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?

Hi everyone, We just hit feature freeze[1], so please do not approve changes that add features or new configuration options unless those have been granted a feature freeze exception.

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 User Groups get a new home It’s easy to stay in touch with OpenStack birds-of-a-feather wherever you are, from India to Italy, with the new OpenStack User Groups portal. Even with events all over the globe, it's super simple to stay current — join a group, and you’ll be notified of new events when they're created. The facets of the OpenStack integrated release Thierry Carrez looks into the various meanings the "integrated release" ended up having in our history, and see how we can better convey that information through separate tags. DefCore Process 9 Point Graphic balances Community, Vendor, Goverance Rob Hirschfeld has been working on the OpenStack DefCore process for nearly 3 years and he recognizes that the number #1 challenge of the effort remains how to explain it simply.

OpenStack DefCore Accelerates & Simplifies with Clear and Timely Guidelines [Feedback?] Last week, the OpenStack DefCore committee rolled up our collective sleeves and got to work in a serious way. We had a in-person meeting with great turn out with 5 board members, Foundation executives/staff and good community engagement. TL;DR > We think DefCore deliverables should be dated milestone guidelines instead tightly coupled to release events (see graphic on Rob Hirschfeld's blog). Scaling OpenStack Neutron Development During Kilo cycle, Neutron's team has made an effort to expand and scale the Neutron development community. Plugin Decomposition and Advanced Services Split were designed to enable a more scalable development environment which will allow for fast code iteration in all the areas affected. How have we done with these? OpenStack + Kubernetes = More choice and flexibility for developers Sometimes a demo can go almost too well. By the time Craig Peters and Georgy Okrokvertskhov took the mic to show how OpenStack support for Kubernetes makes managing Docker containers pretty much a point-and-click operation, the crowd at the Kubernetes San Francisco meetup was almost hoping for a glitch. Instead, in just under 10 minutes, the pair did a seamless walk-through of how to set up a Kubernetes cluster using OpenStack in the final demo of the night. The Road to Vancouver * Sign up for OpenStack Upstream Training in Vancouver * Superuser Awards Nominations Now Open * Vancouver Summit Sponsorships Now Available * Canada Visa Information * Official Hotel Room Blocks * Next batch of invites to Kilo contributors will be sent after a new milestone is released Relevant Conversations * creating a unified developer reference manual * Re-evaluating the suitability of the 6 month release cycle * DefCore isn't a punk band, but if you use OpenStack, listen up * GSoC2015: Its time for potential mentors and participants!
