Hi folks,

I’m glad to announce Savanna intention to apply for the incubation
during Icehouse release. In this email I would like to provide an update
on our current status and nearest plans and, as well as start the
conversation to solicit the feedback on Savanna from the community.

Let’s start with the current state of Savanna project. All our code and
bugs/specs are hosted at OpenStack Gerrit and Launchpad correspondingly.
Unit tests and all pep8/hacking checks are run at OpenStack Jenkins and
we have integration tests running at our own Jenkins server for each
patch set. We have great Sphinx-based docs published at readthedocs -
http://savanna.rtfd.org, it consists of dev, admin and user guides and
descriptions of REST API, plugins SPI and etc. Savanna is integrated
with Nova, Keystone, Glance, Cinder and Swift now, and we already using
diskimage-builder to create a prebuilt images for Hadoop clusters.

We have an amazing team working on Savanna - about twenty engineers from
Mirantis, Red Hat and Hortonworks (according to authors git stat). We
have been holding weekly IRC meetings for the last 6 months and
discussing architectural questions there and in openstack mailing lists
as well. As for the code reviews, we’ve  established the same approach
as other OpenStack projects. Change requests cannot be merged without
the review from the main contributors for the corresponding component
and this ensures high standard for all code that lands in master.

Currently we are actively working on two main directions - Elastic Data
Processing (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Savanna/EDP) and scalable
architecture. Our next major 0.3 release is planned for October
timeframe and will be based on OpenStack Havana codebase. It will
contain basic EDP functionality, Savanna distributed design, Neutron
support and, of course, updated OpenStack Dashboard plugin with all new
features.

Let’s take a look at our future plans. We would like to integrate with
other OpenStack components, such as Heat and Ceilometer and to adjust
our release cycle in Icehouse. Code hardening, useful CLI implementation
and enhanced functionality of EDP are also the things to be done and pay
attention for.

So you are welcome to comment and leave your feedback on how to make
Savanna better and become the integrated project.

Thank you!
