Brace yourself, DevStack Ceph is here! <http://techs.enovance.com/6572/brace-yourself-devstack-ceph-is-here> It's already a legend: after 7 months and 42(fortytwo) patch sets, Sebastien <https://review.openstack.org/#/cSebastien>Han's patch <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/65113/> got merged into DevStack. The patch configures things to bootstrap a Ceph cluster and then configure the OpenStack services Glance, Cinder, Cinder backup and Nova. A toast to Sebastien's persistence and to all Devstack maintainers who provided help. Coding all summer long in OpenStack <http://opensource.com/business/14/7/coding-all-summer-long-openstack> The end of Google Summer of Code <https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014> (GSoC) is near, and intern Victoria Martinez de la Cruz <http://opensource.com/business/14/7/coding-all-summer-long-openstack>shares her experience asan OpenStack intern with OpenStack. Keystone team looking for feedback The Keystone team is looking for feedback from the community on what type of Keystone Token is being used in your OpenStack deployments. This is to help us understand the use of the different providers and get information on the reasoning (if possible) that that token provider is being used. Please respond to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NZNDH3M Third Party CI group meeting summary: At this week's meeting the Third-Party group continued to discuss a new testing terminology proposal and and a proposal for recheck syntax. There was also a summary review of the proposed initial draft for a sharing of best practices and a good discussion on using templates for configuration files. Anyone deploying a third-party test system or interested in easing third-party involvement is welcome to attend the meetings. Minutes of ThirdParty meetings <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty> are carefully logged.
