Notable Discussions – openstack-dev

Election Season

Tristan Cacqueray reminded the list that September and October are the period over which OTL and TC elections are held.  More details to follow of course, in the meantime he invited questions back to the thread if more general/public in nature or to Tony Breeds, Nate Johnston or himself if more private in nature.

OpenStack Summit App Beta testers sought

Jimmy McArthur from the OpenStack Foundation put out a call for people to beta test the app for the upcoming summit. They’re after both iOS and Android users.

An update on the InfraCloud

Ricardo Carrillo Cruz posted an update on the status of the InfraCloud – as he neatly describes it “…essentially a bunch of hardware donated by HPE to the project to run an OpenStack cloud for CI testing…”  More information in Ricardo’s post or here.
