I like that we are discussing the Global Reachout things which i personally 
feel is very important. There are many obstacle to have a standard global 
communication way. Honestly saying, there cannot be any standard communication 
channel which can accommodate different language, cultures , company/govt 
restriction. So the better we can do is best solution. 

I can understand that IRC cannot be used in China which is very painful and 
mostly it is used weChat. But there are few key points we need to consider for 
any social app to use?
- Technical discussions which needs more people to participate and need ref of 
links etc cannot be done on mobile app. You need desktop version of that app.
- Many of the social app have # of participation, invitation, logging 
restriction. 
- Those apps are not restricted to other place.
- It does not split the community members among more than one app or exiting 
channel.

With all those point, we need to think what all communication channel we really 
want to promote as community. 

IMO, we should educate and motivate people to participate over existing channel 
like IRC,  ML as much as possible. At least ML does not have any issue about 
usage. Ambassador and local user groups people can play a critical role here or 
local developers (i saw Alex volunteer for nova discussion in china) and they 
can ask them to start communication in ML or if they cannot then they can start 
the thread and proxy for them. 

I know slack is being used for Japan community and most of the communication 
there is in Japanese so i cannot help there even I join it. When talking to 
Akira (Japan Ambassador ) and as per him most of the developers do communicate 
in IRC, ML but users hesitate to do so because of culture and language. 

So if proposal is to participate community (Developers, TC, UC, Ambassador, 
User Group members etc) in local chat app and encourage people to move to ML 
etc then it is great idea. But if we want to promote all different chat app as 
community practice then, it can lead to lot of other problems than solving the 
current one.  For example:  It will divide the technical discussion etc

Re: [Openstack-operators] [Openstack-sigs] Open letter/request to TC candidates (and existing elected officials)

2018-09-17 Thread Rico Lin
Hope you all safely travel back to home now.

Here is the summarize from some discussions (as much as I can trigger or
attend) in PTG for SIGs/WGs expose and some idea for action,
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-September/134689.html

I also like the idea to at least expose the information of SIGs/WGs right
away. Feel free to give your feedback.

And not like the following message matters to anyone, but just in case. I
believe this is a goal for all group in the community so just don't let who
your duty, position, or full hand of good tasks to limit what you think
about the relative of this goal with you. Give your positive or negative
opinions to help us get a better shape.

[Openstack-operators] Network metadata+userdata and rate limits

2018-09-17 Thread Jean-Philippe Méthot
Hi,

We’ve been providing our VMs with metadata from the network for quite some time 
now and lately we’ve realized that when we reboot compute nodes for updates (so 
roughly 200 VMs are rebooting at once), some VM can’t access the metadata 
server. I believe this could be because of the nova-api ratelimiting, but I was 
unable to find proofs in the logs (No 403 forbidden at all in the log file). 
So, I was wondering :

-Can I disable the nova-api ratelimiting from paste-api.ini just as it was 
possible in kilo?
-Can I prevent cloud-init from running its latest user-data when it doesn’t 
receive metadata?

We currently use Pike on centos 7.

[Openstack-operators] Forum Topic Submission Period

2018-09-17 Thread Jimmy McArthur

Hello Everyone!

The Forum Topic Submission session started September 12 and will run 
through September 26th.  Now is the time to wrangle the topics you 
gathered during your Brainstorming Phase and start pushing forum topics 
through. Don't rely only on a PTL to make the agenda... step on up and 
place the items you consider important front and center.


As you may have noticed on the Forum Wiki 
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum), we're reusing the normal CFP 
tool this year. We did our best to remove Summit specific language, but 
if you notice something, just know that you are submitting to the 
Forum.  URL is here:


https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/call-for-presentations

Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions!

If you have questions or concerns about the process, please don't 
hesitate to reach out.


Cheers,
Jimmy

It depends on the version you're using.  The basics are that you'll
have to provide your sshd_config to the undercloud installation so
that it can be merged with the one from tripleo.

For >= Rocky you can use a custom_env_file to provide an updated
SshServerOptions.  The default can be viewed:
https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/blob/master/puppet/services/sshd.yaml#L41

For <= Queens you can use a hieradata override to specify an override
for tripleo::profile::base::sshd::options.  The defaults can be
viewed:
