Get OpenStack to speak your language - OpenStack I18n Team Introduction
OpenStack is a global community, OpenStack is deployed in many countries. As such, Internationalization (i18n) is essential to the success of OpenStack. The i18n team is a very special team whose contributions, in the form of translations, are of great value to the development and documentation of OpenStack.

In this session we will cover the team structure, how to become part of it, the process to translate OpenStack's different modules and documentation, and the translation tool used to do it (Zanata). The Japanese translation team coordinator will also share his experiences in openstack translation.

Come and join us to learn how to help OpenStack speak your language!

Contributing as an OpenStack User
Have you ever had a really interesting idea that you believe could benefit a significant number of OpenStack clouds but you are not a developer so can't contribute code?  Join us in this session to learn about the various ways non-developers can (and need to!) contribute to the OpenStack community. This session not only applies to operators but to any person that has a stake in the future of OpenStack. 

We will cover review and discuss groups that exist inside the OpenStack community that focus on specific market segments and how to get involved with them. We will also introduce the concept of user stories and how to submit them to the newly formed Product Working Group. 

What you will get out of this session:

  • An overview of the User Committee and [Working Groups]/teams that exist today

  • An understanding of the role that the Product WG plays, how to interact with it, and how its results are used in the community

  • Learn how you can submit user stories using the Product WG Repo and Template

  • Instructions/demo on how to submit a user story

  • Understand the value of work group participation as an OpenStack user

Life Without DevStack: Upstream Development With OSAD
In this talk I will share my experience doing upstream OpenStack development using the OpenStack Ansible Deployment (OSAD) distribution instead of DevStack as my development platform.

OSAD is a production OpenStack distribution for private clouds that deploys upstream OpenStack direct from the official git repositories, without any vendor-specific patches or add-ons. But unlike DevStack, services are isolated from each other in LXC containers, providing more flexibility and less dependency headaches.

In this talk I will give you an introduction to the OSAD project and show you how I use it to contribute code upstream. Topics I will cover during the presentation include: 

  • What is OSAD?

  • Architecture overview

  • How to deploy an OSAD all-in-one for upstream development

  • OSAD vs. DevStack: How are they similar, and how are they different?

  • Development workflow

  • Types of upstream work that work well with OSAD.

  • Types of upstream work that do not work well with OSAD.

  • Live Demonstration

Let's Talk About the Diversity of Our Community
In Vancouver the OpenStack Board chartered a work group to explore and foster a diverse OpenStack Community. The basis for this is the belief that enlisting the broadest set of viewpoints and experience will enable us to create the most innovative and impactful technologies in support of the OpenStack Mission.

A broad set of community members formed the Diversity Work Group that has worked over the Liberty cycle to form a framework for a diverse community through the creation of a Diversity Policy, integrated Diversity expectations into our Code of Conducts and identified initial areas of focus for extending the diversity of our community. Please come join us to discuss the team’s work and shape the future direction.

Data Processing is Made of People: A Case Study in Role-Empathic API Design in Sahara
The “As a…” clause of the classic user story is easily forgotten. To build a feature, we must know what it is and why someone would want it, but as developers we often abstract away the user. Building “the simplest thing that can possibly work” is usually a critical design tool, but without active attention to customer roles and workflows, it can lead to APIs that leak the implementation details of underlying technology or prioritize machine logic over human understanding.

We will use the Unified Job Interface Map feature in the OpenStack Data processing service (sahara)’s Liberty release as a case study in role-aware API design. In addition to demonstrating how this feature can improve communication between data processing developers and cluster operations engineers in your organization, we will examine:

  1. Why APIs in the OSS infrastructure and tools space are bound to leak implementation details at some level.

  2. Why the ideal of an API flow that is intuitive to any user from any entry point is likely a fool’s errand.

  3. Why multi-role customer flows mean that the “simplest thing that can possibly work” usually doesn't at handoff points between users.

  4. How domain-specific awareness of user roles allows smart choices about where to go ahead and leak implementation details and where to build a dam.

  5. How features to facilitate inter-role communication can quite often be built iteratively, on top of existing APIs.

Data processing users will leave this session with details on a powerful model for easing communication between development and operations in Sahara. OpenStack contributors will leave this session with a refreshed perspective on the importance of understanding not only the use case, or even “the user”, but the many roles within an OpenStack customer organization.

External Plugin Interfaces for OpenStack QA Projects
Starting in the Kilo cycle OpenStack underwent a change in governance model where the scope of what we call OpenStack has been redefined. The new model is called the "Big Tent", and is much less exclusionary. Prior to this the QA program had a policy of directly supporting any project that was part of OpenStack, meaning tests in tempest, support in devstack for running them, etc. However in a model where there are far more projects considered part of OpenStack it becomes infeasible to directly support all of them. Even before the "Big Tent" was adopted, we realized that this centralized approach did not scale well with the growing number of OpenStack projects. With the "Big Tent" opening up the doors to more projects, the scale issue has become even more compelling. 

As a result of this change in governance model, we have worked on moving QA in OpenStack to a self-service model, where each new project in OpenStack is responsible for writing and maintaining their deployment scripts and tests, as plugins to the tools for deployment and testing frameworks maintained by the QA team.This will allow both the upstream QA efforts to scale organically with the rest of the OpenStack ecosystem but also allow new projects to control their own testing and deployment stories for gating, which can increase development velocity for newer projects.

This talk will cover the work which was done to add external plugin interfaces to Tempest, Devstack, and grenade as well as go into examples on how to use each project's respective interface. It will also show examples where these plugin interfaces are being leveraged today.

Distros: Let's Not Make *That* Mistake Again
In the early days of OpenStack—think Diablo and Essex—smart people had a great idea: let’s simplify OpenStack consumption by offering a choice in between the polar opposites of build it yourself (DIY) and a Rackspace account.

And thus, the OpenStack software distribution was born. Startups and legacy IT shops spent the next 4 years trying to convince a skeptical market that distros were the way to go, but it hasn’t worked out. With a couple of exceptions, distros are vanishing from the competitive landscape.

In this session, we’ll look at what happened. We’ll examine the reasons why very few enterprises want to learn or operate OpenStack, but remain hungry to *consume* it. We’ll ask why most enterprise buyers want OpenStack without having to touch OpenStack. We’ll look at the mindset of enterprises that “get” agile and realize their success rests solely on differentiation through application innovation, not through an investment in infrastructure and operations. Finally, we’ll look at some of the places where innovation is happening in the OpenStack ecosystem and how new business models are emerging.

Attend this session if you agree, disagree or simply want to have an honest conversation about what we can learn from the demise of one of the early favorites in OpenStack business models.

Comparison of Swift and Ceph as Object Storage Systems
Swift and Ceph are both very popular distributed and flexible storage systems providing object storage based on commodity hardware. However, they are very different. This presentation will provide a comprehensive comparison of Swift and Ceph. We will study some real-world object storage requirements and show some test results of both Swift and Ceph based on modeling of real-world scenarios. We will also discuss the pros and cons of building a object storage system with Swift and Ceph, not only the performance and features, but also the cost of constructing and operating such storage systems. We will take the "unified storage" feature of Ceph into account, which may save the cost if the user also want a distributed block storage system and file system.

Working With Upstream OpenStack Deadlines and Internal Deadlines
You are developer, and you have just been told to work with OpenStack. Welcome to the OpenStack community! You have also just been told you need to release your product next month, you have your all the codeyou’re your new feature complete, and a few bug fixes done. Now you just need to get that pushed upstream. Where do you go next?

You have been working for OpenStack for a while; some internal issues meant you had to stop reading the ML for a month or two. How do you get back in the loop?

You are working hard reviewing specs and code, and the work load is getting crazy, and everyone is saying their use case is the most important thing for OpenStack, and they are all really useful things to consider. What is the right thing to do?

Maybe we can use lessons from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird improves how new and established OpenStack contributors work together?

John has spent time at Citrix packaing OpenStack for public cloud, then pushing a vendor technology upstream (with an element of coopetition). Since early 2013, he has been working on Rackspace’s public cloud. Mostly recently he served as the Nova PTL for the Liberty release. He is distilling what he has learnt during this journey, and looking to share this experience more widely, and hopes this will help create some great conversations about how we can all work together even more efficiently and effectively.

Herding Cats Into Boxes: How OpenStack Release Management Changes With the Big Tent
The Liberty cycle has seen some big changes to our release process and tools. As the OpenStack projects have matured, and the OpenStack community has grown, the Release Management team has updated the way we manage releases to support the way projects want to work while continuing to make it easy for users to understand what is included in each release. All of these changes lay the groundwork for more changes to come in Mitaka.

These changes will immediately impact:

  • Distribution providers

  • Deployers

  • Version Numbering

  • The future of stable branches

  • Release cycles


This is a must-attend session for:

  • Those who curate or provide an OpenStack distribution

Let's Talk Roadmaps - OpenStack Style
The OpenStack Tent is big and as an OpenStack Operator, Vendor or Contributor it can be a challenge to know what’s going on in each ring.  Help is on the way! The OpenStack Product Work Group strives to work across our community to create a condensed, simplified set of roadmaps of the capabilities you can expect in the upcoming project releases. 

In this session we'll present our findings across the different projects in an effort to give users a glimpse into OpenStack's upcoming capabilities.  The roadmaps presented will span multiple releases and strive to unify the future direction of the individual projects on a per release basis.  This session had over 800 RSVPs at the last summit so please show up early!

OpenStack Trivia
An OpenStack trivia game featuring multiple choice questions using slides, etc, encouraging audience participation. There will also be audible questions (just shout out the answer). Goofy prizes will be awarded. This theme can be used as an icebreaker/etc at OpenStack meetups (the first one, birthday ones, etc.) This talk would also work as a lightning talk with the slides auto advancing.

Each slide will have a backup slide giving a bit more detail about the topic so also educational.

It Takes a Community: Interoperable Networking In OpenStack via DefCore
Would you like to be able to move applications seamlessly between OpenStack Powered clouds?  Sure you would—but today, that’s hard.  One of the trickiest aspects of interoperability today is the network stack: OpenStack has multiple networking API’s available that can’t be deployed together, making it difficult to create an interoperable standard.  Without an interoperable standard, applications become a tangle of if/else loops to account for the different possible networking capabilities of various public clouds, appliances, distributions, and managed offerings--and it’s difficult to determine which products support which networking options at all.  Interoperability by if/else loop isn’t really interoperability at all.

The OpenStack community is responding to the challenge of creating an interoperable standard between OpenStack Powered products via the work of the DefCore Committee.  The DefCore Guidelines seek to define core in such a way that OpenStack Powered products can be verifiably tested for adherence to an interoperability standard and consumers can make informed decisions about what they deploy and how they write their applications.  But the DefCore Committe can't operate in a vacume: solving interoperability in networking requires the help of the technical community, the Board of Directors, the DefCore Committee, vendors, and operators.

In this talk, members of the Nova and Neutron technical communities and the DefCore Committee will discuss the history of networking in OpenStack, take the current temperature of OpenStack's networking stacks, and discuss how the DefCore Committee, technical community, and Board of Directors are working together to solve the interoperability problem.  We’ll explain what’s being proposed for the next DefCore Guideline and how we as a community got there.  Attendees will learn about the impact on operators and vendors and leave with an understanding of what to expect of OpenStack Powered (TM) products that meet interoperable networking standards in the future.  We’ll also discuss the feedback that’s been generated so far from operators, vendors, and developers and discuss the future of interoperable networking in OpenStack.

The Numbers of the Open Cloud (Tokyo Edition)
The talk will present a quantitative analysis of the projects producing the main free, open source software cloud platforms: OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, OpenNebula and Eucalyptus. The analysis will focus on the communities behind those projects, their main development parameters, and the trends that can be observed.

Understanding the inner life of free / open source software projects is of fundamental importance to developers, users and decision makers. This talk will help to understand what's happening behind the curtains in the most relevant open cloud platforms, by analyzing the rich data obtained from their developing repositories.

The talk will cover, for the four analyzed projects, the following topics:

* How open is their development model, and to which extent they provide access to their development data.
Some parameters related to the overall activity and effort put into the development and maintenance of their products.
* The main characteristics of their development community: size, diversity, engagement, attraction, etc.
* The main parameters characterizing their performance, such as time-to-fix tickets or time-to-review patches.
* Some visualizations of the most relevant aspects.

A bonus track with novel information providing insight on the OpenStack community will have a slot in the presentation.

All the tools used to produce the analysis presented in this talk are free, open source software, based on the Grimoire technology, http://vizgrimoire.github.io. The talk will also provide some hints on how to reproduce the study, on these or other projects.

Illustrative example of the kind of information that will be presented: OpenStack Grimoire Dashboard, http://activity.openstack.org/

This talk will be an update and extension of the one I delivered in Paris OpenStack Summit, http://bit.ly/openstack-opencloud
