Forum Brainstorming
by Kendall Nelson 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hello Everyone! The Virtual Forum is approaching. We would love 1 volunteer from the community for the Forum Selection Committee. Ideally, the volunteer would already be serving in some capacity in a governance role for your project. In addition to calling for volunteers for the Forum selection committee, this email kicks off the brainstorming period before the CFP tool opens for formal Forum submissions. The categories for brainstorming etherpads have already been setup here[1]. Please add your etherpads and ideas there! The CFP tool will open on August 31st and will close September 14th. For information on the upcoming virtual Summit[2]. For more information on the Forum[3]. Please reach out to jimmy(a)openstack.org or knelson(a)openstack.org if you're interested. Volunteers should respond on or before August 31, 2020. Thanks!

OpenDev IRC services are moving to OFTC this weekend
by Jeremy Stanley 26 May '21

26 May '21

As a majority of our constituent projects have voiced a preference for enacting our long-standing evacuation plan, the OpenDev Collaboratory's IRC service bots will be switching from Freenode to the OFTC network this weekend (May 29-30, 2021). We understand this is short notice, but multiple projects have requested that we act quickly. Please expect some gaps in channel logging and notifications from our various bots over the course of the weekend. I have provided a much more detailed writeup to the service-discuss mailing list, and encourage anyone with questions to read it and follow up there if needed. Subsequent updates will be sent only to service-discuss, in order to limit noise for individual project lists and keep further discussion focused in one place as much as possible: http://lists.opendev.org/pipermail/service-discuss/2021-May/000249.html -- Jeremy Stanley

OpenDev Collaboratory IRC services
by Jeremy Stanley 21 May '21

21 May '21

I know lots of people are discussing the recent Freenode IRC upheaval and what it means for their projects. On behalf of the OpenDev sysadmins I've started a thread on the service-discuss(a)lists.opendev.org mailing list to get feedback from communities currently utilizing the OpenDev Collaboratory's IRC bot services in their channels on Freenode (meeting minutes/logging, Gerrit change events, OpenDev service status information, channel operator assistance): http://lists.opendev.org/pipermail/service-discuss/2021-May/000236.html Please follow up there with your thoughts, to assist in our decision making, so we can take the needs of your project into account. Thanks! -- Jeremy Stanley

Project Caerus Code Release
by Hui Lei 17 May '21

17 May '21

Dear all, As you may know, the Caerus project of the Open Infra Labs investigates techniques such as near-data processing and semantic caching to optimize the performance of disaggregated data lakes. I am pleased to announce that an initial version of the project code is now available in the open infra lab repo (https://github.com/open-infrastructure-labs/caerus). The initial code base enables the pushing down of Spark SQL operations to the data nodes of HDFS. Attached is a preliminary evaluation of the work using TPCH benchmark. You are all welcome to check out and, better yet, contribute to the work. We will be using the project wiki ( https://github.com/open-infrastructure-labs/caerus/wiki) for discussions and questions. - Hui Lei

backing up github
by Daitzman, Michael S 10 May '21

10 May '21

We don’t have an enterprise account with github which led to a a realization that we don’t have an explicit “backup” model for openinfralabs repositories. Historically I think we’ve depended on people having local copies in case of “outages”. I was curious, does the open infrastructure foundation have a way to do “backups” of repositories? --- Michael Daitzman (He/Him) msd(a)bu.edu cell:978-201-9965

by Jeremy Stanley 10 May '21

10 May '21

I received a notification from Jennifer Stacy at BU letting me know that this month's Telemetry Working Group meeting, originally scheduled for May 11 (tomorrow), is cancelled due to lack of availability for key participants. The June 8 meeting is still planned as usual. Feel free to follow up here on the mailing list, IRC/Slack, or GitHub issues with any important topics of discussion in the meantime. -- Jeremy Stanley
