[Rdo-newsletter] RDO Community Newsletter, July 2013

[Rich Bowen]

*Thanks for being part of the RDO community!*

You're on our initial subscriber list because you spoke with us at a 
conference, or because you've signed up for the RDO forum. If you don't 
want to be on the list, please let us know, and we'll remove you 
immediately. Or you can manage your own subscription at 
http://red.ht/11amemL

We're excited about this first edition of our monthly newsletter. We're 
hoping that you find it useful, and that you encourage your colleagues 
to sign up for future editions. They can sign up at that same address, 
above.

If you haven't already joined us on the RDO Community site, please do. 
We're at http://bit.ly/17OFGsc and there's a lot of great discussion 
there around RDO and OpenStack deployment and configuration.

**Please respond to our user survey*

An early post on the RDO forum was a request for you to tell us about 
your experience with RDO. We really want to know how you're using RDO, 
and what your plans are with OpenStack in general. Would you consider 
responding to that thread, at http://bit.ly/14JfaKk in the forum, and 
telling us your story?

*Setting up an NFS share for Nova instances*

In addition to the RDO forum and community website 
(http://bit.ly/17OFGsc ) there's also the rdo-list mailing list ( 
http://red.ht/18qNAqX ) where you have direct access to the engineers 
who are working on RDO, as well as on the upstream OpenStack project. If 
you prefer a mailing list to a forum, this is the righe place for you.

In a recent posting, Kashyap Chamarthy shares his notes on configuring 
Nova to use NFS for storage: http://red.ht/13lovvj

*We're on IRC*

For those of you who prefer a more immediate kind of connection, or if 
you want to learn by listening in on the conversations of other RDO 
users, we've started the #rdo channel on the Freenode IRC network.

The channel usually has several OpenStack developers on it who can 
answer your RDO questions, or questions about OpenStack in general

If you're not already an IRC user, there are dozens of Open Source IRC 
clients available for whatever operating system you're using, or you can 
use the web chat client at http://bit.ly/1b1ZKpz

*Fedora 19 images available for OpenStack*

The Fedora team is right on the cusp of releasing Fedora 19, and there's 
a RC3 (Release Candidate 3) image that you can deploy on your OpenStack 
installation. You can read more about it in the RDO forum, at 
http://bit.ly/14JfAjW

**RDO will be at OSCon*

The O'Reilly Open Source Convention will be held in Portland, Oregon, 
July 22-26.

Once again this year, there will be a big OpenStack presence at OSCon, 
and RDO will be there too. We'll be in the RedHat booth (#217), and 
we'll also be hanging out at the OpenStack Pavilion.

There will be a reception in the Expo Hall on Tuesday night from 5-6pm, 
and then we'll also be there all day Wednesday and Thursday.

  If you're going to be at OSCon, please drop by and say hello.

*OpenStack at Red Hat Summit*

RDO and OpenStack had a lot to say at the Red Hat Summit a few weeks ago 
in Boston. Along with the exciting announcements around Red Hat's new 
OpenStack offerings (See http://bit.ly/11Um80P ) there was a lot of 
great OpenStack content in the conference.

Fortunately, a lot of that content was recorded, and you can watch some 
of it at http://bit.ly/129AZzX

RDO also had a booth there, and we had a drawing for a couple of Nexus 
4's. Congratulations to Jean-François Saucier and Gerald Nazareth who 
won the drawing, and many thanks to the hundreds of you who stopped by 
to chat with us and learn more about RDO and OpenStack.

*Until next time ...*

Thanks again for being part of the RDO community. Please drop by and see 
us at the RDO forum - http://bit.ly/16JICll - and at OSCon. We're 
looking forward to the coming months, and would love to hear what you're 
doing with RDO.

Thanks!

Rich and Dave, for the RDO Community Team
