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/> The All New OpenStack Travel Support Program <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/the-all-new-openstack-travel-support-…> The OpenStack Foundation announces the availability of travel grants under the OpenStack Travel Support Program. The program’s aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of Open Design <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open>, one of the founding principles upon which the OpenStack project is built. Blow Out the Candles – OpenStack Turns 3! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/blow-out-the-candles-openstack-turns-…> OpenStack will celebrate it’s third birthday July 19, and we’re celebrating this month! In three short years, Openstack has truly emerged as the center of cloud innovation, with hundreds of companies around the world relying on OpenStack to run their business. OpenStack is maturing, it’s coming of age and new users being announced every week (Fidelity, Comcast, Best Buy, Bloomberg). Over the past three years, we’ve also seen OpenStack grow internationally. There are now over 40 global user groups and more than 10,000 community members across 121 countries. And we’ve recently crossed the 1,000 authors threshold to the code base. This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community! A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins <http://www.danplanet.com/blog/2013/07/10/a-tool-for-watching-zuul-and-jenki…> Dan Smith <http://www.danplanet.com/blog> wrote a very hacky text “dashboard” that merges the information from Gerrit and Zuul, and provides a periodically-refreshed view of what is going on. The tool is useful to keep close watch of patches, both to know when they’re close to merging, as well as to know early when they’re failing a test. Catching something early and pushing a fix will kill the job currently in progress and start over with the new patch. This is a more efficient use of resources and lowers the total amount of time before Jenkins will vote on the patch in such a case. Save Space: the final frontier – Erasure Codes with OpenStack Swift <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/07/10/erasure-codes-with-openstack-swift/> The Swift team announced an initiative to introduce erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. This initiative enables deployers to store data with erasure coding instead of or in addition to Swift’s 3-replica model.

[Swift] Swift 1.9.0 released: global clusters and more
by John Dickinson 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

I'm pleased to announce that Swift 1.9.0 has been released. This has been a great release with major features added, thanks to the combined effort of 37 different contributors. Full release notes: https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG Download: https://launchpad.net/swift/havana/1.9.0 Feature Summary =============== Full global clusters support ---------------------------- With this release, Swift fully supports global clusters. A single Swift cluster can now be deployed a wide geographic area (eg across an ocean or continent) and still provide high durability and availability. This feature has four major parts: * Region tier for data placement * Adjustable replica counts * Separate replication network support * Affinity on reads and writes Improvements in disk performance -------------------------------- The object server can now be configured to use threadpools to increase performance and smooth out latency on storage nodes. Also, many disk operations were reordered to increase reliablility and improve performance. This work is a direct result of the design summit sessions in Portland. Support for config directories ------------------------------ Swift now supports conf.d style config directories. This allows config snippets to be managed independently and composed into the full config for a Swift process. For example, a deployer can have a config snippet for each piece of proxy middleware. Multiple TempURL keys --------------------- The TempURL feature (temporary, signed URLs) now supports two signing keys. This allows users to safely rotate keys without invalidating existing signed URLs. Other ----- There's a ton of "other" stuff in this release including features, security fixes, general polishing, and bug fixes. I encourage you to check out the full release notes for more info (https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG). New Contributors ================ Twelve of the 37 total contributors are first-time contributors to Swift. They are: * Fabien Boucher (fabien.boucher(a)enovance.com) * Brian D. Burns (iosctr(a)gmail.com) * Alex Gaynor (alex.gaynor(a)gmail.com) * Edward Hope-Morley (opentastic(a)gmail.com) * Matthieu Huin (mhu(a)enovance.com) * Shri Javadekar (shrinand(a)maginatics.com) * Sergey Kraynev (skraynev(a)mirantis.com) * Dieter Plaetinck (dieter(a)vimeo.com) * Chuck Short (chuck.short(a)canonical.com) * Dmitry Ukov (dukov(a)mirantis.com) * Vladimir Vechkanov (vvechkanov(a)mirantis.com) * niu-zglinux (Niu.ZGlinux(a)gmail.com) Thank you to everyone who contributed. --John

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.

OpenStack 2013.1.2 released <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-June/000109.ht…> The OpenStack Stable Maintenance team is happy to announce the release of the 2013.1.2 stable Grizzly release. We have been busy reviewing and accepting backported bugfixes to the stable/grizzly branches. A total of 80 bugs have been fixed across all core projects. *OpenStack “I” ***release******naming** <http://markmail.org/message/mz3c7thc4oa5vbfc> The next release cycle for OpenStack, starting in November 2013 after we conclude the current *release* cycle (“Havana”) will be called Icehouse. <https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack/+poll/i-release-naming> Open Source Sysadmin: Reorganization of the OpenStack Infrastructure Docs <http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=8101> The OpenStack Infrastructure team is constantly evolving its documentation to make it easier for new contributors to join the team. 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. Enter OpenStack’s T-shirt Design Contest! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/enter-openstacks-t-shirt-design-conte…> *Show us your creative talent & submit an original design for our 2013 OpenStack T-shirt Design Contest! Winning design will be announced the last week in August 2013. **Details on **OpenStack blog <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/enter-openstacks-t-shirt-design-conte…>.* Async I/O and Python <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2013/06/04/async-io-and-python/> When you’re working on OpenStack, you’ll probably hear a lot of references to ‘async I/O’ and how eventlet is the library we use for this in OpenStack. But, well … what exactly is this mysterious ‘asynchronous I/O’ thing? Read it from Mark McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc>. Ceph integration in OpenStack: Grizzly update and roadmap for Havana <http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/06/03/ceph-integration-in-openstack-grizz…> Sébastien Han <http://sebastien-han.fr/> wrote a summary of the sessions about Ceph integration with OpenStack. His post contains details about upcoming features and a roadmap. OpenStack-Docker: How to manage your Linux Containers with Nova <http://blog.docker.io/2013/06/openstack-docker-manage-linux-containers-with…> A new approach to manage Linux Containers (LXC) within OpenStack Compute. The Docker project released a driver to deploy LXC with Docker, with multiple advantages over the “normal” virtual machines usually deployed by Nova.
