[newsletter] March 2018 RDO Community Newsletter
by Mary Thengvall

---
Hi, RDO Community! I hope you like marshmallows and peanuts because we're
into Rocky and it's going to be quite a road. TL;DR: Queens was released,
we're excited that Cloud SIG meetings are back, and we're loving the idea
of stable Fedora repositories for OpenStack. But that's not all – be sure
to read the rest of the newsletter to stay up to date with what's going on
in our community.
Housekeeping ItemsPony Mail Revamp (aka mail.rdoproject.org)
You might remember that we launched Pony Mail back in January
<https://www.rdoproject.org/newsletter/2018/january/>. We’ve now put the
hostname mail.rdoproject.org in place and made the experience a little
better. As a quick refresher, we have this Apache PonyMail
<http://ponymail.apache.org/> open source software in place as a web-based
interface to our mailing lists. This lets you, among other things:
- Revive an old thread from before you were subscribed
- See basic statistics about participation in mailing list threads
- Advanced searching features
- oAuth authentication - if there's an auth source you want to use
that's not there, let us know, and we'll add it
- Compose email in the web interface or in your own mail client, as you
prefer
- Keyboard shortcuts! (Press H for a list)
RDO ChangesRDO Queens Released
We’re extremely happy to announce the general availability of the RDO build
for OpenStack Queens! This is the SEVENTEENTH release from the OpenStack
project, which is the work of more than 1600 contributors from around the
world. Super big thanks for all your help - we could not do this without
the RDO Community!
There’s more information in the detailed blog post from Rich Bowen:
https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2018/03/rdo-queens-released/
Collaborating with Kolla for RDO Test Days Post-Queens Release
In true community form, we’ll be joining forces with the Kolla
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Kolla> core contributors during our RDO
test days. We’ll supply the bare metal hardware and their core contributors
will be able to deploy and operate a cloud with real users and developers
poking around.
Keep an eye on the Etherpad <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kolla-rdo-m3> and
mailing lists for more information on the upcoming test day
<https://www.rdoproject.org/testday/>, tentatively scheduled for 15-16
March.
Stabilized Fedora repositories for OpenStack
In case you missed the discussion at the Feb 7 IRC meeting, we’re starting
to move toward using stabilized Fedora repositories for OpenStack. As
Haïkel Guémar detailed in a follow-up email thread
<https://rdo.fsn.ponee.io/thread.html/f122ccd93daf5e4ca26b7db0e90e977fb0fb...>
:
*Since Fedora has proven to be an unstable platform for OpenStack, we plan
to provide "stabilized" repositories. The concept is quite simple: we
provide a snapshot of Fedora repositories and then gate updates through CI.
Any updates that fails CI will be blacklisted or overridden, we will also
provides packages overrides for the ones we can't update in Fedora.*
The plan is to have everything set to change over during the Rocky cycle.
Given how much work this will entail, Haïkel has pulled together an Etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stabilized-fedora-repositories-for-opens...>
with more information, including the goals, technical requirements, and
any open concerns.
Please contribute to the conversation either via the mailing list
<https://rdo.fsn.ponee.io/thread.html/f122ccd93daf5e4ca26b7db0e90e977fb0fb...>
or Etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stabilized-fedora-repositories-for-opens...>
if you have any questions.
Community NewsCloud SIG meeting restarting
The Cloud SIG is back up and running, thanks to the prompting of Rohit
Yadav and Daan Hoogland! Hat tip to Rich Bowen for his help in getting it
off the ground.
The meeting will take place every Thursday at 15:00 UTC in the
#centos-devel channel on Freenode. Take a look at the Etherpad
<https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/centos-cloud-sig> for the running
agenda and the Cloud SIG page
<https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud> on the CentOS wiki for
more information.
Recent Blogpost Roundups
Every two weeks or so we post the latest OpenStack and RDO-related
blogposts to blogs.rdoproject.org. In case you’ve missed the last few, you
can find them here:
https://blogs.rdoproject.org/category/community-blog-round-up/
If you blog about OpenStack, RDO, or anything related to those topics, feel
free to add your RSS feed to the RDO planet.ini
<https://github.com/redhat-openstack/website/blob/master/planet-rdo.ini> file
so we’re aware of it!
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 NewsNew Onboarding Docs for OpenStack
OpenStack has a new gorgeous community site and onboarding docs! From
selecting the area you’d like to help out with to learning what being a
contributor means or simply going straight to the contributor resources,
the site is easy to navigate and wonderful to look at.
See more here: https://www.openstack.org/community
Looking for Help with Translating Queens Release Notes
Do you speak another language? The documentation team could use your help!
They’re looking for people to submit translations of the Queens release
notes. For more information on what’s involved, following the thread in
openstack-dev
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-February/127518.html>.
To dive right in, here’s a full list of open reviews:
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+topic:zanata/translations
Goals for Rocky Decided
With the release of Queens just behind us, it’s time to move on to Rocky!
The goals have been discussed, and were voted on at the PTG in Dublin.
The current
selection <https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/rocky/index.html> is a
mix of one ops-facing goal (ability to set logs to debug without restarting
the service, using mutable configuration), and one dev-facing tech debt
reduction goal (going further in getting rid of mox/mox3).
PTL & User Committee Election Results
For possibly the first time ever, all teams had at least one candidate for
PTL for the Rocky cycle! Please join us in congratulating the new PTLs:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-February/127404.html
The User Committee also went through an election process recently. Congrats
to the three new members! More info:

EventsDublin PTG Recap (+ Videos)
Twice a year, the OpenStack community gathers for the Project Teams
Gathering <http://openstack.org/ptg> - the PTG - to plan the next release
of OpenStack. This past week, we gathered in Dublin, Ireland for 5 days of
intense meetings about what specific features we want to implement in the
Rocky release. While the major goals of Rocky have already been determined
(see above), this is where the details get worked out.
As always, Rich was there to interview the project teams about their plans
and give you a preview of what to expect. Those videos will be on YouTube
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmwYAZLsJ84&list=PLOuHvpVx7kYnVF3qjvIw-Is...>
as soon as they get edited - keep an eye out for them over the coming
weeks. This is a great way to get a preview of what to expect in this next
release, which will come out in late August
<https://releases.openstack.org/rocky/schedule.html>.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfBUSs7rin0RPXo-6A-yoUkeVnVFXlSY...
Virtual Meetup Scheduled for April 12 – CFP Open Now!
We’re planning for our first virtual meetup on April 12. We'll have several
30-minute presentations, which will happen via Google Hangouts, or
something similar, and will be recorded. Presentations should be related to
RDO or upstream OpenStack. We’ll start the presentations around 9am Eastern
US time and will run for as long as we have content.

RDO Queens Released
by Rich Bowen
The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the
RDO build for OpenStack Queens for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux
7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private,
public, and hybrid clouds. Queens is the 17th release from the OpenStack
project, which is the work of more than 1600 contributors from around
the world (source - http://stackalytics.com/ ).
The release is making its way out to the CentOS mirror network, and
should be on your favorite mirror site momentarily.
The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains
a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Linux and is a
member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure
SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS Linux users
looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds.
All work on RDO, and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack
Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first.
New and Improved
Interesting things in the Queens release include:
* Ironic now supports Neutron routed networks with flat networking and
introduces support for Nova traits when scheduling
* RDO now includes rsdclient, an OpenStack client plugin for Rack Scale
Design architecture
* Support for octaviaclient and Octavia Horizon plugin has been added to
improve Octavia service deployments.
* Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) network extension to the OpenStack network
service (Neutron) has been included.
* Multi-vendor Modular Layer 2 (ML2) driver networking-generic-switch si
now available of operators deploying RDO Queens.
Other improvements include:
* Most of the bundled intree tempest plugins have been moved to their
own repository during Queens cycle. RDO has adapted plugin packages for
these new model.
* In an effort to improve the quality and reduce the delivery time for
our users, RDO keeps refining and automating all required processes
needed to build, test and publish the packages included in RDO distribution.
Note that packages for OpenStack projects with cycle-trailing release
models[*] will be created after a release is delivered according to the
OpenStack Queens schedule.

Getting Started
There are three ways to get started with RDO.
To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware,
try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single
node to get a feel for how it works.
For a production deployment of RDO, use the TripleO Quickstart and
you’ll be running a production cloud in short order.
Finally, if you want to try out OpenStack, but don’t have the time or
hardware to run it yourself, visit TryStack, where you can use a free
public OpenStack instance, running RDO packages, to experiment with the
OpenStack management interface and API, launch instances, configure
networks, and generally familiarize yourself with OpenStack. (TryStack
is not, at this time, running Queens, although it is running RDO.)
Getting Help
The RDO Project participates in a Q&A service at ask.openstack.org. We
also have our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and
operrators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the
dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief
introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailng lists
archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org
You can also find extensive documentation on the RDO docs site.
The #rdo channel on Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find help
and give help.
We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS mailing lists and
the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel, and
#tripleo on irc.freenode.net), however we have a more focused audience
in the RDO venues.
Getting Involved
To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, see the RDO
community pages and the CentOS Cloud SIG page. See also the RDO
packaging documentation.
Join us in #rdo on the Freenode IRC network, and follow us at
@RDOCommunity on Twitter. If you prefer Facebook, we’re there too, and
also Google+.
