Re: [Openstack-operators] [all] OpenStack voting by the numbers
On 07/29/2015 09:27 AM, Maish Saidel-Keesing wrote: Some of my thoughts on the Voting process. Excellent conversation starter, Maish. One piece that attracted my attention on your post is: Community and How to Contribute. Way down there in at the bottom. Is that because people already know how to do it? Because people have given up on trying? My gut answer to the question 'why so few' is because there is nothing to sell in that area. Except maybe for companies that want to be identified as 'thought leaders', there is no strong incentive to present in that area. Consider also that there is a separate track called 'Community' that IMO overlaps with 'How to contribute': summing these two submissions you get 78 proposals, on par with 'Apps' and 'Related OSS Projects'. In any case, 36 proposals for 'How to contribute' and 5 or 6 spots usually requires making plenty tough choices for track chairs, too :) /stef ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators

Five things every contributor should know about the OpenStack docs project http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/five-things-every-contributor-should-know-about-the-openstack-docs-project New docs contributors may be afraid of moving too fast and breaking things - but don’t worry, you can’t. A simpler markup language and a robust community of experienced, multilingual contributors make it even easier to find what you love and dive right in. Here are five key things you need to know about documentation but were probably afraid to ask. How the cloud can cut red tape http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-the-cloud-can-cut-red-tape The paperwork for opening a business or getting unemployment benefits often feels like a game of red-light/green-light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF-0xq4yrYoFor every bit of progress, you get pushed back to collect more documents or show those same documents to a different agency. That’s where OpenStack comes in, says Victor Lagunes, https://twitter.com/VictorLagunes CIO, office of the president of Mexico. https://twitter.com/PresidenciaMX About 18 months ago, the Mexican government started on a path to consolidate a staggering 4,000 federal websites for 6,500 services into a single portal to rule them all.

I would expect operators to be interested to know the details of what 'is-packaged' mean: are packages available in my favorite distro? how often are they built? If that information is not in the tag itself, then it should be visible somewhere else.

OpenStack users share how their deployments stack up http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/openstack-users-share-how-their-deployments-stack-up Some of OpenStack’s founding projects -- including Nova, Keystone, Glance, Horizon and Cinder -- continue to be the most popular. That may be changing, however. For starters, the inclusion of bare-metal provisioning project Ironic https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironicin the integrated release led to an increase across all deployment stages, including production, test and running a proof-of-concept (POC). Other projects, including Heat, Ceilometer, Swift and Trove, are also gaining in adoption, according to the recent User Survey. OpenStack application developers share insights http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/openstack-application-developers-share-insights Application developers working with OpenStack know what they want. Most are looking for clear, accurate documentation with emphasis on detailed working examples so they can get their jobs done. That’s one of key takeaways from the fifth consecutive survey conducted by the User Committee. http://www.openstack.org/foundation/user-committee/ How to get more women involved in tech? Communication, leadership and mentors http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-get-more-women-involved-in-tech-communication-leadership-and-mentors Whether the women considering the problem were developers, engineers or marketers, they all pinpointed that communication, leadership and mentorship were fundamental to getting more women involved. Think FICO is a credit scoring company?

Feature freeze + Kilo-3 development milestone available We just hit Feature Freeze, so please do not approve changes that add features or new configuration options unless those have been granted a feature freeze exception. This is also String Freeze, so you should avoid changing translatable strings. If you have to modify a translatable string, you should give a heads-up to the I18N team. Finally, this is also DepFreeze so you should avoid adding new dependencies (bumping oslo or openstack client libraries is OK until RC1). If you have a new dependency to add, raise a thread on openstack-dev about it. The kilo-3 development milestone was tagged, it contains more than 200 features and 825 bugfixes added since the kilo-2 milestone 6 weeks ago. More details on the full announcement. The joy of contributing to OpenStack Contributing to OpenStack doesn’t have to be painful. To ease these pain points, OpenStack developed free upstream training.. You can sign up for the next one by May 2. Another nice reading on the topic is Why your first OpenStack commit will always be the hardest, the interview with Susanne Balle, distinguished technologist with HP Cloud working on platform services. Leveraging OpenStackClient as your unified command line interface OpenStackClient v1.0.3 was released last week and this release includes a large number of feature requests and bug fixes. But the even more exciting news is that the OpenStack Technical Committee voted in favor to include OpenStackClient as part of it’s list of official projects! The newly integrated OpenStackClient project will include python-openstackclient, cliff and os-client-config. Handling High Email Volume with sup Over the last year, the openstack-dev mailing list has averaged 2500 messages every month. Staying on top of that much email can be challenging, especially with some of the consumer-grade email clients available today. Doug Hellmann recently upgraded his email setup to use sup, a terminal-based mail client. He says the switch helped him process the mailing list, and even keep up with gerrit at the same time. Sounds too good to be true to me. What do you think?

Five years in: Charting the OpenStack galaxy The Starship Enterprise had a five year mission, to explore strange new worlds, among other things, and as we approach the five year mark in our own mission, it's fun to think about the worlds we've seen and contemplate where to go next. Did anyone think we'd have a non-profit foundation in year three, with VMware joining right after we started it? Strange new worlds, indeed. Check out what's under the hood at TryStack Billed as the easiest way to try out OpenStack, this free service lets you test what the cloud can do for you, offering networking, storage, and compute instances, without having to go all in with your own hardware.

OpenStack Technical Committee Update: Project Reform Progress Over the last few months, the Technical Committee has been discussing plans to dissolve the binary concept of the integrated release and adapt our projects structure to the future needs of collaborative development in the OpenStack community. A specification was written to describe the rationale for the reform and its goals. In the past weeks, the OpenStack Technical Committee approved a first set of changes, affecting how OpenStack upstream teams and projects developed by our community are organized. Contributing to open cloud projects without losing your mind If you’re interested in contributing to OPNFV, OpenDaylight or OpenStack, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the process easier. Welcome to the wild west of networking and cloud infrastructure It may look like the wild west now, but the future of open networking and cloud infrastructure is bright. That’s the main takeaway from a panel featuring speakers from Red Hat, Ericsson, Cumulus Networks and the OpenStack Foundation moderated by Neela Jacques at the Linux Collaboration Summit. Nice APIs: Limits in OpenStack SDK Brian Curtin has been working with a team on the OpenStack SDK, a project aimed at providing a great experience for Python developers who use OpenStack. He and his colleagues want to enable people to build great things on top of OpenStack and are looking for feedback.

The Whys and Hows of the Oslo Namespace Change During the Kilo cycle the Oslo team has been busy deprecating the oslo. namespace in all of our projects.

Small openstack An interesting conversation on the Operators mailing list discussing request for small installation of openstack (about 3-5 nodes). The messages started in December, continued in January and drifted to discuss distributed glance. User self registration and management Adrian Turjak asked on the Development mailing list if there is any interest or need for an open-source user registration and management service for people using OpenStack. There seems to be a basic need a way for users to sign up themselves, choose their own password, and request new users to be added to their project. David Chadwick pointed to a blueprint and a demo of the system for University of Kent.Enrique Garcia also expressed interest in helping out in the effort.

Gate Bug Triage Conclusion A few months ago Matthew Treinish wrote about debugging a gate failure. He wrote an update about the conclusion to the triage efforts for the Out Of Memory failures on Neutron jobs. The cause of the failures was running out of memory but what was leading to the OOM failures wasn’t just limited to neutron. It was just that the neutron jobs ran with more services which used more memory which made failures there more common.
