Highlights of the week
OpenStack Events at OSCON & Discounted Passes
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/06/openstack-events-at-oscon-discounted-passes/>
We have quite a few activities planned for OSCON to celebrate
OpenStack's second birthday. Kicking off with the first OpenStack Day
<http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012/public/content/open-stack>, Tuesday July
17, there will be lots of OpenStack speakers, events and community
members in attendance. Full details on the blog.
Thoughts on improving OpenStack GIT commit practice/history
<http://berrange.com/posts/2012/06/27/thoughts-on-improving-openstack-git-commit-practicehistory/>
Daniel P. Berrangé <http://berrange.com/> started a discussion about git
commit practice based on his personal experience over the past few
months getting involved with OpenStack Nova through learning the
codebase, examining its history, writing code and participating in
reviews. There is a discussion about it also on the OpenStack developer
list <https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg13742.html>.
Sumo nodes for OpenStack Swift: Mixing storage and proxy services
for better performance and lower TCO
<http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=812>
Zmanda present a novel way to build storage clouds with higher
throughput bandwidth but with lower initial hardware purchase cost and
lower ongoing IT-related costs by using nodes in a Swift cloud which mix
storage and proxy services.
How to improve our bug triaging?
<http://markmail.org/message/zouvoxu7dmo5bduw>
Thierry Carrez started an important conversation. At the beginning of
the month we had a BugTriage day that allowed us to make the Nova bug
database much more relevant and triage a lot of incoming new bugs.
However, since then, the numbers went up again. How would you resolve
this issue?
A collection of utilities for cleaning up the database
<http://markmail.org/message/gygnjvdy3njwfrtg>
Lars Kellogg-Stedman released a small collection of tools to clear
things out of the Nova database that constantly fills with garbage while
testing and developing. More.
