[Rdo-newsletter] June RDO community newsletter

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.

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 https://www.youtube.com/user/OpenStackFoundation/videos Staying in Touch The best ways to keep up with what's going on in the RDO community are: * Follow us on Twitter - http://twitter.com/rdocommunity * Google+ - http://tm3.org/rdogplus * rdo-list mailing list - http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list * This newsletter - http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-newsletter * RDO Q&A - http://ask.openstack.org/ Thanks again for being part of the RDO community! -- Rich Bowen, OpenStack Community Liaison rbowen(a)redhat.com http://openstack.redhat.com
