I'm a Linux operator conducting a proof of concept OpenStack deployment. I'm planning to use TripleO on CentOS7. My goal is to stand up a cloud with 3 controllers, 2 compute nodes, and 3 Ceph nodes.

Welcome!  Can you tell us a bit more about your environment?  What distribution is your cloud running on, and what deployment tools are you using?  Also, are your infra nodes an HA configuration? No matter what, you definitely want to have really solid backups of all of your databases and of your configs.  And I'd recommend devising a rollback or recovery plan before starting the upgrade.

These should be coordinated with your fellow cohort mentors on the mailing list, come to a consensus, and then we can update the wiki with the cohort office hours. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Mentoring#Long_Term_Mentoring Thank you for your assistance, Jill and Ell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My name is Jay Bryant and I am the Cloud Storage Lead for the Lenovo Cloud Technology Center.  I am also the Cinder PTL and am active with OpenStack Upstream Institute.  Most of my project activity has been in Cinder, Manila, Oslo and Documentation. I have been active in OpenStack since January of 2013 and have had the opportunity to mentor a number of people in becoming active OpenStack contributors.  I am happy to answer questions about your first patch, first talk as well as questions about how to review patches or participate in other ways.  Can even provide guidance in getting your accounts set up and CLAs signed. I am based in Rochester, Minnesota so I am at UTC -6. My IRC nick is jungleboyj .  I am pretty much always attached to IRC so please feel free to ping me any time between 9 am and 9 pm Central time.  You can find me in the #openstack-mentoring channel or #openstack-cinder. I look forward to helping out anyone who needs help! Thanks!

I'm Eric Fried (rhymes with "feed"). In IRC I'm efried, or fried_rice on Fridays (it's our version of Hawaiian shirt day). You can find me in #openstack-nova (I'm a core reviewer on the Nova project), #openstack-placement (...who does a lot of work related to the Placement service), #openstack-powervm (...and gets a paycheck from IBM to make all of that work on PowerVM), as well as the shiny new #openstack-mentoring channel. I'm in Central Texas, UTC-6 except when DST is being stupid, and am generally online M-F 0730-1730 in my time zone. I joined this mentoring program to help new folks learn and understand the culture around reviewing and/or proposing patches. There's a lot to it that you can't read in the docs, and just like any new culture, it can be frustrating and discouraging until you get the hang of it. My mission is to ease your path through this acclimatization process so you can become a productive contributor who stays with us for the long term. I look forward to working with you. -Eric .
