Just wanted to take a minute to bring everybody up-to-speed on the
status of the Networking Guide.<br>
<br>
As many of you know, we are in the process of creating the OpenStack
Networking Guide, which is intended to create a resource for those
who may not have a deep networking background but now find
themselves enmeshed in OpenStack -- in other words, drowning.<br>
<br>
The group actively working on it includes Shaun McCance, Phil
Hopkins, and Matt Kassawara, with me sort of hovering and making
sure things don't get stuck. We are trying to hold weekly status
meetings at 11am EDT on Fridays; if anyone wants to attend, please
let me know and I'll make sure you get an invite. (We're using
Google Hangout.)<br>
<br>
Shaun has put together a spec for the document, which you can find
here: <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113597/" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113597/</a><br>
<br>
As you can see in that document, we've explicitly decided to focus
on Neutron, since nova-network is covered elsewhere and the urgency
of completing this for the Juno release is high due to the risk of
de-integration of the Neutron if we don't get it properly
documented.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree that the focus is neutron, but with the title being OpenStack Networking, the introduction absolutely must talk about nova-network and the considerations for when you'd use nova-network instead of neutron. I've asked for the spec to reflect this [1]. Even if it simply links to <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/network_design.html">http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/network_design.html</a> this book must indicate immediately that there are multiple considerations and network solutions. That's what I mean here. The Install Guide and Ops Guide will continue to have nova-network info, and the Networking Guide should point to those as needed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, I have to comment that the "we" in "if we don't get it properly documented" is not the Docs team by itself. It's a collaborative effort working with the neutron team. I've made sure at the special discussion TC meeting this week about integration requirements [2] that everyone knows our resourcing plans.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm so glad we're clarifying as we go, thanks for the update Nick.</div><div><br></div><div>Anne</div><div><br></div><div>1. <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113597/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/113597/</a></div>
