Hong Kong Summit -- Registration, Call for Speakers & Sponsors Now Open! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/hong-kong-summit-registration-call-fo…> ???????????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> OpenStack Summit Survey Results <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/openstack-summit-survey-results/> Key Findings: * *Overall: 96% of people rating the overall Summit as Good or Excellent. * * *Top areas to improve:* Clearly the Network and the Session Rooms (size, acoustics, equipment) were unacceptable. * *Format:* Stackers favored keeping the Design Summit co-located with the rest of the Summit sessions by a margin of 4:1 over breaking it out separately Up for a challenge? Here's the OpenStack Essentials quiz! <http://www.hastexo.com/blogs/florian/2013/06/24/challenge-heres-openstack-e…> Novice, hotshot, expert or wizard? Show off your OpenStack knowledge in this brand new quiz by Florian Haas <http://www.hastexo.com/blogs/florian/tag/openstack/feed>. The *OpenStack Essentials quiz <http://www.hastexo.com/resources/quizzes/openstack-essentials-grizzly>* is a challenging, fun way for you to test your OpenStack knowledge. It takes no more than 30 minutes, or maybe even just 10 if you're super awesome. Python APIs: The best-kept secret of OpenStack <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-openstack-pythonapis/ind…> As an OpenStack user or administrator, you often need to write scripts to automate common tasks. In addition to the REST and command-line interfaces, OpenStack exposes native Python API bindings. Learn how to use these Python bindings to greatly simplify the process of writing OpenStack automation scripts. An article on DeveloperWorks by Lorin Hochstein <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-openstack-pythonapis/ind…>, Lead Architect, Cloud Services, Nimbis Services A puppet module for building Windows/Hyper-V OpenStack Compute nodes <https://github.com/ppouliot/ppouliot-openstack-hyper-v> Peter Pouliot <http://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/311> has been working on a A starting point for building Windows/Hyper-V OpenStack Compute nodes. The modules he recently pushed begin the configuration of a openstack-hyper-v compute node for openstack. It currently has the beginings of both from package and from source options. This is still a work in progress, contributions are welcome.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-017 CVE: CVE-2013-2166, CVE-2013-2167 Date: June 19, 2013 Title: Issues in Keystone middleware memcache signing/encryption feature Reporter: Paul McMillan (Nebula) Products: python-keystoneclient Affects: version 0.2.3 to 0.2.5 Description: Paul McMillan from Nebula reported multiple issues in the implementation of memcache signing/encryption feature in Keystone client middleware. An attacker with direct write access to the memcache backend (or in a man-in-the-middle position) could insert malicious data and potentially bypass the encryption (CVE-2013-2166) or signing (CVE-2013-2167) security strategy that was specified. Only setups that make use of memcache caching in the Keystone middleware (specify memcache_servers) and using ENCRYPT or MAC as their memcache_security_strategy are affected. python-keystoneclient fix (will be included in upcoming 0.2.6 release): https://review.openstack.org/#/c/33661 References: https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-keystoneclient/+bug/1175367 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-2166 https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-keystoneclient/+bug/1175368 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-2167 - -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRwdC5AAoJEFB6+JAlsQQjOTQP/1q8R6aPU9RcbsZ5pRm4YU7L gp1XHpoCKmAAFhPjVbjOXLfW0xAfa0B+ATG/BeM4dvysgnQIRb21D4vu4wqCyLq/ Mw6pvytEyd5hGWpSY5eG6cQJ+UrACRDRgjMDIrR6PkwfWK0wW1p+2XzbzH9WIO7F u4/oneUOSlN04wLd1qx0hy2mybFGUu8rPsJyaPJq2qivhGOwIOq85WddurtK1wXl aTdYnavJxmUsTLFHjlpveKaEmlGrYNxeAMTpkZiSANPxU9rcjZNNEmgdGriV1Cdp U3A08z+s7UiZT10cXg3y3C3pNV+upiS5b939fvrSCdJcMmSUBDZ9Bz9zpMYZ/EZm gJLBe2HskHmOfUzdgmVla2HLKqex/no4aLqbVBLkpFhkesKWz+2mTjvTAygjL5vg Ps8viGv80b1DwSUoyI22VChDkXmarkfOFbIdl7yu3h6LDXOSUawA1OiELjlSHyB4 AM1Vl3bSYT9MSHvwymSd4ML/nH01nE0COb1kLzWEqDyFUfq6NjyCOkb74rgrjLH5 E1LVG/4DyYtQ0unOtIT2wyYqEUINAV/qv/GwkhMqroGbPle63+OLRaDtVSciiEdj z/ljz6eMGEeD/cHi80yhsKGo0HjmXzG3X83Y6cSaqWbXUvIw0kbidLwX4fzlnGr0 JCWckqbCAwwKyRNAADVb =1zJ2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Welcome Heidi, Margie, Jeremy, and Tom to the OpenStack Foundation team! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/welcome-heidi-margie-jeremy-and-tom-t…> Since the Foundation launched last September, we’ve continued to build out a diverse team. This has been a big focus to keep up with the incredible growth in the OpenStack community with another new software release (Grizzly), the Portland Summit with over 2600 people (double San Diego!), and the start of the work to organize the first international Summit in Hong Kong (expecting over 4,000 people). To keep up with such amazing growth, we expanded the team with new roles to drive adoption of the software, support the development process and grow the OpenStack ecosystem. Heidi Bretz joined as Director of Business Development, Margie Callard as Marketing Manager, Jeremy Stanley as Infrastructure Engineer and Tom Fifield as User Community Manager. Openstack Grizzly with Nicira NVP Plugin Provider Router Use Case with NAT <http://www.cloudactual.com/2013/06/openstack-grizzly-with-nicira-nvp.html> This post by Thomas Kraus <http://www.cloudactual.com/search/label/openstack> reviews a common use-case for Openstack Networking and show step by step how to achieve the requirements for this use case using Openstack Networking in the Grizzly release with the Nicira Network Virtualization plugin for Openstack. The OpenStack Community Welcomes Developers in All Programming Languages <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/06/12/the-openstack-community-welcomes-develop…> If you ever encounter someone looking for help with any non-python language, you can always point them to the SDKs wiki page <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SDKs>. They should be able to find their way from there. How non developers can contribute to OpenStack <http://www.muktware.com/5634/how-non-developers-can-contribute-openstack> One common question many of us involved in OpenStack receive is: “I am not a developer: how can I contribute to OpenStack?” Atul Jha wrapped up some possible answers to this question. OpenStack at EuroPython 2013 among Reinassance masterpieces <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/openstack-at-europython-2013-among-re…> If you ever wanted the chance to learn about OpenStack and see the masterpieces by Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Ghiberti and so many others your best chance is to join us at Europython 2013 <https://ep2013.europython.eu/>. Hosted in Firenze July 1-7, Europython 2013 will see a massive OpenStack-related presence, including one half day training session to get started. The OpenStack Foundation will have a booth there and most likely a Help Desk session, where people interested can reserve time to talk to OpenStack experts in real life, under the Tuscan sun.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-015 CVE: CVE-2013-2157 Date: June 13, 2013 Title: Authentication bypass when using LDAP backend Reporter: Jose Castro Leon (CERN) Products: Keystone Affects: Folsom, Grizzly Description: Jose Castro Leon from CERN reported a vulnerability in the way the Keystone LDAP backend authenticates users. When provided with an empty password, the backend would perform an anonymous LDAP bind that would result in successfully authenticating the user. An attacker could therefore easily impersonate and get valid tokens for any user. Only Keystone setups using LDAP authentication backend are affected.

Last week documentation for the OpenStack Project Infrastructure <http://ci.openstack.org/> was reorganised “to re-orient the documentation as an introduction for new contributors and a reference for all contributors.” All of the CI tools are open source, the puppet and other configurations are all hosted in public revision control <https://github.com/openstack-infra/config> and any changes submitted are made by the same process all other changes in OpenStack are made <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow>. They go through automated tests in Jenkins to test applicable syntax and other formatting and the code changes submitted are reviewed by peers and approved by members of the infrastructure team. This has made it super easy it is for the team to collaborate on changes and offer suggestions (much better than endless pastebins or sharing a screen session with a fellow sysadmin!), plus with all changes in revision control it’s easy to track down where things went wrong and revert as necessary.
