Meanwhile, we'll figure out the log bot before the next time. *#topic RDO Community meeting** **Ether pad at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo_community_manager_sync* Test Day: M2 release is scheduled for January 23rd. Although an initial date of the 30th was suggested for the next test day, we want to be sure that we have packages for all of the relevant platforms, and that QA has had a chance to test them so that folks don't all run into the same issues. February 4th and 5th have been suggested for possible test days. (Dates are NOT final.) Action: Rich will follow up on rdo-list with email about proposed dates to see if this works for everyone. Action: Rich will also write up a blog post for RedHatStack for wider publicity. Action: Flavio said he'd try to get Marconi packaged up for the test day. Hangouts: I'd like to start doing the hangouts again. We had a good start, and then I dropped it. So I need to start bugging people about doing some more. If you'd like to volunteer for a 30-60 minute presentation on what you're working on, please speak up. February Newsletter: I'm starting to gather items to write about in the February RDO newsletter. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo_newsletter_2014_02 We send this out to about 2000 people every month. If you're not on there, you can join at http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-newsletter If you have anything you'd like to have mentioned in the newsletter, please add it to that etherpad. If you'd like to write something for the newsletter, please contact rbowen(a)redhat.com. Current topics include: IRC meetings FOSDEM Infrastructure.Next SCALE CentOS Cloud SIG RDO bug triage meeting FOSDEM FOSDEM is February 1-2 in Brussels. Rich is planning to do (audio) interviews (10 minutes roughly) with anybody and everybody that's involved in RDO. These might be used on the RDO site, or on Joe Brockmeier's new 'Cloud Forecast' podcast. See http://drbacchus.com/flavio-percoco-on-openstack-marconi for an example of the ones that I did at OpenStack Summit. If you'd like to talk to the world about what you're doing on OpenStack, and you'll be at FOSDEM, just come talk to me. I'll have my recorder in my pocket. If you'd like to talk about what you're doing on OpenStack and you won't be at FOSDEM, email rbowen(a)redhat.com and we'll set up a phone/skype thing. The schedule for the Virtualization/IaaS devroom at FOSDEM has been posted. https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/track/virtualisation_and_iaas/ After FOSDEM, there's a second event called Infrastructure.next. I posted to rdo-list about it last week: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2013/12/announcing-infrastructure-next/ If you'd like to speak at infrastructure.next contact jzb(a)redhat.com Bitergia Stats http://openstack.redhat.com/stats/ Not much to say here, other than, we have cool stats, done by the same folks that do Stackalytics - Bitergia. They're interesting and informative, and if you haven't looked yet, have a look. They're pretty awesome, particularly if you're a stats geek like me. CentOS Cloud SIG If you're not on the centos-devel mailing list, it would be a good thing to join if you're interested in RDO on CentOS. http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel mburned, and many other people, have started "Let's have a Cloud SIG" thread. There's an organizational kickoff meeting for the CentOS Cloud SIG on a Google hangout on 23-Jan. The consensus is, I think, coming around to let's have one unified cloud sig with variants for each cloud platform (openstack, eucalyptus, opennebula, cloudstack, and so on) There's clearly a lot of energy, and people wanting to see this happen. So jump in and speak up. Bug triage meeting A bug triage meeting has been organized for the 3rd Wednesday of each month here on IRC. First meeting set for tomorrow 15-Jan at the same time as this meeting. We'll review the current open issues and bugs during this meeting. We'll also re-evaluate the recurrence of this meeting if we find that it's too much or not enough. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-BugTriage Anyone interested in participating can just show up. Open Forum Questions (See list in etherpad) People have been incredibly responsive when I've bugged them about answering questions. There are, however, a handful of questions - probably the first 4 in the list - that have been open a long time and could use some love. I also need to figure out how to filter questions that are answered, but the answer hasn't been accepted. I don't know how many folks actually bother to accept/agree the answer - it's not very many. So there's actually a lot of questions where someone has posted an answer, but it's not really an answer, it's more of a comment. Proposal: Add a "solution-proposed" flag or similar. But we need people to have enough karma to convert comments to answers and vice versa, and to add tags. https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:unanswered/sort:answers-asc/... is the unanswered RDO list. 17 this morning. We've been holding at around 9 for the last few weeks. I also need to work some with the API to get some reports of things that have been unanswered and/or without activity for a long time. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com OpenStack Community Liaison http://openstack.redhat.com/
