I'm super excited
that we've started work on an all in one installation for TripleO - if
you've got use cases, thoughts, comments, or snarky feedback, we want to
hear it, of course. And, as always, we absolutely can't wait to see YOU
in Vancouver at OpenStack Summit NEXT MONTH!

<p>We are gearing up for OpenStack Summit Vancouver where we'll have our
regular presence within the Red Hat booth. This spring we'll continue
the ManageIQ / RDO demo we started last year and we'd love to see your
demos, too! If you've got something you'd like to demo via video OR LIVE
because you're not afraid of ANYTHING, <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo-vancouver-summit-booth" target="_blank">sign up</a>.</p>
<p>We're also looking for people to spend their precious free time <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo-vancouver-summit-booth" target="_blank">answering questions</a>
at the RDO booth. If you're attending, please consider spending one or
more of your free moments with us. Questions run the gamut from "What's
RDO?" to "I found a bug in Neutron and need help troubleshooting it." Of
course, you're not expected to know everything and you can always keep
IRC open to access the RDO Community for help! Plus, you get cool stuff!
If you sign up for three or more shifts, we're going to hook you up
with an RDO hoodie.</p>
<p>Reach out to Rain Leander on IRC (leanderthal) or email (<a href="mailto:rain@redhat.com" target="_blank">rain@redhat.com</a>) for more information.</p>

<p>Emilien Macchi brought an interesting discussion to the table
regarding how to handle the increasing number of dependencies outside of
OpenStack, including Ceph, MariaDB, Ansible, OVS, and more.</p>

<h3 id="gmail-m_401053691079281172gmail-building-power-containers-for-tripleo">Building Power Containers for TripleO</h3>
<p>Michael Turek has proposed building containers for TripleO. The goal
is to have the first step of the TripleO job pipeline that builds the
containers and uploads them to Docker hub set up for ppc64le. The first
step is to identify the hardware that would make this possible. If you
have any insight into these issues or would like to help, chime in on
the mailing list:
<a href="https://mail.rdoproject.org/thread.html/eb924d6d5ec84e81f92add066eb5662a36046c902824254bf4018d8c@%3Cdev.lists.rdoproject.org%3E" target="_blank">https://mail.rdoproject.org/<wbr>thread.html/<wbr>eb924d6d5ec84e81f92add066eb566<wbr>2a36046c902824254bf4018d8c@%<wbr>3Cdev.lists.rdoproject.org%3E</a></p>
<h3 id="gmail-m_401053691079281172gmail-simplifying-namespaces">Simplifying Namespaces</h3>
<p>Historically we’ve used different namespaces for releases in <a href="http://docker.io" target="_blank">docker.io</a> and <a href="http://trunk.rdoproject.org" target="_blank">trunk.rdoproject.org</a> registries, for example,</p>
<ul><li><a href="http://trunk.registry.rdoproject.org/pike/centos-binary-nova-api:fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9406be5502e_758ddb1e" target="_blank">trunk.registry.rdoproject.org/<wbr>pike/centos-binary-nova-api:<wbr>fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9<wbr>406be5502e_758ddb1e</a></li><li><a href="http://docker.io/tripleopike/centos-binary-aodh-api:fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9406be5502e_758ddb1e" target="_blank">docker.io/tripleopike/centos-<wbr>binary-aodh-api:<wbr>fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9<wbr>406be5502e_758ddb1e</a></li></ul>
<p>In rdoproject the namespace is "pike", but in <a href="http://docker.io" target="_blank">docker.io</a> is
"tripleopike". This creates a mess in our configuration files when
setting release for upgrades job.</p>
<p>Sagi Shnaidman recommended that going forward we use the same
namespace - tripleo(release) - in order to simplify configuration and
reduce confusion.</p>

<p>Every Wednesday at 15:00 UTC, we have the weekly RDO community

is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting" target="_blank">public etherpad</a> and the minutes from the meeting are posted <a href="https://www.rdoproject.org/community/community-meeting/" target="_blank">on the RDO website</a>.
If there's something you'd like to see happen in RDO - a package that
is missing, a tool that you'd like to see included, or a change in how
things are governed - this is the best time and place to help make that
happen.</p>

<p>During PTG Dublin, the idea of an All-In-One installer was discussed. The core idea, as described in the <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128900.html" target="_blank">OpenStack-Dev mailing thread</a>
by Emilien Macchi, is to use 100% of the TripleO bits to deploy a
single node OpenStack very similar with what we have today with the
containerized undercloud and what we also have with other tools like
Packstack or Devstack. One of the problems that we're trying to solve
here is to give a simple tool for developers so they can both easily and
quickly deploy an OpenStack for their needs.</p>
