We are into deep work on 4.2.0 and need your help in making the grade. There's a lot of interesting discussions going on into the community about the next generation of CloudStack and functionality we can provide as well as some procedural adjustments everyone should be aware of.
To help get information out a little more timely to key discussions and information that is going on in the community we are going to move the publishing of the weekly news to Wednesdays starting with this issue on July 10th!
In this section we look at major discussions that have happened on the CloudStack mailing lists. This is by no means a full summary of all discussions on the lists, but we try to hit the highlights that are relevant to the larger CloudStack community.
What's going on in the CloudStack community? While all the discussion happens on the mailing lists, we also encourage members of the CloudStack community to share what they're working on their blogs. In this section, you'll find posts by Apache CloudStack community members and interesting news that's relevant to Apache CloudStack.
The ShapeBlue blog has a summary of the most recent meeting, by Giles Sirett.
Sebastien Goasguen has a tutorial on his blog about using Apache Whirr with CloudStack. "In this tutorial we introduce Apache Whirr, an application that can be used to define, provision and configure big data solutions on CloudStack based clouds. Whirr automatically starts instances in the cloud and boostrapps hadoop on them. It can also add packages such as Hive, Hbase and Yarn for map-reduce jobs."
Joe Brockmeier talks a bit about Gene Kim's keynote at the CloudStack Collaboration Conference, "Why Every Company Needs DevOps Now."
Gregg Witkin and Jessica Tomechak are working together on videos this summer. Gregg hit the ground running by bringing his cameras to the Collab Conference June 24-25 in Santa Clara. He is editing that footage into short clips to help promote the November CloudStack Collaboration Conference in Amsterdam.
These short videos will be posted as soon as the conference organizers approve them. Meanwhile, check out these videos Gregg did with CloudStack just last year. Link 1, Link 2
