[Event Report] OpenStack, December 1, 2012, Symbiosis (SICSR), Pune, India
by Shakthi Kannan 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, A workshop on OpenStack [1] was conducted on Saturday, December 1, 2012 at the Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR) [2], Pune, India. Both theory and lab sessions were organized for the students. I started the proceedings using Perry Myers's presentation on "Introduction and Overview of OpenStack for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Clouds" for the Essex release. The various building blocks of OpenStack with their functionality was explained. An overall big picture of the architecture was presented to them with illustrations. The OpenStack Lab Guide [3] was then given to the participants to setup their own OpenStack private cloud. Some of them had brought their own laptops, while others used the Fedora machines in the labs. We started by setting up the Keystone service, and adding users for authentication. The Glance service was then installed, and configured. A Fedora 17 and cirros image [4] were then imported into Glance. The Nova service was then setup, and a SSH keypair was created for testing. The Horizon dashboard user interface was used to start a virtual machine instance. Using ssh and the created keypair, we were able to login to the virtual machine and use it. curl was used to test the different REST API on the running stack. I also showed them simple Python examples to demonstrate the OpenStack APIs. As a final presentation for the day, I gave an introduction on libvirtd, and KVM. Thanks to Manoj Aswani for working with me in organizing this workshop. Thanks also to Perry Myers and Mark McLoughlin for permission to use their presentation. Few pictures taken during the workshop are available [5].

Hi FAms, If you are thinking of getting a work done this would be a good news. Fedora is participating GCI 2012 where students work on defined tasks. Therefore if you have any task we can add it to the list and get it done. Tasks that are feasible for students to complete such as design, documentation, QA, testing and simple coding can be added to this list. Therefore if you have any requirement like posters for your release parties and kind of, please let me know, so that I can add them. Thanks -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera (bckurera)

Modifications to the fudcon kl page. Is it one of us or an advertisement campaign?
by Ankur Sinha 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi folks, Someone's made an edit to the fudcon kl wiki page which looks quite like an advertisement campaign: quietly adding links to our wiki pages. (the even has been over long back, makes no sense for someone to add hotel info to it now). Did one of us make this, is it a genuine edit? Or is this spamming and needs to be reverted? If it's spamming, can someone please contact the spammer and request them to not repeat this behaviour? (It's an anonymous edit apparently) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=FUDCon% 3AKualaLumpur_2012&diff=313075&oldid=288853 -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.
