[Rdo-newsletter] June RDO community newsletter
by Rich Bowen
Thanks for being part of the RDO community!
Here's what's going on in RDO, and in the larger OpenStack world, in
the coming days.
OpenStack Events
With the OpenStack Summit behind us, June is a little quieter, but
there are still a number of events coming up.
OpenStack Israel - http://www.openstack-israel.org/ - is actually
already passed - it was held June 2 in Herzliya. You can follow
OpenStack Israel on Twitter, at @OpenStackIL, to catch the news
coming out of that event over the next few days, and see the videos
of the talks you may have missed.
In just a few days (June 4) OpenStack UK Day -
http://www.eventbooking.uk.com/openstack/home.html - will be held in
London. There will be presentations by a number of OpenStack
luminaries, including Monty Taylor and Mark McCloughlin, and a great
opportunity to meet other OpenStack users and developers. With the
Red Hat acquisition of Inktank still very new news, you might want to
catch John Spray's talk on Ceph to see what that's all about.
On that same day, there will be a CentOS dojo in Cincinnati, Ohio,
USA. - http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Cincinnati2014 CentOS is
the leading platform for deploying RDO, and with the ongoing work on the
CentOS Cloud SIG, this will be a great place to come talk about how
RDO fits into CentOS, and how we can achieve closer ties between the
two communities.
On Friday, June 6th, at 13:00 Eastern US time, Hugh Brock will be
presenting a Google Hangout on TripleO. You can register your
attendance at
https://plus.google.com/events/cp6fpffs4a9maqfn3h92tvvck1o
On the third Tuesday of every month (That's June 17, this month), we
hold a bug triage event. See the latest open ticket list at
http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/openstack/bugzilla/rdo-bug-stat
us/ and join us all through the day on the #rdo channel on the
Freenote IRC network.
You can always see the upcoming events on the RDO Events calendar, at
http://openstack.redhat.com/Events and on the main OpenStack events
calendar at http://openstack.org/events

OpenStack Summit and Community Survey Results
At the OpenStack Summit in Atlanta a few weeks ago, the results from
the OpenStack User Survey were announced. The survey was greatly
expanded from last time, in terms of what data was being collected,
so it's hard to just directly compare last year's results to this
year's, but it's fun to try.
First of all, here's last year's survey results:
http://www.slideshare.net/openstack/openstack-user-survey-october-2013
(and summarized at
http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-october-2013/ )
And this year's results:
http://www.slideshare.net/ryan-lane/openstack-atlanta-user-survey
I was struck by how slowly production deployments of OpenStack move,
with substantial numbers of deployments still on Folsom, Essex, or
even earlier. Meanwhile, in the proof-of-concept and developer
spaces, we see CentOS and RHEL making a big jump on the lead held,
for the moment, by Debian and Ubuntu.
You can see much of the content from the Summit on the OpenStack
Foundation Youtube page at
