read, for experienced developers, hiring managers and newcomers to this great community. Ceilometer Grizzly 2 Milestone Available http://blog.doughellmann.com/2013/01/ceilometer-grizzly-2-milestone-available.html The Ceilometer team is proud to announce the first synchronous milestone delivery with the OpenStack http://openstack.org/ project. Grizzly-2 https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/+milestone/grizzly-2 is also the last Folsom compatible version of Ceilometer https://launchpad.net/ceilometer as we are planning to introduce some breaking changes very soon in our trunk to enable a totally new set of features bringing Ceilometer beyond basic metering into monitoring and alerting. How many people does one need to build a multi-region cloud? http://freedomhui.com/2013/01/stacklabhow-many-people-it-needs-to-build-a-multi-regions-cloud/ Hui Cheng describes in details the StackLab project. Spearheaded by Sina, Intel, Gamewave, Xi’an Jiaotong University, South China University of Technology and others, it’s a non profit platform to try and test OpenStack. Sina’s OpenStack development team was responsible for the development, operations, and go online initially. More volunteers have joined the effort and are actively being recruited to get involved to this great career, which will accelerate OpenStack popularizing in China. An Image Transfers Service For OpenStack https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-for-openstack/ John Bresnahan https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/ makes the case for a new transfer service component in OpenStack. IaaS clouds must transfer VM images from the repositories in which they reside to compute nodes where they are booted. In the current state of OpenStack images download via HTTP to a nova-compute client speaking to the Glance image service. In the future proposed by John a transfers service would provide more predictable quality of service with horizontal scalability. Check his idea. Ceilomenter is looking for volunteers to take on unassigned blueprints http://lists.openstack/ The team is about to start implementing the blueprints for the g3 milestone, there are few blueprints which still don’t have anyone assigned to them. If you are looking for something useful to code, head over to see the list of things that you could be working on. Remember that contributions during the Grizzly lifecycle will get you a free ticket to the OpenStack Summit.

Highlights of the week -- Holiday edition Happy holidays from the whole team at the OpenStack Foundation. We wish you a merry time to spend with your beloved ones. DevStack on openSUSE, or how to quickly setup OpenStack on openSUSE http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2012/12/21/DevStack-on-openSUSE%2C-or-how-to-quickly-setup-OpenStack-on-openSUSE DevStack is a set of shell scripts to build complete OpenStack development environments. It is useful to create a small OpenStack environment that will be used for hacking, testing, etc. and is therefore primarily used for upstream development. Vincent Untz got DevStack to work on openSUSE. Ten Useful Openstack Swift Features http://www.17od.com/2012/12/19/ten-useful-openstack-swift-features/ Adrian Smith goes through some of the new features introduced in Swift 1.7.5 and their implication. If you want to learn about CORS support http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/misc.html#cors-headers, Etag, Object versioning and other nice features read his post. Introducing OpenStack Packstack http://goodsquishy.com/2012/12/introducing-openstack-packstack/ Derek Higgins developed a tool that is capable of installing OpenStack in a distributed environment using some of the most common configurations. Packstack can be used to transform Fedora 17/18, RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 servers into a functional Openstack Folsom deployment. The tool ssh's onto each server and apply's puppet manifests to set openstack up. On his blog post Derek outlines how to use his Packstack on Fedora 17. A look at individual membership in the OpenStack Foundation http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-look-at-individual-membership-in-the-openstack-foundation/ It's no secret that I like numbers and charts. If you like them too, then David Fishman's post is a must read for the holidays. Davide took a snapshot of the membership of the OpenStack Foundation using the publicly available data. Who are these people and what are their affiliations? What if anything does it say about the use and uptake of OpenStack cloud? What doesn't it say? And, like any data, what other useful questions does it raise? Remember that the OpenStack Foundation elections are coming http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/ and the holidays may be a good time to get to know the candidates http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/CandidateList for the Board of Directors.

Cheers, stef Original Message Subject:[openstack-community] Requesting volunteers to staff the OpenStack booth at the Open Compute Project Summit Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:06:02 -0600 (CST) From: kat...@openstack.org To: commun...@lists.openstack.org Hi everyone, I am the relatively new OpenStack Foundation industry events planner. I'll post this kind of request for community support for events from time to time. The Open Compute Project has provided OpenStack with a very nice 10' x 10' booth at the OCP Summit January 16-17 2013, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. The Foundation staff cannot attend, unfortunately. We're looking for volunteers to staff the booth. The Expo Hall is open both days from 8am - 6pm with peak times over breaks and lunch. Volunteers will have full conference access to attend keynotes, sessions, and evening cocktail party in addition to speaking with potential developers and users in the booth. We will provide everything needed (except travel expenses) including videos for the large monitor, collateral, OpenStack logo'd backdrop and more. Please reply to me directly at kat...@openstack.org mailto:kat...@openstack.org, by end of day Wednesday, December 19 if interested.

Highlights of the weeks OpenStack Outreach Program for Women Still Accepting Candidates http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-accepting-candidates/ We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. The Women in OpenStack group has already found some mentors for the program and ideas for projects are flowing in. If you know women that may be interested in joining OpenStack please tell them to read our blog post http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-accepting-candidates/ with more details. The deadline is approaching (Dec 3) and we still have place for candidates. OpenStack Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder, Quantum and Horizon 2012.2.1 released http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2012-November/57.html The OpenStack Stable Branch Maintainers Team has been busy selectively back-porting bugfixes to the stable/folsom branch according to our safe source of high-impact fixes criteria documented on the wiki page StableBranch http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch. We're happy to announce the 2012.2.1 release, the first in the series of releases to make available the bugfixes from stable/folsom. A total of 139 bugs have been fixed in this release, which is a higher than the usual volume of fixes in a stable release. What to expect from Grizzly-1 milestone http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/what-to-expect-from-grizzly-1-milestone/ The first milestone of the OpenStack Grizzly development cycle is just out http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2012-November/54.html. What should you expect from it? What significant new features were added? With more than 399 bugfixes landing in this milestone, Grizzly-1 contains already lots of new features. Thierry's blog post adds details for what changed in each component. Developing OpenStack Dashboard using Fedora http://www.matthias-runge.de/2012/11/20/developing-openstack-dashboard-using-fedora/ Many developers recommend using devstack http://devstack.org/ to work on OpenStack. Matthias Runge http://www.matthias-runge.de/ doesn't recommend that for Dashboard (Dan Berrange http://berrange.com/ has an article providing more details http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/20/what-devstack-does-to-your-host-when-setting-up-openstack-on-fedora-17/). Good news is, at least for OpenStack's dashboard, devstack is not required in any case, it just runs on plain Fedora. Matthias swears that the instructions provided for Fedora's test day https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-09-18_OpenStack worked great, no rocket science and no engineering master required. What DevStack does to your host when setting up OpenStack on Fedora 17 http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/20/what-devstack-does-to-your-host-when-setting-up-openstack-on-fedora-17/ DevStack is one of those huge, massive scripts that requires super user access to your machine. Understanding what it does to your setup is pretty complex. Daniel P. Berrangé http://berrange.com/ did most of the work for us investigating just what DevStack does to a Fedora 17 host when it is run. Fascinating read. The Future of Incubation and Core http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2012/11/17/the-future-of-incubation-and-core/ Mark McLoughlin summarizes quite well the ongoing discussion to define the future of Incubation nd Core. The OpenStack Technical Committee http://www.openstack.org/foundation/technical-committee/ and the OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors http://www.openstack.org/foundation/board-of-directors/ have pretty separate sets of responsibilities and can get on with their work independently. One exception to that is the inclusion of new projects in OpenStack. In the coming weeks, members of the two bodies will decide how to clarify confusion around the term core project and what exactly happens projects who graduate through OpenStack's Incubation process. A thread on the openstack-dev mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2012-November/thread.html#2387 is ongoing and is a great example of how a mailing list discussion can actually help to drive a rough consensus while still giving everyone an opportunity to express their views.// Driving a 100 Gigabit Network with OpenStack http://buriedlede.blogspot.com/2012/11/driving-100-gigabit-network-with.html Argonne National Laboratory is interested in building IaaS cloud systems that perform similarly to traditional HPC cluster-style systems for one of their projects. Narayan Desai https://plus.google.com/111442327943164013992 reports on the work to validate the ability of an Openstack system to drive large quantities of network bandwidth, memory to memory.
[Openstack] OpenStack Program For Women Accepting Candidates
Hello folks, We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. The Women in OpenStack group has already found some mentors for the program and ideas for projects are flowing in. Each internship will pay $5,000. We have funding from Rackspace and Red Hat for two participants, and the Foundation is also sponsoring one intern. Interns are expected to spend 40 hours a week on the project and applicants may not have ever worked on FLOSS before. Some ideas that interns may work on during the internship: http://wiki.openstack.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas If you know women that may be interested in joining OpenStack please tell them to read our blog post with more details http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-accepting-candidates/ The deadline is approaching (Dec 3) and we still have place for candidates.

Highlights of the week OpenStack Outreach Program for Women Accepting Candidates http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-accepting-candidates/ OpenStack provides open source software for building public and private clouds. We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen. Join the list of mentors, contribute ideas http://wiki.openstack.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas, apply as intern. What's new in libvirt for the OpenStack Nova Folsom release http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/16/what-was-new-in-libvirt-for-the-openstack-nova-folsom-release/ Even if Folsom has been out for a while now, Daniel P. Berrangé http://berrange.com/ provided a little more detail on some of the changes he was involved with making to the libvirt driver and what motivated them. Why to refactor the virt disk API in Nova http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/ When launching a virtual machine, Nova http://openstack.org/ has the ability to inject various files into the disk image immediately prior to boot up. Nova runs as an unprivileged user, and the guest files to be changed are typically owned as root. This means all the file injection commands need to run via Nova's rootwrap utility to gain root privileges. It should come as little surprise that this has already resulted in a security vulnerability / CVE https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg14089.html against Nova. The solution to this class of security problems is to decouple the file injection code from the host filesystem. Read more on Daniel's blog post http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/. Swift 1.7.5 Released http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/11/14/swift-1.7.5-release/ Swift 1.7.5 has been released. This release is the work of twenty-seven contributors and includes several important new features and bug fixes. Making keystoneclient python library a little easier to work with http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/11/11/making-keystoneclient-python-library-a-little-easier-to-work-with/ A quick guide to using the python keystoneclient library and some of its new features, with v2 API examples throughout. Installing OpenStack Nova Compute on Hyper-V http://www.cloudbase.it/installing-openstack-nova-compute-on-hyper-v/ A lot of work went on OpenStack and Hyper-V integration, with the result of bringing back Hyper-V in the Nova sources https://github.com/openstack/nova in time for the Folsom release. Get started with OpenStack and Hyper-V using the installer developed by Cloudbase Solutions.

Multifactor Auth and Keystone http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/multifactor-auth-and-keystone/ The topic of how to enforce multifactor authentication with Keystone tokens came up often during the Design Summit in San Diego. Adam Young http://adam.younglogic.com/ wrote a summary of the discussions. Link to the blueprint. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/multi-factor-authn PKI tokens and Horizon http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/pki-tokens-horizon/ With PKI, tokens have gone from 40 byte to 3000. This plus additional payload in Horizon means that they no longer fit inside an HTTP cookie. How do we deal with this?

Re: [Openstack] new mailing list for bare-metal provisioning
On 10/29/2012 12:32 PM, Thierry Carrez wrote: We really shouldn't go in that direction: the openstack-dev list is already an aggregator of topics, since we use mailman topics on it. Indeed, mailman topics are very powerful. The current topics for openstack-dev are listed on each subscriber's personal page: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/openstack-dev As a subscriber of openstack-dev I can decide to receive only messages tagged for a topic by selecting the ones I'm interested in. As a writer of a message I can tag it by adding the topic to the subject line of the message. For example, if I want to receive only messages for Nova, I can subscribe to the Nova topic at the link above. When I write a message about nova I have to add '[Nova]' (or 'Nova') anywhere in the subject. Creating a topic of bare-metal is easy, using topics is a matter of habit. I believe that we should not create more lists unless strictly necessary. I also understood from David that the baremetal group felt very strongly against using any of the existing list, even when I suggested to use topics. I'm glad we're having this conversation now and I'm open to any outcome. /stef ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Openstack] Looking for a mailman administrator
Hello folks, We need a new administrator for the mailman installation on lists.openstack.org. Duncan McGreggor has helped the community a lot in the past months, setting up the new machine, configuring and testing mailman's upgrades from the old servers and running the setup since June. I'm very grateful to him for this. He just communicated to me that he can't take care of lists.openstack.org anymore. The person should be familiar with mailman and have time to help migrate the General list from Launchpad to lists.openstack.org, as we agreed. If you (know somebody that) want to do it please contact me offlist.

[Openstack] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Oct 19-26)
Highlights of the week More coverage of OpenStack Summit We've all been catching some air this week, it seems. Some more reports from the community: * SDKs and an OpenStack Grizzly Summit Wrap Up http://blog.phymata.com/2012/10/22/sdks-and-an-openstack-grizzly-summit-wrap-up/ * Back from San Diego OpenStack Summit http://maffulli.net/2012/10/20/back-from-san-diego-openstack-summit/ * OpenStack Design Summit -- wrap-up and links http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/10/20/openstack-design-summit-wrap-up-and-links/ * Swift @ OpenStack Summit 2012 http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=971 * Feedback from Design Summit in the first part of the Project meeting log http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2012/project.2012-10-23-21.02.log.html * OpenStack Summit Beach Clean Up http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/10/openstack-summit-beach-clean-up/ with great pictures Inside Synaps, a CloudWatch-like implementation for OpenStack http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2012/openstack-synaps-exploration A few days ago, Samsung http://www.samsung.com/ released the source code of Synaps https://github.com/spcs/synaps, an implementation of the Amazon Web Service CloudWatch API http://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/ for OpenStack http://openstack.org/. Julien Danjou http://julien.danjou.info/blog/, a contributor to the Ceilometer http://launchpad.net/ceilometer project, gives a look at this project and how it could overlap with Ceilometer or other projects like Heat http://www.heat-api.org/. Why OpenStack doesn't need a Linus Torvalds http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/why-openstack-doesnt-need-a-linus-torvalds/ As comparing OpenStack with Linux becomes an increasingly popular exercise http://www.devx.com/blog/is-openstack-the-linux-of-cloud.html, it's only natural that people and press articles start to ask where the Linus of OpenStack is, or who the Linus of OpenStack http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/102412-openstack-linus-263659.html?hpg1=bn should be. This assumes that technical leaders could somehow be appointed in OpenStack. This assumes that the single dictator model is somehow reproducible or even desirable. And this assumes that the current technical leadership in OpenStack is somehow lacking. Thierry Carrez thinks all those three assumptions are wrong. Preauthorization in Keystone http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/preauthorization-in-keystone/ Sometimes you need to authorize a service to perform an action on your behalf. Often, that action takes place long after any authentication token you can provide would have expired. Currently, the only mechanism in Keystone that people can use is to share credentials. Adam Young http://adam.younglogic.com/ argues: We can do better. New wiki page: Software Development Kits http://wiki.openstack.org/SDKs SDKs are a vital part of any ecosystem and we need to start treating them as such in OpenStack. To do so we need to raise the profile and legitimacy of SDKs that support OpenStack. Heat version 7 released http://markmail.org/message/teb4mvtru6ismk7a Heat allows you to launch AWS CloudFormation templates on OpenStack. CloudFormation is a programmable interface and templating system for orchestrating multiple cloud applications. This version adds an OpenStack-native ReST API.

Yes, it will move to lists.openstack.org as soon as possible. Here is what needs to happen: - export list of subscribers and preferences from Launchpad (DONE) - test the exported list in a dev environment (TODO) Once the test is done, we need to define and publish a roadmap with deadline to close the LP list, close the LP list/team to new subscriptions/messages, export the final list from LP, import it into lists.openstack.org and move on. Honestly this last phase is not very clear to me yet. With the organization of the Summit taking priority, this task slipped in background. If you think this migration is urgent please state your reasons and the community may find resources to raise priority. /stef ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Openstack] Remote participation to Design Summit (was Re: [openstack] Summit coverage)
On 10/03/2012 03:33 PM, Stefano Maffulli wrote: Indeed, I've been working with WebEx to have a good experience for remote participation this year. I'm putting together the final details before I can push a full announcement. Having the calendar of the design summit (nearly) finalized by the end of this week would help. And here are the details for remote participation to the Design Summit: If you can’t make it to San Diego but you still want to participate in the sessions that will shape the future roadmap of OpenStack ‘Grizzly’ you can join the live audio streaming events on Webex. Kindly donated by Cisco Webex team (users of OpenStack themselves), the Webex session will run for the whole day from 9:30am to 6:00pm for each of the rooms Emma AB, Emma C, Windsor BC, Annie AB where the Design Summit will happen. Webex will be used to stream the audio of all conversations in the room where there will be enough microphones: remote participants will use the Webex chat to ask questions and people in the rooms will see the chat stream on one of the two projectors in each room. The sessions are ready for you to register, they’re identified by topic (Nova, Quantum, Cinder, Documentation, Common, Process, Swift): Day 1, Oct 16 Monday https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/onstage/g.php?p=0t=m Day 2, Oct 17 Tuesday https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/onstage/g.php?p=1t=m Day 3, Oct 18 Wednesday https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/onstage/g.php?p=2t=m Day 4, Oct 19 Thursday https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/onstage/g.php?p=3t=m Also, each entry on the official schedule of the Design Summit has a link to its proper Webex audio streaming session. There will also be a live video streaming for the general sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep an eye on the website and @openstack on Twitter for details. Known issue: Webex doesn’t support Java 64bit on Linux. If you try to join the voip conference Webex will complain that “The Audio Device is Unaccessible Now”. The most common workaround is to install 32bit Java environment alongside the 64bit one.

Re: [Openstack] [openstack] Summit coverage
Indeed, I've been working with WebEx to have a good experience for remote participation this year. I'm putting together the final details before I can push a full announcement. Having the calendar of the design summit (nearly) finalized by the end of this week would help. Stay tuned for details and links to remote registration. stef On Wed 03 Oct 2012 03:24:14 PM PDT, Endre Karlson wrote: Do you know the answer to this Stefano?

[Openstack] Tracking OpenStack adoption / Discussion at Summit
Hello folks, One of the objectives of the OpenStack Foundation is to Make OpenStack the ubiquitous cloud operating system. In order to reach that objective the Foundation needs to understand more about the usage of the OpenStack software. Until now we've been counting downloads from Launchpad but that source is less and less accurate because OpenStack Distributions have become the main form to test, run and deploy OpenStack. Something like the Canonical Census that sends the daily anonymous ‘I’m alive’ ping for each Ubuntu installation by OEM or Mozilla’s Telemetry that captures more sophisticated details to gain hindsights about usage of Firefox. (http://arewesnappyyet.com/) I filed a proposal to brainstorm at the Summit to identify new ways to measure usage of OpenStack around the world. I'd be glad if all product managers of OpenStack distributions and users contribute their opinions on it. thanks, .stef ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Openstack] Future of Launchpad OpenStack mailing list (this list)
I think the best option then is to clone openstack@launchpad in the new host and leave operators as is (at least for the moment). Suboptimal, maybe, but I believe it solves the issue at hand (consolidate lists on one host) and doens't create extra work or stress. If nobody stops me, I'll go on and contact Canonical's folks to get more details and will post a migration plan to this list soon.

Option C is actually like a B0 (single list for user/operators/general questions), but named openstack-operators instead of openstack, openstack-general or openstack-user[s]. I'm not a big fan of that option because there is no clear list for general discussion or newcomers questions. Where do you post things that are not how to operate and how to develop, but rather affect all our community ? For example an election nomination discussion ? The -operators name seem a lot too restrictive for that. That's why I actually prefer openstack (B2) as it's much clearer where those general discussions would belong. With option C (B0) we'll end up with general discussions scattered all over the place, people having to join all lists, redirected threads and a lot of cross-posting. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Like it would be good to understand what sort of topics we get on each lists. From what I see, the topics discussed on operators and on launchpad seem very similar to me. I'm leaning on the side of merging the two lists because even if the operators are a very specific, identifiable group of people, the discussions they have seem to be 'general'. I can run some numbers but I'm not sure what to look for. I can calculate the most frequent words in the subject lines in the operators lists (not on launchpad): would that give us an understanding of what discussions are being held there? How else would you mine the mailbox archives? One thing to keep in mind is that the more divisions there are in a set of things which are conceptually similar, the greater amount of confusion that will result... a sacred truth. I know that technically operators are different than users different than firstcomers to OpenStack. The reality of human interaction though is that nobody reads the descriptions of the lists and messages end up being posted randomly.

A few people suggested to use the exisiting openstack-operators mailing list as General list, therefore not creating anything new. Moving a group of over 4000 people from one list on Launchpad to another on our mailman is scary. Unfortunately we can't export the list of email addresses subscribed to Launchpad and invite them to another list (LP doesn't allow that). The first question is: * where would people go for general openstack usage questions (is 'operators' the best fit?) * Then, what do we do with Launchpad mailing list archives?

OpenStack Security blog: An oldie but a goodie Josh McKenty's EMEA Launch Slides http://secstack.org/2012/08/an-oldie-but-a-goodie-josh-mckentys-emea-launch-slides/ This is a pretty antiquated presentation. Plenty of stuff has changed in openstack since it was given, for better and for worse. But it gives you an idea that the origins of OpenStack were built with security in mind. When at NASA we had some pretty good security and policy guys contributing heavily to the sprint planning sessions we had. The result was a code base that was fairly flexible when it came to adjusting itself to meet policy requirements. Understanding VlanManager Network Flows in OpenStack Cloud: Six Scenarios http://www.mirantis.com/blog/vlanmanager-network-flow-analysis/ In a couple of recent posts http://www.mirantis.com/author/psiwczakmirantis-com/ Mirantis' engineer Piotr Siwczak http://www.mirantis.com/author/psiwczakmirantis-com/ covered some fundamental concepts of OpenStack networking, including VlanManager http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-vlanmanager/ and floating IPs http://www.mirantis.com/blog/configuring-floating-ip-addresses-networking-openstack-public-private-clouds/. This post builds upon such content and aims to present how traffic flows in different scenarios addressed by OpenStack.

Rostyslav Slipetskyys Thesis on OpenStack security This is a pretty awesome bit of work done by a researcher in Denmark. I enjoyed reading it and I highly recommend it as day 1 reading for Infosec professionals and researchers getting into OpenStack. Slides and you can download the full thesis (PDF). API Stability Statement It is critical to the success of OpenStack that operators be willing to upgrade to new OpenStack releases. All OpenStack APIs use a versioning scheme that is completely independent from the named releases (Essex, Folsom, etc.). One obstacle to upgrading to a new OpenStack release is if there are incompatible API changes that could cause user applications to stop working. Operators want great new features and APIs to be the only aspect of the upgrade process visible to their users. Old API versions should continue to work.

The bylaws have been discussed for months, the governance model is based on the processes and principles that have brought OpenStack where it is today. We can't stop every time to address theoretical concerns expressed by people that fundamentally don't trust us (and they don't have to). that the product has stability and compatibility issues. Like all products out there: nobody is perfect. Attack me for criticizing OpenStack when on a daily basis I am doing a lot of work to get into real world deployments. you've been criticised for your questionable choice of words not for the content of your criticism. While you probably ended up in somebody's killfile, your contributions are still appreciated by many because you *do* real things with OpenStack (differently from others that just like to *talk* about OpenStack). Let's stick to making a great product and have fun meanwhile: this is an exciting time. OpenStack Foundation is being born, well funded, supported by a wide spectrum of companies and lots of people.
