Welcome Eduardo, and Hunter and Jason.
For the initial work, we will be looking at replacing GPL licensed modules in the Puppet-OpenStack project with Apache licensed alternatives. Some of the candidate module transitions include:
antonlindstrom/puppet-powerdns -> sensson/powerdns
duritong/puppet-sysctl -> thias/puppet-sysctl
puppetlabs/puppetlabs-vcsrepo -> voxpupuli/puppet-git_resource
Feedback and support on this is welcome, but where possible I would like for the students to be sending the patches up and collaborating to to help make these transitions (where possible, it’s my understanding that sysctl may pose serious challenges). Much of it should be good introductory work to our community workflow, and I'd like for them to have an opportunity to have a successful set of initial patches and contributions that have a positive lasting impact on the community.
Please note that this also has an impact on TripleO and any other downstream consumers of the puppet modules. Specifically for TripleO we'll need to consider how packaging these will come into play and if they aren't 1:1 compatible it may break us. StarlingX might also be impacted as well.
Thanks in advance, and my apologies for not communicating these efforts to the mailing list sooner.

Hello OpenStack community,
I just wanted to go ahead and introduce myself, as I am a part of the NDSU Capstone group!
My name is Eduardo Urbano and I am a Jr/Senior at NDSU. I am currently majoring in Computer Science, with no minor although that could change towards graduation. I am currently an intern at an electrical supply company here in Fargo, North Dakota known as Border States. I am an information security intern and I am enjoying it so far. I have learned many interesting security things and have also became a little paranoid of how easily someone can get hacked haha. Anyways, I am so excited to be on board and be working with OpenStack for this semester. So far I have learned many new things and I can’t wait to continue on learning.
Thank you!
-Eduardo
