[Rdo-list] Follow up from RDO meetup at Summit: Fedora Project Contributor Agreement
by Kashyap Chamarthy
[Copying Matthew Miller from Fedora Project for any other context that
he might want to add.]
This topic came up at the RDO meetup in Paris OpenStack summit, raised
by Tim Bell from CERN. Alan Pevec requested to follow it up with a URL
here.
Fedora project now has called Fedora Project Contributor Agreement
(FPCA) replacing the old Fedora Individual Contributor License
Agreement. Here is the official wiki page from the Fedora Project:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement
Quoting a couple of items from the Wiki page:
"Q. Why did you change the name from ICLA to FPCA?
A. The new text is not really a "Contributor License Agreement" in
the traditional sense, as that sort of agreement usually involves
copyright assignment and an abandonment of rights to a project.
The FPCA exists for one main reason: to ensure that contributions
to Fedora have acceptable licensing terms. We chose a name that
did not use "CLA" to avoid confusion and to mark it as a
distinctly specific license.
Q. The FPCA defines "default licenses" of MIT for code, and Creative
Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 Unported for content, why not
$OTHER_LICENSE?
A. These licenses were chosen because of their widespread use and
compatibility with most other Free licenses."
More details and the exact FPCA text is in the above wiki page (at the
bottom).

Hi, and thanks for being part of the RDO community.
Here's some of what's going on in the RDO world lately, including blog
posts, meetups, and the OpenStack Summit in Paris.
Quick links:
* Quick Start - http://openstack.redhat.com/quickstart

* RDO blog - http://rdoproject.org/blog
* Open bugs - http://tm3.org/rdobugs-20141030
RDO Juno packages available
OpenStack Juno released on October 16th, and it took us a few days to
package it up for RDO.
We're pleased to announce the availability of RDO packages for OpenStack
Juno, for EL7 (RHEL7 and CentOS7) and Fedora 20.
Fedora 21 is still in development and running RDO Juno on Fedora 21 is
not recommended at this time. A separate announcement will be made when
RDO Juno on Fedora 21 is ready.
You can get started with RDO Juno via the process described in the
Quickstart - http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart - and the various
packages are available at https://rdo.fedorapeople.org/openstack-juno/
As always, if you have questions, you can bring them here, to the
rdo-list mailing list, or to the IRC channel - #rdo on freenode.irc.net.
Events
This week, many of us are in Paris for the OpenStack 'Kilo' Summit,
where the next version of OpenStack will be planned, and many OpenStack
technical sessions will cover all aspects of running and developing
OpenStack.
If you're here in Paris, please drop by the Red Hat booth, at A1, to
pick up your Red Hat cap and see demos of OpenStack and related
projects.
If you're interested in being more involved in the RDO project, join us
for at lunch time on Wednesday in the corner by the Red Hat booth. where
we'll be discussing how you can participate in packaging, documentation,
and testing, among other things. We'd love to hear from you where we can
improve and be more welcoming. Look for the RDO sign! And if you drop by
today, we have just a few RDO tshirts left.
If you're running OpenStack on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora, the talks you're
going to want to catch are listed at http://tm3.org/blog32

are hundreds of OpenStack meetups every month, and we highlight a few of
them every week on the rdo-list mailing list, as well as listing them on
the RDO Events page at http://openstack.redhat.com/Events

it, so that we can help you get the word out. Add them to the events
page, and drop me an email.
Hangouts
Unfortunately, we didn't manage to do a hangout in October, but we are
planning to do one this month. If there's a particular topic that you'd
like to see us do a hangout about, watch for a thread about this in the
coming days on the rdo-list mailing list, where you can speak up.
You can watch all of our past hangouts at

[Rdo-list] Second glance server
by Chris
Hello,
We use OpenStack in one of our DC locations (location A). Now we want to
have compute nodes in other locations (location B).
In location B we want to have just compute nodes and an additional glance
server to prevent image transfers from location A to B.
What is the best practice to have two glance servers in OpenStack and what
configuration changes needs to be done to let the compute nodes just access
the local glance server.
Thank you!
Cheers
