==About LCOO==

The Large Contributing OpenStack Operator (LCOO) is an organizationally based working group. Instead of being a group of various individuals who come together to produce some particular deliverable(s), LCOO strives to be a forum in which companies can network together around OpenStack topics and priorities, sharing information and identifying opportunities for collaboration. LCOO also provides a framework of tools and shared practices designed to encourage and enable intra-company collaboration. While all are welcome to participate, it is companies that join as 'members' and make a committment to participate and contribute.

'''LCOO's Mission'''
* To facilitate intra-company sharing / discussing of OpenStack priorities, strategy, challenges and solutions
* To share information about community happenings and encourage participation
* To be a bridge connecting the activities of the OpenStack community with otherwise internally focused OpenStack users
* To build a network of intra-company relationships between internally focused OpenStack SME's/Users
* To provide a framework to encourage intra-company collaboration
* Promote the operational needs / use cases of our members within the OpenStack Community
* To encourage increased contribution to and material support of OpenStack

'''Key Differentiators'''
* Large operator focused
* Private Cloud operator focused
* Horizontal scaling / distributed cloud focused
* Membership is by Company

'''Guiding Principles'''
* Openness - The LCOO works openly, transparently and collaboratively within the OpenStack community to contributre towards the continual enhancement of the OpenStack platform. LCOO ensures that member efforts align with the spirit and goals of the OpenStack Foundation.
* Contribute Work Upstream - In the spirit of open source, LCOO is committed to furthering open standards by ensuring that work is contributed upstream, by working within the community.
* Accelerate OpenStack Innovation - Through its multi-cultural, globally distributed and technologically diverse member companies, the LCOO creates an environment for its members that promotes greater opportunities for learning, mentoring, innovation and accomplishment than possible by any member alone. By joining resources, members are able to engage more deeply, broadly and effectively within the community in order to raise awareness of key priorities and accelerate improvement.

'''Why should companies join? Why should individuals participate?'''
* To increase your professional network
* To gain new insights, to learn how other companies are addressing our common challenges
* To promote and garner support for key priorities and iniatives among other companies
* To engage in mutually beneficial collaborative endeavors with other like minded companies

=== WOO Mission Statement ===
The Women of OpenStack (WOO) strive to increase the diversity of the OpenStack community by overcoming OpenStack's barrier to entry through educational sessions, professional networking, mentorship, social inclusion, and enhanced resource access. WOO recognizes that individuals in minority groups are more likely to have challenges accessing the resources it takes to learn and participate in complex technologies, which is why WOO welcomes all women and their allies who share an interest in OpenStack, open source, and adjacent technologies. These goals are achieved through leading and sponsorship of educational sessions and social events that promote inclusion in the OpenStack Community.

=== WOO Mission Statement ===
The Women of OpenStack (WOO) strive to increase the diversity of the OpenStack community by overcoming OpenStack's barrier to entry through educational sessions, professional networking, mentorship, social inclusion, and enhanced resource access. WOO recognizes that individuals in minority groups are more likely to have challenges accessing the resources it takes to learn and participate in complex technologies, which is why WOO welcomes all women and their allies who share an interest in OpenStack, open source, and adjacent technologies. These goals are achieved through leading and sponsorship of educational sessions and social events that promote inclusion in the OpenStack Community.

|-
| 5 || Need women leaders to be more visible in the OpenStack main tent sessions || Have a woman keynote speaker, more women participate in panel discussions. Support women with speaker training and creating a pipeline of speaking opportunities for them.
|-
| 6 || Need a supportive and interactive environment for women to come together and support one another with the OpenStack community || Create a private IRC channel for the Women of OpenStack, opportunities to seek and find mentors more naturally based on technology and areas of interest

The interop challenge was started in July 2016 to create a set of common workloads/tests to be executed across multiple OpenStack distributions and/or cloud deployment models. The participants in this challenge will work together to prove once and for all that OpenStack-Powered clouds are interoperable.

Original presentation used during team creation: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_yCSDGnhIbzZmtOUXlmZGhPR0U Interoperability Challenge Kick-Off]

=== Duration ===
The team will complete the Interop Challenge prior to the [https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/ next summit] working together with partners in the OpenStack Foundation.

=== Scripts/Tools used for Interop Challenge ===
The interop challenge requires that we use common testing scripts and validation methods across multiple clouds. The team has agreed to post all scripts to the [https://github.com/openstack/osops-tools-contrib osops-tools-contrib] repository since the templates/scripts used for the Interop Challenge are also useful outside of this context and could serve as examples on how to use various tools to deploy applications on OpenStack-Powered Clouds.

The current list of proposed tooling includes:
* Ansible
* Terraform
* OpenStack Heat

The current list of workloads includes:
* LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) Stack
* Dockerswarm-coreos
* NFV

==== How to Propose/Submit new tools/workloads ====
Any participating member of the Interop Challenge can submit additional scripts/workloads for review by the team. The script to leverage the new tool and/or deploy the new workload should be posted to the [https://github.com/openstack/osops-tools-contrib osops-tools-contrib] repository. Information on how to contribute to OpenStack repositories can be found in the OpenStack [http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html Developer's Guide].

Once you have posted the code for review, please send an email to the OpenStack DefCore mailing list with the following subject: "[interop] New tool/workload proposal: <code>brief description</code>" and provide a link to the code review page for the change along with an overview of the tool or where people can find more information. The proposal will be reviewed by the team and, if necessary, added to the agenda for an upcoming meeting.

==== Directory Structure ====
Repo used by the Interop-challenge: https://github.com/openstack/osops-tools-contrib
Directory structure is proposed below:
/heat - use heat template to create workload
lampstack
dockerswarm-coreo
...
/terraform - use terraform to create workload
lampstack
dockerswarme-coreos
...
/xxx - use xxx to create workload

=== Test Candidate Process ===
(Proposed; subject to change after 08-10-2016 meeting)
* Run complete RefStack API tests and submit results to https://refstack.openstack.org/#/ (SME: Catherine Diep/IBM)
* Terraform/docker swarm https://github.com/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/master/terraform/dockerswarm-coreos (SME: Jason Kennedy/IBM)
** We may need to talk about the content of each work load, use lamp stack as an example.
** How substantial should the application be, if doing wordpress, do we also creates some posts, pages?
** Do we need the lamp stack being deployed by terraform, heat template, ansible or we just need one say ansible?
* LAMP stack workload (created by Tong Li/IBM)
** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/351879/
** Currently developed using terraform to deploy workload, looking into Ansible
* HEAT template (submitted by Craig Sterrett & Leong/Intel)
** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/351799/

For test assistance or if you would like Tong Li to run the tests on your clouds, please contact Tong Li (IRC: tongli, email: litong01@us.ibm.com )

=== RefStack Testing and Results Upload ===
Information on how to run RefStack tests can be found at:https://github.com/openstack/refstack-client/blob/master/README.rst
*Slide 15, 16, 17 in this RefStack Austin Summit [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CoegiPzVp8G4VLdrOYTX9ZI_E-PTRx0gWVpuF9ElKRU/edit#slide=id.p presentation] provides some information about customizing a tempest.conf file for RefStack testing.

Once tests are run, test results can be uploaded to the official [https://refstack.openstack.org/#/ RefStack server] by following the instruction described in https://github.com/openstack/refstack/blob/master/doc/source/uploading_private_results.rst.
*RefStack team highly recommends to upload test results with signatures and not anonymously. By default, the privately uploaded data isn't shared, but authorized users can decide to share the results with the community anonymously.

For Interop Challenge, DefCore team recommends to run complete API tests (not just the must-pass tests). Following is the command to run the tests:
./refstack-client test -c <Path of the tempest configuration file to use> -v

For questions, please contact us at IRC channels #refstack or #openstack-defcore, or send email to the OpenStack [http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/defcore-committee DefCore mailing list]

=== Where/How to Share Test Results ===
Rather than collecting binary "pass/fail" results, one of our goals for the challenge is to start gathering some information about what makes a workload portable or not. Once you've run each of the workloads above, we ask that you copy/paste the following template into an email and send it to defcore-committee@lists.openstack.org with "[interop-challenge] Workload Results" in the subject line.

1.) Your name:
2.) Your email:
3.) Reporting on behalf of Company/Organization:
4.) Name and version (if applicable) of the product you tested:
5.) Version of OpenStack the product uses:
6.) Link to RefStack results for this product:
7.) Workload 1: LAMP Stack with Ansible (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/ansible/lampstack)
A.) Did the workload run successfully?
B.) If not, did you encounter any end-user visible error messages? Please copy/paste them here and provide any context you think would help us understand what happened.
C.) Were you able to determine why the workload failed on this product? If so, please describe. Examples: the product is missing a feature that the workload assumes is available, the product limits an action by policy that the workload requires, the workload assumes a particular image type or processor architecture, etc.
D.) (optional) In your estimation, how hard would it be to modify this workload to get it running on this product? Can you describe what would need to be done?
8.) Workload 2: Docker Swarm with Terraform (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/terraform/dockerswarm-coreos)
A.) Did the workload run successfully?
B.) If not, did you encounter any end-user visible error messages? Please copy/paste them here and provide any context you think would help us understand what happened.

Here's a fictional example of what the email template might look like when filled out:

1.) Your name: Jane Doe
2.) Your email: jdoe@supercoolsoftware.com
3.) Reporting on behalf of Company/Organization: XYZ, Inc.
4.) Name and version (if applicable) of the product you tested: SuperCool Private Cloud 4.5
5.) Version of OpenStack the product uses: Liberty
6.) Link to RefStack results for this product: https://refstack.openstack.org/#/results/fc80592b-4503-481c-8aa6-49d414961f2d
7.) Workload 1: LAMP Stack with Ansible (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/ansible/lampstack)
A.) Did the workload run successfully? No
B.) If not, did you encounter any end-user visible error messages? Please copy/paste them here and provide any context you think would help us understand what happened.

"Error in fetching the floating IP's: no floating IP addresses available"

C.) Were you able to determine why the workload failed on this product? If so, please describe. Examples: the product is missing a feature that the workload assumes is available, the product limits an action by policy that the workload requires, the workload assumes a particular image type or processor architecture, etc.

SuperCoolCloud doesn't use floating IP addresses. Instead, we recommend that cloud admins create a shared provider network with external routing connectivity.

D.) (optional) In your estimation, how hard would it be to modify this workload to get it running on this product? Can you describe what would need to be done?

Not very. Basically we just need to add a config variable that allows the user to specify whether the cloud uses floating IP's (and a small if loop in a few places that says "if we're configured to not use floating IP's, assume it's ok to use the instance's fixed IP instead").

8.) Workload 2: Docker Swarm with Terraform (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/osops-tools-contrib/tree/terraform/dockerswarm-coreos)
A.) Did the workload run successfully? Yes
B.) If not, did you encounter any end-user visible error messages? Please copy/paste them here and provide any context you think would help us understand what happened.
