Worklog

• made an introduction round - we're a nice mixture of people from single freelancers over consultants in medium sized shops to superlarge companies and with very varying experiences, all very interesting, some total beginners with openstack some people working with it since 2 years
  • Interesting: https://www.aoterra.de/
• Updated my devstack installation on my test server

TODO

• Check current state of my development system / reinstall or update it
  • Which devstack bfranch to check out? master? nope, for something stable it's stable/grizzly
  • go through http://devstack.org/ again!
  • see if my patches for the iso loading are still necessary

• A small single system production installation
  • is it a good idea, useful?
  • How to do it? Handmade? Use some distribuion like Rackspace / Mirantis / Crowbar?
    • http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/private/script/
    • http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/basic-install/apt/content/
    • http://wiki.debian.org/OpenStackHowto

• Which areas of OpenStack require development/testing/bugfixing/documentation work where I can help
  • directly in OpenStack
  • In packaging for Debian

Q and A
