Announcing firehose.openstack.org ================================= * A MQTT based unified message bus for infra services. * This allows a single place to go for consuming messages of events from infra services. * Two interfaces for subscribing to topics: - MQTT protocol on the default port - Websockets over port 80 * Launchpad and gerrit events are the only things currently sending message to firehose, but the plan is to expand this. * An example [1] of gerritbot on the consuming side, which has support for subscribing to gerrit event stream over MQTT. * A spec giving details on firehose [2]. * Docs on firehose [3]. * Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-September/103985.html Release countdown for week R-1, 26-30 ===================================== * Focus: All teams should be working on release-critical bugs before the final release. * General - 29th September is the deadline for the new release candidates or release from intermediary projects. - Quiet period to follow before the last release candidates on 6th October. * Release actions: - Projects not following the milestone-based release model who want a stable/newton branch created should talk to the release team. - Watch for translation patches and merge them quickly to ensure we have as many user-facing strings translated as possible in the release candidates. -- If your project has already been branched, make sure those patches are applied to the stable branch. - Liaisons for projects with independent deliverables should import the release history by preparing patches to openstack/release. * Important Dates: - Newton last RC, 29 September - Newton final release, 6 October - Newton release schedule [4] * Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-September/103252.html Removal of Security and OpenStackSalt Project Teams From the Big Tent ===================================================================== * The Security and OpenStackSalt projects are without PTLs. Projects leaderless default to the Technical Committee for decision of what to do with the project [5]. Majority of the Technical Committee has agreed to have these projects removed. * OpenStackSalt is a relatively new addition to the Big Tent, so if they got their act together, they could be reproposed. * We still need to care about security., and we still need a home for the vulnerability management team (VMT). The suggested way forward is to have the VMT apply to be its own official project team, and have security be a working group. * The Mitaka PTL for the Security mentions missing the election date, but provides some things the team has been working on: - Issuing Security Notes for Glance, Nova, Horizon, Bandit, Neutron and Barbican. - Updating the security guide (the book we wrote on securing OpenStack) - Hosting a midcycle and inducting new members - Supporting the VMT with several embargoed and complex vulnerabilities - Building up a security blog - Making OpenStack the biggest open source project to ever receive the Core - Infrastructure Initiative Best Practices Badge - Working on the OpenStack Security Whitepaper - Developing CI security tooling such as Bandit * One of the Technical Committee members privately received information that explains why the security PTL was not on top of things. With ~60 teams around there will always be one of two that miss, but here we're not sure it passes the bar of “non-alignment with the community” that would make the security team unfit to be an official OpenStack Team. * Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-September/thread.html#104170 [1] - http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/gerritbot/commit/?id=7c6e57983d499b16b3fabb864cf3b [2] - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack-infra/infra-specs/specs/firehose.html [3] - http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/firehose.html [4] - http://releases.openstack.org/newton/schedule.html [5] - http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html#technical-committee-and-ptl-elections __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
