We're excited about this first edition of our monthly newsletter.
We're hoping that you find it useful, and that you encourage your
colleagues to sign up for future editions. They can sign up at that
same address, above.<br>
<br>
If you haven't already joined us on the RDO Community site, please
do. We're at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/17OFGsc">http://bit.ly/17OFGsc</a> and there's a lot of great
discussion there around RDO and OpenStack deployment and
configuration.<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Please respond to our user survey</b><br>
<br>
An early post on the RDO forum was a request for you to tell us
about your experience with RDO. We really want to know how you're
using RDO, and what your plans are with OpenStack in general. Would
you consider responding to that thread, at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/14JfaKk">http://bit.ly/14JfaKk</a> in
the forum, and telling us your story?<br>

<b>Setting up an NFS share for Nova instances</b><br>
<br>
In addition to the RDO forum and community website
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/17OFGsc">http://bit.ly/17OFGsc</a> ) there's also the rdo-list mailing list (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://red.ht/18qNAqX">http://red.ht/18qNAqX</a> ) where you have direct access to the
engineers who are working on RDO, as well as on the upstream
OpenStack project. If you prefer a mailing list to a forum, this is
the righe place for you.<br>
<br>
In a recent posting, Kashyap Chamarthy shares his notes on
configuring Nova to use NFS for storage: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://red.ht/13lovvj">http://red.ht/13lovvj</a><br>
<br>
<b>We're on IRC</b><br>
<br>
For those of you who prefer a more immediate kind of connection, or
if you want to learn by listening in on the conversations of other
RDO users, we've started the #rdo channel on the Freenode IRC
network.<br>
<br>
The channel usually has several OpenStack developers on it who can
answer your RDO questions, or questions about OpenStack in general<br>
<br>
If you're not already an IRC user, there are dozens of Open Source
IRC clients available for whatever operating system you're using, or
you can use the web chat client at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/1b1ZKpz">http://bit.ly/1b1ZKpz</a><br>
<br>
<b>Fedora 19 images available for OpenStack</b><br>
<br>
The Fedora team is right on the cusp of releasing Fedora 19, and
there's a RC3 (Release Candidate 3) image that you can deploy on
your OpenStack installation. You can read more about it in the RDO
forum, at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/14JfAjW">http://bit.ly/14JfAjW</a><br>

</b><b>RDO will be at OSCon</b><br>
<br>
The O'Reilly Open Source Convention will be held in Portland,
Oregon, July 22-26.<br>
<br>
Once again this year, there will be a big OpenStack presence at
OSCon, and RDO will be there too. We'll be in the RedHat booth
(#217), and we'll also be hanging out at the OpenStack Pavilion.<br>
<br>
There will be a reception in the Expo Hall on Tuesday night from
5-6pm, and then we'll also be there all day Wednesday and Thursday.<br>
<br>
If you're going to be at OSCon, please drop by and say hello.<br>

<b>OpenStack at Red Hat Summit</b><br>
<br>
RDO and OpenStack had a lot to say at the Red Hat Summit a few weeks
ago in Boston. Along with the exciting announcements around Red
Hat's new OpenStack offerings (See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/11Um80P">http://bit.ly/11Um80P</a> ) there was
a lot of great OpenStack content in the conference.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, a lot of that content was recorded, and you can watch
some of it at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/129AZzX">http://bit.ly/129AZzX</a><br>
<br>
RDO also had a booth there, and we had a drawing for a couple of
Nexus 4's. Congratulations to Jean-François Saucier and Gerald
Nazareth who won the drawing, and many thanks to the hundreds of you
who stopped by to chat with us and learn more about RDO and
OpenStack.<br>
<br>
<b>Until next time ...</b><br>
<br>
Thanks again for being part of the RDO community. Please drop by and
see us at the RDO forum - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bit.ly/16JICll">http://bit.ly/16JICll</a> - and at OSCon.
We're looking forward to the coming months, and would love to hear
what you're doing with RDO.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Rich and Dave, for the RDO Community Team<br>
