At the OpenStack Meetup in Santa Clara, CA last week there were some interesting lighting talks from various speakers. Rob Hirschfeld from Dell presents his viewpoint on massively large cloud platforms.

Jay Pipes and Stephen Spector were guests on the weekly Linux Link Tech Show last night and I wanted to share the link to the recorded Podcast. You can get the Podcast in various formats at http://www.tllts.org/rsspage.php and select the Feb 9th Episode 389 recording.
Many people have asked for more insight into the developer activities for OpenStack as the large number of code changes and proposals make it difficult to monitor everything happening. In hopes of exposing more of the developer activities, I plan to post a weekly or biweekly blog post on the latest development activities. If you have any ideas for this blog post, please email me at [email protected]. I am always ready to listen to the community for new ideas.

OPENSTACK IN THE NEWS
It has been an intense and productive three months since OpenStack unveiled the initial “Austin” release to the world. We have had code contributions from 130 developers and have added over 30 new features to the project for the “Bexar” release. The project has matured in the processes for managing and tracking milestone targets, with the Bexar release coming together smoothly and without hiccups with our new release manager.
For Bexar here is what you can expect to see:
The “Bexar” release introduced and completed a lot of features in the project. For the next release, Cactus, we will focus even more on stability and deployability, better preparing OpenStack for really large, carrier-grade installations.
This is not to say there will not be exciting features also being completed in this milestone. Current blueprints include:
And these are just the highlights!
There has also been a lot of discussion on IRC and the mailing list about extending the Nova Volume and Network controllers and providing public API’s to these services. We should expect to see more discussion and specific blueprints coming in shortly.
In addition to the direct planning for “Cactus” and follow-on “Diablo” releases there has been a handful of submissions to the Project Oversight Committee (POC); these include considering the process for adding core developers to projects, image format support, and overall charter for the near term (2011) of the OpenStack project. We have gotten our feet wet with our governance process, made some adjustments, and expect to see more activity by the POC as we continue to guide and define the OpenStack project.
Getting to this point with Swift and Nova has been a tremendous amount of effort, everyone involved is to be commended. Looking forward we will continue to execute on delivering project milestones but at the same time start to introduce and discuss longer term visions and roadmaps for this project. There is consistent community feedback that in addition to understanding the current project as scoped a longer term view needs to be communicated. This will introduce new projects, new opportunities for the community to contribute, and greater value and impact of the OpenStack project in the cloud industry. I am looking forward to the discussions, debates, and projects this will spark.
