[newsletter] April 2018 RDO Community Newsletter

Having difficulty with the formatting of this message? See it online at https://www.rdoproject.org/newsletter/2018/april --- Welcome to another month of the RDO Newsletter! 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! Housekeeping Items Volunteers Needed for the RDO Booth at OpenStack Summit Vancouver 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, sign up <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo-vancouver-summit-booth>;. We're also looking for people to spend their precious free time answering questions <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/rdo-vancouver-summit-booth> 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. Reach out to Rain Leander on IRC (leanderthal) or email (rain(a)redhat.com) for more information. RDO Changes How to Package External Dependencies in RDO 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. Follow along on the mailing list for more information: https://mail.rdoproject.org/thread.html/948c7436e8877d59286f972f2f0df3 712376bc5a795807a8d6dd9a71(a)%3Cdev.lists.rdoproject.org%3E Building Power Containers for TripleO 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: https://mail.rdoproject.org/thread.html/eb924d6d5ec84e81f92add066eb566 2a36046c902824254bf4018d8c(a)%3Cdev.lists.rdoproject.org%3E Simplifying Namespaces Historically we’ve used different namespaces for releases in docker.io and trunk.rdoproject.org registries, for example, - trunk.registry.rdoproject.org/pike/centos-binary-nova-api: fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9406be5502e_758ddb1e <http://trunk.registry.rdoproject.org/pike/centos-binary-nova-api:fc8ded09... - docker.io/tripleopike/centos-binary-aodh-api: fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7f2103b5b9406be5502e_758ddb1e <http://docker.io/tripleopike/centos-binary-aodh-api:fc8ded09c37a2e258dac7... In rdoproject the namespace is "pike", but in docker.io is "tripleopike". This creates a mess in our configuration files when setting release for upgrades job. Sagi Shnaidman recommended that going forward we use the same namespace - tripleo(release) - in order to simplify configuration and reduce confusion. Community News Tentative Test Dates Listed The tentative test day schedule has been posted <https://www.rdoproject.org/testday> - please mention serious conflicts to Rain rain(a)redhat.com so we can fix them before the schedule goes live. - M1 test day - April 26th, 27th - M2 test day - June 14th, 15th - M3 test day - August 2nd, 3rd - Rocky release test day - September 6th, 7th Community Meetings Every Wednesday at 15:00 UTC, we have the weekly RDO community meeting on the #RDO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a public etherpad <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting> and the minutes from the meeting are posted on the RDO website <https://www.rdoproject.org/community/community-meeting/>;. 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. OpenStack News All-in-One Installer Discussion During PTG Dublin, the idea of an All-In-One installer was discussed. The core idea, as described in the OpenStack-Dev mailing thread <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128900.html... 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. Interested in more information?

The decision was recently made to end the TryStack services as of March 29, 2018. As Jimmy Mcarthur said in a recent email <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128757.html>;, thank you to those of you who were part of the TryStack community! If you’re looking for new resources with which to try OpenStack, you can find them at [openstack.org/start][http://www.openstack.org/start <http://openstack.org/start%5D%5Bhttp://www.openstack.org/start>], including the Passport Program <https://www.openstack.org/passport>;, where you can test on any participating public cloud.
