OpenInfra Labs Branding
by James Cole 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Greetings OpenInfra Labs team! My name is James Cole and I’m a graphic designer with the OpenStack Foundation. We want to help you brand this project and would like to gather your ideas before venturing too far down the logo development process. There are a few obvious possibilities for the visual identity (e.g., laboratory equipment, scientific things, symbols related to testing, etc.) but maybe you have some unique ideas that would better represent the project. Our brand design process normally follows these steps: Gather internal and community requirements Create some rough concepts Share the concepts internally with the OSF team Share the concepts on the mailing list and gather feedback Revise and refine concepts as necessary Gather consensus and select the community favorite as the official logo Some things that are helpful to know: Do you have any initial ideas or opinions for this brand? How would you want this brand to be perceived (corporate, futuristic, whimsical, trustworthy, etc.)? Are there any brands or projects similar to this project? Are there any brands or visual systems you do not want to emulate? Any other thoughts? Thank you! James Cole Graphic Designer OpenStack Foundation

Meeting May 20th
by Daitzman, Michael S 19 May '20

19 May '20

We did not decide on an agenda for this week – rather than a complete cancelation lets do ½ hour with a very focused agenda of: 1. Topics for next 3 meetings (starter list below) 2. Assuming I get through a relisten today, will pick out some timeslots for various volunteers to take and convert into epics/stories – will discuss tomorrow 3. Any parking lot issues Notes and recordings from last zoom meeting live here: https://gitlab.com/open-infrastructure-labs/nerc-architecture/-/tree/master… – I plan to move video part to youtube, have not yet. Starter list of topics: 1. Current HPC tooling for monitoring/reporting (chargeback, showback, hw inventory) that NERC needs to connect into. (I’ve asked some of the folk on the first call with deep HPC experience for feedback/timing so maybe not May 20th.) 2. Deeper dive on specific sw components where decisions will need to be made, eg. long term storage of data 3. Assumption – we are gonna with Prometheus – if so, do we need a session outlining the exporters we need to develop to meet NERC requirements (item 1 from above) 4. Other topics? Leaving the calendar invite unchanged. PS – if you I have moved email addresses to BCC to simplify mail list – please sign up for openinfralabs mailing list if you have not already at: http://lists.opendev.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openinfralabs --- Michael Daitzman (He/Him) msd(a)bu.edu cell:978-201-9965

Hi, If you aren’t already, please sign up for the openinfralabs Mailing list: http://lists.opendev.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openinfralabs (does anyone know if calendar invites make it through the mailing list? ) When I refer to NERC it is because they are the first target for the OILabs codebase. Call for agenda topics for this and next two Wednesdays: Some potential agenda items for this coming Wednesday: 1. Current HPC tooling for monitoring/reporting (chargeback, showback, hw inventory) that NERC needs to connect into.

Proposing a new OILabs sub-project on compute-storage coordination
by Hui Lei 15 May '20

15 May '20

Hi all, I would like to propose a new sub-project under the OILabs umbrella. The proposed sub-project, dubbed Caerus, will develop techniques to improve the interactions between compute and storage servers. As you may know, there is a trend of compute and storage decoupling, where a compute engine such as Spark, Presto, and Tensorflow is physically separate and far apart from a storage system such as an object store, a file system, or even a database. There are various things that can be done to improve the end-to-end performance, e.g., pushing part of computation to the storage side, and opportunely caching source data, intermediate results or metadata on the compute side. Project Caerus will develop a framework for coordinating between compute and storage servers and for autonomously making optimization decisions such as what part of processing to be pushed down to storage and what content to be cached on the compute server. I believe this project aligns well with OpenInfraLabs' mission of integrating different layers of a cloud stack. I welcome your thoughts on the project idea and, more importantly, your contribution after the project is officially kicked off. Hui Lei

Open Infra Labs/Operate Monitoring Architecture Discussion
by Daitzman, Michael S 12 May '20

12 May '20

Initially we planned to do this via IRC but after more thought we decided to start the bell rollign with a zoom call which we wil share publicly with notes. The seeds for the discusssion are in this Epic: https://gitlab.com/open-infrastructure-labs/nerc-architecture/-/issues/4  what are the things desired from a monitoring platform?  what kind of information is expected (is just metrics enough? what other data types do you require?)  what kind of presentation layer is expected? do you just need a dashboard that shows graphs, or do you need more detailed analysis, and what might that look like if you do?  how can the operational knowledge be conveyed? are there a default set of rules that can be provided out of the box as it were? what defines a "healthy cloud"? what defines a cloud that is degraded? what is the remediation path, such as alerting a human, or are there systems that can fix the cloud automatically?  are closed-loop systems different from monitoring? are they different planes? are they similar but have different scopes?  what is the expected resolution of metrics? sub-second? 5 seconds? 30 seconds? minutes? Feel free to add topics you want to be discussed in comments in the Epic. To help us pick a time please let us know which of the slots in this doodle poll https://doodle.com/poll/qrztwefpvebd53gv Bill and I will begin scheduling these more regularly and will do an doodle poll to find timeslots for recurring meetings. If there are people you feel should attend who may not be on the associated mailing lists please forward this note.

Yesterday in Freenode IRC: #openinfralabs: <jamesmcarthur>said: hi - i understand there are some website questions 6:38 PMI set up the initial repo under our OpenStack org, for lack of a better rplace 6:39 PMIf anyone wants access or needs to do updates, I'm happy to help. We can also accept pull requests. 6:39 PMWe're currently in the middle of updating the site to use Gatsby and Netlify, so if we could hold on moving the repo for a bit, that would be great. 6:39 PM[...stuff removed..] Is it possible to move this discussion to the ml?

Virtual Project Teams Gathering
by Jeremy Stanley 05 May '20

05 May '20

I know some of you are already aware of the Project Teams Gathering (PTG) events hosted by the OpenStack Foundation twice yearly. This year, for obvious reasons, we've switched it (at least temporarily) to become a globally-distributed virtual event. I thought the OILabs community had been officially invited to participate, but couldn't find any clear record so thought I would bring it up here. https://www.openstack.org/ptg As it says there, the full schedule will cover Monday, June 1 through Friday, June 5. Being a global event, timeslots are in UTC and available basically around the clock. If OILabs folks have things they think this event would provide them a useful venue for discussing or rallying around, we're welcome to pick some available times in the schedule here (just pick an available "room" for each date and time we would meet and stick something like "OILabs" in the cells): https://ethercalc.openstack.org/126u8ek25noy We ask that the group try to coordinate so that only one person is filling in the reservations, hopefully making it easier to avoid duplication of effort or accidents like signing up for more slots than we'll use. For those who have attended a PTG before, the tools we'll use are basically the same except, being virtual, OSF staff will make a videoconferencing service available to take the place of the physical venue they would normally arrange. For those who haven't attended a PTG before, it's a loosely-coordinated "unconference" style event where the only thing which is really firmly scheduled is when various groups of people plan to be around to talk with one another. We have an IRC channel (#openstack-ptg on Freenode) which acts as both a place for discussing event-related topics like seeking event-specific help, and as a command-and-control channel for our "ptgbot" which teams can use to indicate what topics they're talking about/getting ready to cover. It also has features for booking available rooms on short notice, and for individuals to indicate whether they're floating from one room to another: https://opendev.org/obmpenstack/ptgbot/src/branch/master/README.rst Even if we don't have anything in particular we want to talk about, many of us may still be interested in connecting with other teams/projects/communities or otherwise participating in the event. This is being run as a free event (no cost to participants), but OSF would strongly appreciate if folks who want to attend would still register (this assists in service capacity planning and helps remind folks of the event's code of conduct): https://virtualptgjune2020.eventbrite.com/ Thanks, and I hope to "see" you there! -- Jeremy Stanley
