<h4><a href="http://markmail.org/message/6qaxhvey3bamdj3f">Mark
your calendars: Bug triage day on June 7th</a></h4>
<p>Short on the heels of folsom-1 publication and the
upcoming Swift 1.5.0 release, it sounds like a good moment
to spend some time sanitizing the <strong>bug</strong>
databases for OpenStack projects. This can be achieved by
completing the tasks described on the <a
href="http://wiki.openstack.org/BugTriage"
rel="nofollow">BugTriage</a> page.</p>

Computing (VNC) in Nova. VNC is a very convenient tool for
end user to access the VMs by GUI. Nova provides two
kinds of VNC proxies: noVNC and nova-xvpvncproxy.</p>

<h4><strong> <a

Jenkins Job Filler</a></strong></h4>
<p><a title="LinuxJedi's /dev/null"
href="http://www.linuxjedi.co.uk/search/label/openstack">Andrew
Hutchings</a> describes the new tool to manage
OpenStack’s Jenkins server, with its ~300 jobs. Jenkins
Job Filler is the solution developed by the CI team to
keep the jobs under control.</p>
<h4><a href="http://markmail.org/message/am7lkomqyfhckgnm">New
git-based jenkins jobs and pre-approval check jobs</a></h4>
<p>Monty Taylor announced that now we have the basic jobs
for all of the projects (except Horizon) applied to
jenkins based on some scripts and some yaml files that are
in a git repo.anybody could conceivably do some hacking
and submit a change to gerrit, instead of the current
status quo which is that you have to be a jenkins admin to
touch anything. Also the CI team is now running merge
checks, pep8 checks and unittest jobs on the
patch-uploaded event and reporting the results into the
code review so that people can skip code reviewing patches
that don’t work yet.</p>
<h4><a href="http://markmail.org/message/qccflsi5iaryispa">Work
in progress on Openstack provider for Juju</a></h4>
<p>Robbie Williamson reported work in progress to add an
OpenStack API provider to complement the existing set of
EC2 and LXC (local dev) providers.</p>
<h4><a href="http://markmail.org/message/hxla3exawr2s76na">Nodejs
in horizon? Not at the moment</a></h4>
<p>A long discussion on the mailing list about adding
dependencies to the project, picking the best tools for
the job, the Not Invented Here and Reinventing The Wheel
syndrome. A very good read. The community of developers
agreed taht we will work to make node.js an optional build
time component and leave it as an distro packaging issue.
Node.js was being evaluated as a potential solution to <a
href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/realtime-communication"
rel="nofollow">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/realtime-communication</a>,
but that blueprint isn’t targeted for Folsom, so it’s very
future. There will be time to evaluate python based
alternatives.</p>
