September 2013 PTL elections - Final results
by Anita Kuno 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

Thank you to the electorate, to all those who voted and to all candidates who put their name forward for PTL for this election. A healthy, open process breeds trust in our decision making capability - thank you to all those who make this process possible. Now for the results of the PTL election process, please join me in extending congratulations to the following PTLs: * Compute (Nova) o Russell Bryant * Object Storage (Swift) o John Dickinson * Image Service (Glance) o Mark Washenberger * Identity (Keystone) o Dolph Mathews * Dashboard (Horizon) o Gabriel Hurley * Networking (Neutron) o Mark McClain * Block Storage (Cinder) o John Griffith * Metering/Monitoring (Ceilometer) o Julien Danjou * Orchestration (Heat) o Steve Baker * Database Service (Trove) o Michael Basnight * Bare metal (Ironic) o Devananda van der Veen * Queue service (Marconi) o Kurt Griffiths * Common Libraries (Oslo) o Doug Hellmann * Infrastructure o James E. Blair * Documentation o Anne Gentle * Quality Assurance (QA) o Sean Dague * Deployment (TripleO) o Robert Collins * Devstack (DevStack) o Dean Troyer * Release cycle management o Thierry Carrez * Savanna o Sergey Lukjanov Election Results: Cinder: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_8f0141cdd… Heat: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_bf6cc46f0… Horizon: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_18f40a4ba… Please note that I include the Savanna PTL in this list though Savanna was not part of the original PTL announcement for this round [0], as the program became incubated during the election process [1]. I evaluated the documentation surrounding the Savanna PTL election process as I was requested to do, concluding that their electorate had knowingly elected their PTL to remain in position until the conclusion of the Icehouse release, should the program be incubated. Links to Savanna election process [2][3][4] [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-September/015369.ht… [1]http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-24-20.01.html [2] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/savanna/2013/savanna.2013-08-15-18.… [3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-August/013447.html [4] http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_cf7af88be… I have posted the announcement to the openstack-dev mailing list opening TC nominations. We are into the TC election process. Thierry and I will both be officiating the TC election. Thank you to all involved in the PTL election process, Anita Kuno. (anteaya)

OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove)will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (Marconi) and bare-metal server provisioning (Ironic) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release. MapReduce as a service <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/25#savanna-incubation> (Savanna) will also be incubated. How to Use Ask OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/how-to-use-ask-openstack/> We're continuously building together "The best place on the Internet to find answers to common OpenStack problems": our Question&Answers site Ask <https://ask.openstack.org/>OpenStack <https://ask.openstack.org/> is such place and needs everybody's help. Ask OpenStack is a collaborative effort, think of it like a wiki where pages are made only of questions and answers. Anybody with more than 100 karma points can fix a question or an answer and anybody can gain karma points by getting votes on answers and/or questions. Introducing the NNFI scheduler for Zuul <http://amo-probos.org/post/16> We recently made a change to Zuul's scheduling algorithm (how it determines which changes to combine together and run tests). Now when a change fails tests (or has a merge conflict), Zuul will move it out of the series of changes that it is stacking together to be tested, but it will still keep that change's position in the queue. Jobs for changes behind it will be restarted without the failed change in their proposed repo states.

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/?source=o12> ? ??????????????????? ???????, ???????? <https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6786581849/o12> The last batch of invites to the Summit for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors will be send in the next 10 days. If you have committed code or documentation before September 6 expect official communication soon. Participate in the OpenStack User Survey by September 30! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/participate-in-the-openstack-user-sur…> We're kicking off the second round of the OpenStack User Survey this month! You may remember before the April Summit we helped the User Committee run a survey to aggregate OpenStack deployments and share the results. OpenStack Docs Boot Camp Wrap Up <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/09/13/openstack-docs-boot-camp-wrap-up/> We gathered about 20 writers and developers who wanted to learn about OpenStack documentation in the Mirantis training room for two days this week in Mountain View, California. The idea for a docs boot camp came from the OpenStack Infrastructure team who held one back in June <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/infrastructure-bootcamp/>. We wanted to enable more people to contribute to OpenStack documentation through in-person training and team building. It's not like a book sprint, with the goal of a book in five days, but rather a training session, with questions and answers in real time. Read the full report from Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/>.

[OSSA 2013-026] Potential denial of service on Nova when using Qpid (CVE-2013-4261)
by Thierry Carrez 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-026 CVE: CVE-2013-4261 Date: September 12, 2013 Title: Potential denial of service on Nova when using Qpid Reporter: Jaroslav Henner (Red Hat) Products: Nova Affects: Folsom, Grizzly Description: Jaroslav Henner from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Nova when using Apache Qpid as the RPC backend. By sending any random text longer than 65K characters to an instance console and requesting the console log contents through the API, an authenticated user may disrupt the nova-compute node his instance is running on. This vulnerability could be leveraged in a Denial of Service attack against the cloud provider. Only Folsom and Grizzly setups using Qpid as their RPC backend are affected. Havana setups, or setups using other RPC backends (like RabbitMQ), are all unaffected. Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/43303/ Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/45426/ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-4261 https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1215091 Regards, - -- Thierry Carrez OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSMducAAoJEFB6+JAlsQQjYqUP/1ebNaaz+k3DxiRfoNpsbRkV EKJtD/W/6/UkCYUzPNGGZSl1ijp9CEQXh6IL82lTBw82nTbsHc3mt22FgusdU6WZ JH6PevC95PlyNWQYsUGO5GzQ6lb28VjzgYUt36Z2ZatQ4lUGJHv9iZcsIBVYayJy OKPnnt2ztiG62B88Ka1GQx4iyEtU50QCcpZEbWHcX5dIXWfWWfYNEMVU+gIfaxlo sVZH+up2ERKVDH7l/JzhvD4ut1zAoM0sp29/GROJLmzh1dqd9P+QIh5WO4e6VLZp 5y90uMZ03O1lN16IZE0B3r9JBc9ekn7JhJ5YXBvwM+Z3Am1ZlDjUL1ojiZ2aBT9B RnPF/oz4CsuGXjghg0mzPrjJuwR/Z46pg1t92FbVXW94Fxx7VfORLF6ELaDoqoiu nmRUpDQxpg+dYw7OS9lQF10eC2M6S0EwKWzlQlloZGR5/kG9VR4fyhLE1w8+YrRF Gr8pDaF6MJoxZxxb4rRhaDsPaXuUX/QPr0GsMeCy6vfV+yX/Yk99YJoNtar7Z7I+ llslcbaet3C2sONR2EbCD2J03E8/3VztdkG32iVGwxn0LHh2K1o+wfno73w1PW4u DV4LIvbypZgmMEbVzHDkDGs1jOfSzFzDhIsCtgEih53rr2HIsd8AmkWeTPirpXN6 EOmohe9HXVlvPUPcVJNd =zUsw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[OSSA 2013-025] Token revocation failure using Keystone memcache/KVS backends (CVE-2013-4294)
by Thierry Carrez 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-025 CVE: CVE-2013-4294 Date: September 11, 2013 Title: Token revocation failure using Keystone memcache/KVS backends Reporter: Kieran Spear (University of Melbourne) Products: Keystone Affects: Folsom, Grizzly Description: Kieran Spear from the University of Melbourne reported a vulnerability in Keystone memcache and KVS token backends. The PKI token revocation lists stored the entire token instead of the token ID, triggering comparison failures, ultimately resulting in revoked PKI tokens still being considered valid.

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013Register> ?????? ?????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> OpenStack Heat and Ceilometer got their dashboard panel <http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/09/06/openstack-heat-and-ceilometer-got-t…> The Havana milestone release of the Horizon dashboard brought an absolutely wonderful panel for Heat, the orchestration service and Ceilometer, the metering service. Enjoy a preview before the Havana’s official release. OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove>) will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (codename Marconi <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Marconi>) and bare-metal server provisioning (codename Ironic <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic>) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release. Bringing Go To The Cloud With The Gophercloud SDK <http://www.rackspace.com/blog/bringing-go-to-the-cloud-with-the-gophercloud…> Go is a rapidly emerging programming language created out of Google by Rob Pike and Ken Thompson. Rackspace is investing in Go by creating a multi-cloud software development kit (SDK) for the Go programming community called Gophercloud <https://github.com/rackspace/gophercloud>. It will support OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> first, Rackspace Cloud <http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/> second. Scaling the OpenStack Test Environment <http://amo-probos.org/post/15> A year ago James Blair <http://amo-probos.org/> introduced Zuul <https://launchpad.net/zuul>, a program he developed to drive the OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> project’s gating system. In short, each change to an OpenStack project must pass unit and integration tests before it is merged. Over the past year, the OpenStack project has grown tremendously, with 62 git repositories related to OpenStack, 30 for the project infrastructure, and an additional 75 unofficial projects that share the same testing infrastructure. In all, the development infrastructure currently serves 167 repositories. They run up to *720 test jobs per hour*, and our dynamic provisioning system has pushed our test node count up to 328 nodes online and running tests simultaneously. Over the past year, the OpenStack Infra team made a large number of changes to prepare for this load. This blog post by jeblair has some of the key innovations that help us test at scale. For VIM users out there: <https://github.com/ameade/qtpy-vim>qtpy.vim <https://github.com/ameade/qtpy-vim> A simple way of running python unit tests from within VIM based on the cursor location. Useful for receiving immediate feedback as you write tests, despite what test runner or framework your project uses to run its tests.

Havana-3 development milestone available
by Thierry Carrez 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

Hi everyone, The last milestone in the Havana development cycle, "havana-3" is now available for Keystone, Glance, Nova, Horizon, Neutron, Cinder, Ceilometer, and Heat. In the last 7 weeks, more than 200 features were added and more than 750 bugs fixed (!). You can see the full list of new features and fixed bugs, as well as tarball downloads, at: https://launchpad.net/keystone/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/glance/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/nova/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/horizon/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/neutron/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/cinder/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/heat/havana/havana-3 This milestone is nearly feature-complete. A few exceptions should land next week, but those projects are otherwise feature-frozen in preparation of the first Havana release candidate. We should now all switch to testing and bugfixing mode for the next weeks, and make Havana as bug-free as we can. The release-critical bugs will be tracked on the havana-rc1 milestone pages. Once all those bugs are fixed and the first release candidates are out, the next development cycle (Icehouse) will start. Final coordinated release is expected on October 17th. More information on the OpenStack development cycle can be found at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Cycle Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
