Open Stack

Shamail – Thanks for passing this along! We’re all very excited about the acceleration potential of this Initiative and engagement. At the tactical level, User stories and bug priorities are the 1st set of info I think we need. We want to make sure the team is working on the highest impact areas as the Innovation Center ramps up. The thinking has been that the different teams in the  Enterprise WG would develop and flow the User stories through to the Product WG,  with add’l resources for implementation. Also, the ISV interop team in the Enterprise WG could take advantage of the clusters we’re bringing up under this engagement for the ISVs to be able to test/validate their apps with OpenStack at scale. I’m sure we’ll talk more about this at tomorrow’s team meeting (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Enterprise_Working_Group)

I’m sure there’s many other ways we can help provide info and priorities to the new development team and take advantage of their results.

I’ll bring updates into the team meetings in 3-4 weeks. That should allow vacation season to play through, and the dust to settle and the beginning of the next level of execution.

If you have other ideas or questions in the meantime, let’s hear them.
Thanks
Carol

Hi everyone,

You might have already seen this through membership in another mailing list but we wanted to make sure that Product WG knew about this huge contribution that Intel and Rackspace announced to the benefit of the entire OpenStack community.

We should have this as a topic in one of our upcoming meetings to discuss how this would fit into our overall user stories workflow.

Carol & Egle, anything else that you would like to add?

Thanks,
Shamail

Hello OpenStack Community,

I am very excited to let you know that today Rackspace and Intel announced our plans to form the “OpenStack Innovation Center,” which is an exciting community-oriented initiative focused on accelerating the enterprise features and adoption of OpenStack.  This initiative includes:


?         Largest OpenStack Developer Cloud – We are building and making available to the community two 1,000 node clusters to support advanced, large-scale and testing of OpenStack.  The clusters should be available to the community within six months and you can sign up here<http://goo.gl/forms/vCkfNBmXm4> to receive updates on this effort.

?         OpenStack Developer Training – We are creating a new training curriculum designed to onboard and significantly increase the number of developers working upstream in the community.

?         Joint OpenStack Engineering – Rackspace and Intel developers will work together in collaboration with the Enterprise Work Group and community to eliminate bugs and develop new enterprise features.  Both companies will recruit new developers to help further OpenStack development.

?         OpenStack Innovation Center – The center will be comprised of Rackspace and Intel developers who will work upstream, using existing community tools and processes to improve the scalability, manageability and usability of OpenStack.
