During the summit I spoke to a number of operators, vendors and developers on this topic. There was some support and some "That's crazy pants!" responses. I clearly didn't make it around to everyone, hence this email. Acknowledging my affiliation/bias: I work for Rackspace in the private cloud team. We support a number of customers currently running Juno that are, for a variety of reasons, challenged by the Kilo upgrade. The upstream strategy has been make upgrades unexciting, and then folks can move forward easily. I would really like to unpack what those various reasons are that people are trapped. Because figuring out why they feel that way is important data in what needs to be done better on upgrade support and testing. In reading this thread and Sean's post, I wonder out loud if we're seeing something somewhat new to OpenStack here, but perhaps not to other FOSS projects. Specifically does Kilo happen to mark a point where a much larger number of end users have adopted OpenStack and so we're starting to see a much greater number of visible and mainstream users facing the "upgrade difficulty question" ? If Juno us the point where we suddenly got an order of magnitude more deployments, then some point later you'll see an order of magnitude more end users struggling with how/when to upgrade. Really wish I could articulate this better, but perhaps the point can be distilled from the ramble...

[openstack-dev] Introducing Lwood - a weekly summary of openstack-dev traffic
Hi, For some months now I've been preparing a weekly summary of traffic on openstack-dev and distributing it to interested colleagues at Rackspace. It was pointed out to me that while somewhat specific in focus - I tend to only flag things that relate to what we're working on in our team - it might none the less be useful to a wider audience. So in the hope it is indeed of use, may I introduce "Last week on openstack-dev" (aka Lwood) to the community :) http://hugh.blemings.id.au/openstack/lwood/ Or if you prefer RSS http://hugh.blemings.id.au/category/Lwood/feed/ Feedback welcome :) I note there is some overlap with the great summary prepared by Mike and Jay that now appears in the Openstack Community newsletter, my hope is that it will be possible to contribute to or combine efforts somehow in the future :) I'll be adding it to planet.openstack.org in the next few days once I'm sure the RSS feed behaves as it should.

Nice people too. On the bandwidth side, as a regular reader I was under the impression that they struggled with their load already, but I guess if it comes with funding that could be an option. On the interest side, my past tries to invite them to the OpenStack Summit so that they could cover it (the way they cover other conferences) were rejected, so I have doubts in that area as well. Anyone having a personal connection that we could leverage to pursue that option further ? Sure, be glad to. I've added Jon to the cc list (if his openstack mail sorting scripts operate like mine, that will get his attention). I already had a preliminary discussion with him: lwn.net is interested but would need to hire an extra person to cover the added load. That makes it quite a big business investment for them. Excellent - I think Jon and Co. could bring a great deal to the table here and if that means finding a way to provide funding that would be effort well spent.

I've been discussing the idea of a LWN for OpenStack for some time, originally with Mark McLoughlin. For those who don't know it, LWN (lwn.net) is a source of quality tech reporting on Linux in general (and the kernel in particular). It's written by developers and tech reporters and funded by subscribers. An LWN-like OpenStack development newsletter would provide general status, dive into specific features, report on specific talks/conferences, summarize threads etc. It would be tremendously useful to the development community. The issue is, who can write such content ? It is a full-time job to produce authored content, you can't just copy (or link to) content produced elsewhere. It takes a very special kind of individual to write such content: the person has to be highly technical, able to tackle any topic, and totally connected with the OpenStack development community. That person has to be cross-project and ideally have already-built legitimacy. Here, you're being overly restrictive. Lwn.net isn't staffed by top level kernel maintainers (although it does solicit the occasional article from them). It's staffed by people who gained credibility via their insightful reporting rather than by their contributions. I see no reason why the same model wouldn't work for OpenStack. There is one technical difference: in the kernel, you can get all the information from the linux-kernel (and other mailing list) firehose if you're skilled enough to extract it. With OpenStack, openstack-dev isn't enough so you have to do other stuff as well, but that's more or less equivalent to additional research. It's basically the kind of profile every OpenStack company is struggling and fighting to hire. And that rare person should not really want to spend that much time developing (or become CTO of a startup) but prefer to write technical articles about what happens in OpenStack development. I'm not sure such a person exists. And a newsletter actually takes more than one such person, because it's a lot of work (even if not weekly). That's a bit pessimistic: followed to it's logical conclusion it would say that lwn.net can't exist either ... which is a bit of a contradiction. So as much as I'd like this to happen, I'm not convinced it's worth getting excited unless we have clear indication that we would have people willing and able to pull it off. The matter of who pays the bill is secondary -- I just don't think the profile exists. For the matter, I tried to push such an idea in the past and couldn't find anyone to fit the rare profile I think is needed to succeed. All the people I could think of had other more interesting things to do. I don't think things changed -- but I'd love to be proven wrong. Um, I assume you've thought of this already, but have you tried asking lwn.net? As you say above, they already fit the profile. Whether they have the bandwidth is another matter, but I believe their Chief Editor (Jon Corbet) may welcome a broadening of the funding base, particularly if the OpenStack foundation were offering seed funding for the endeavour. +2 I think asking LWN if they have the bandwidth and interest to do this would be ideal - they've credibility in the Free/Open Source space and a proven track record. Nice people too. More broadly I think these sorts of links could help OpenStack grow generally - no one would claim the Linux kernel development process to have been perfect, but it is at least of comparable complexity, breadth of development community and mix of personal and commercial interests.
