Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming in 10 days <http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc> Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact information at https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements. On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is available for your convenience <https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html> (just changes “LLC” to “Foundation” and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: http://openstack.org/register/. OpenStack Object Storage (aka Swift) for new contributors <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/12/03/swift-for-new-contributors/> As a developer, jumping into a mature codebase can be somewhat daunting. How is the code structured? What is the request flow? What’s the process for getting my changes contributed upstream? Find answers to these questions on this post by SwiftStack. Evolution of the incubation process <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-tc/2013-February/000119.html> The Technical Committee approved a set of changes to the incubation process, the process through which a project becomes part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. One of the visible change is the switch from using the term “Core projects” to “Integrated”. Upstream University at the OpenStack summit <http://dachary.org/?p=1846> Upstream University is organizing a session <http://upstream-university.org/apply/> in advance of the next OpenStack summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/>, in Portland. If you can fly in two days ahead of the event to spend the weekend improving your OpenStack contribution skills, please consider submitting an application <http://upstream-university.org/apply/> to attend the workshop. Python trademark at risk in Europe: Python Foundation needs your help <http://pyfound.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we…> For anyone who works in a company that has an office in a EU Community member state, the Python Software Foundation needs your help. There is a company in the UK that is trying to trademark the use of the term “Python” for all software, services, servers… pretty much anything having to do with a computer. The PSF is asking a letter on company letterhead to forward to their EU counsel. More details on PSF <http://PSF/>News <http://pyfound.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we…>. Report of Openstack project on SF State University campus <http://commons.sfsu.edu/report-openstack-project-campus> Two students (Brandon Lai and Pascal Schuele) under supervision of prof. Sameer Verma worked on exploring the cloud computing space in Fall 2012. They built a demo/prototype of a private cloud platform on campus and presented at the end of the semester. Prof. Verma hopes to continue to expand this project in Spring 2013.

Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/> There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/> (OpenStack) Anita Kuno <http://anteaya.info/>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/> There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

29 Jan '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-002 CVE: CVE-2013-0212 Date: January 29, 2013 Title: Backend password leak in Glance error message Reporter: Dan Prince (Red Hat) Products: Glance Affects: All versions Dan Prince of Red Hat discovered an issue in Glance error reporting.

25 Jan '13

Highlights of the week Project Incubation Process Update is Underway <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/project-incubation-process-update-is-…> Alan Clark, Chairman of the Board, wrote about the effort to improve the existing open source incubation process for OpenStack. This is one of the most important processes kickstarted by the OpenStack Foundation whose objective is to help ensure that projects receive the focus, visibility and resources needed to be successful via a fair, equitable and open process. Introducing the User Committee <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/introducing-the-user-committee/> Speaking of important processes, here is another one you should pay attention to: the OpenStack User Committee whose role is to represent the needs of the diverse range of OpenStack users. For those of you who would like to help define this committee, please look at the points to review <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yD8TfqUik2dt5xo_jMVHMl7tw9oIJnEndLK8YqE…> document and post your thoughts to the OpenStack foundation mailing list <http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foundation>. Debugging OpenStack with pycharm and pydevd <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/debugging-openstack-with-pyc…> The story of a conversion, that of John Bresnahan <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/> from being a strictly /vi/ user, developing C code and debugging with gdb, to an avid user of pycharm. This is a story of lost productivity of a once Luddite converted to IDE and of how he got to appreciate remote debugging via pydevd. Technical Committee & Grizzly Update <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/technical-committee-grizzly-update/> While we wait for the final release of OpenStack Grizzly, here is a teaser of what’s coming up, with other updates from the OpenStack Technical Committee. Read it together with the Motion on Technical Committee membership for Spring 2013 session <http://markmail.org/message/cozzeh2yph6mayhp>. Let’s Get this Started! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/01/lets-get-this-started/> And ‘this’ is the Outreach Program for Women, coordinated by GNOME, with OpenStack as one of ten participating organizations: we’ve added a few more ladies to the OpenStack contributors starting line this month. * Laura Alves da Quinta (http://ladquin.dreamwidth.org/), Buenos Aires, Argentina – working on Documentation with Anne Gentle * Anita Kuno (http://anteaya.info/), Haliburton, Ontario, Canada, working on Python Clients with Iccha Sethi * Victoria Martínez de la Cruz (http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/), Bahía Blanca, Argentina working on Horizon’s Workflows with Julie Pichon We are seeking sponsorships to bring all of them to the OpenStack Summit in Portland in April. If you are interested please contact Anne Gentle at anne.gentle(a)rackspace.com <mailto:anne.gentle@rackspace.com>. For a few thousand dollars, we can learn from them as much as they are learning from us. A great opportunity for some great interns! On-disk encryption prototype for OpenStack Swift <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/on-disk-encryption-prototype-for-openstack-swi…> A few months ago, Mirantis engineers described the design of on-disk per-user encryption <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-swift-encryption-architecture/> of objects in Swift. They released a first working prototype of this feature. It’s still very basic at the moment, but most of its components are pluggable and can be enhanced or replaced with more advanced versions.

[Swift] Swift 1.7.6 and python-swiftclient 1.3.0 released
by John Dickinson 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

I'm happy to announce that Swift 1.7.6 has been released. This release is the work of twenty five contributors. As always, you can upgrade to this release with no downtime for your clients. You can find download links at https://launchpad.net/swift and the Launchpad release tracking at https://launchpad.net/swift/+milestone/1.7.6. The full changelog for this release is at https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG. I'd like to highlight a few of the more prominent changes in this release. We've added a feature to the healthcheck middleware that allows you to cause an error response to be returned based on the existence of a file on disk. This allows you to turn off a proxy server and automatically remove it from your load balancer pool simply by touching a file. Since this is a file that can persist through a reboot, this new feature can also protect you from using a proxy server if an upgrade went awry. This new feature allows you to simplify your operations and more simply control how your cluster behaves. We have added some new options to swift-recon. Using swift-recon, you can now find the top full disks in your cluster and get more detailed information about replication times. Also, Swift's dispersion report tool has some new options to control what output is given. These changes give you more insight into what is happening in your cluster by filtering the results to container and object reports. This release also includes many bug fixes, including some related to object names and one to prevent the auditors from consuming too many unix sockets. I'd encourage everyone to upgrade to take advantage of the new functionality and bug fixes in this release. If you have any questions, ask on the OpenStack mailing list or hop in #openstack on IRC (freenode). I have also tagged python-swiftclient at 1.3.0 for release. Thanks again to all of the people who have contributed to this release. Swift's high quality and success are a direct result of your hard work and dedication. --John
