I'm glad to annouce that there will be a Ceph Day on the 7th of February 2018 in Darmstadt. Deutsche Telekom will host the event. The day will start at 08:30 with registration and end around 17:45 with an one hour networking reception. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have already several very interesting presentations from SUSE, SAP, CERN, 42.com, Deutsche Telekom AG and Red Hat on the agenda and more to come. If you have an interesting 15-45 min presentation about Ceph, please contact <a href="mailto:cephday.germany.cfp@bisect.de" target="_blank">me</a> to discuss if we can add it to the agenda. Presentation language should be German or English.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would like to thank our current sponsors <a href="https://www.suse.com/" target="_blank">SUSE</a> and <a href="https://www.telekom.de/" target="_blank">Deutsche Telekom</a> and the <a href="http://ceph.com/" target="_blank">Ceph Community</a> for the support. We are still in negotiation with potential sponsors and will hopefully announce them soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The agenda will be available <a href="http://ceph.com/cephdays/germany/" target="_blank">here</a> soon. You can register through this <a href="https://cephdaygermany.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">link</a>. Stay tuned for updates! See you in Darmstadt!</div>

But then I have been asked by the Summit Speaker Support to present on the same topic also in a 40 min slot. No problem, but I didn't like to speak twice about the same. I asked to use the Lighning Talk for another topic on Ceph: "<i>Email Storage with Ceph</i>". </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since they accepted, I will speak in two sessions on different topics. If you are interested, check the <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/summit-schedule/speakers/1160" target="_blank">schedule</a>. See you in Sydney!</div>

Presented some minutes ago at the SUSECON in Prague again on the librmb project. It seems it was the first Ceph talk today and the room was full. You can find the slides from my talk at <a href="https://dalgaaf.github.io/SUSECon-2017" target="_blank">github</a>, they slightly changed compared to the Ceph Meetup slides.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Monday I presented at the Ceph Meetup in Berlin about a new project sponsored by Deutsche Telekom to store emails on Ceph. The project consists of librmb and rbox. While librmb (librados mailbox) is a generic abstraction layer to store emails in RADOS, rbox is a plugin for Dovecot to make use of the new library.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The code is released under LGPLv2.1 and now available at <a href="http://github.com/ceph-dovecot/" target="_blank">github</a>. The project is still under heavy development and not in a released state. Therefore the code and APIs can still change, but we really would like to invite every interested party to check it out, test the code and report findings and bugs back to the project. Be part of the project and contribute code! We plan to move the librmb code later to the Ceph project and the rbox plugin to Dovecot. For more information on the project check out the <a href="https://github.com/ceph-dovecot/dovecot-ceph-plugin" target="_blank">README</a> or take a look at my presentation from the <a href="https://dalgaaf.github.io/CephMeetUpBerlin20170918-librmb" target="_blank">Meetup</a>.</div>

The "Vote for Presentations" period will end in less than a day. All proposals are still up for community votes. The deadline for your vote is will end August 3th at 11:59pm PDT (August 4th at 8:59am CEST).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have submitted this time one proposal:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/19371" target="_blank">Vanilla vs OpenStack Distributions - Update on Distinctions, Status, and Statistics </a><b>- </b>One year ago in Barcelona we have taken a look behind the curtain of OpenStack Vanilla and the products of the four major OpenStack distributions. Let’s have an update and deeper look into it. You have the agony of choice if it comes to the question: Vanilla or an OpenStack distribution. It will highly depend on your usecase, technical requirements, resources and organization. This presentation will not only highlight differences between these choices but also between the distributions and their offerings. There is more to take a look at than only the OpenStack product itself as e.g. different hypervisor, Ceph, the base distributions and support. This time we also include new topics like SDN, NFV, Container and Managed Cloud. And for sure we will have a lot of new and updated statistics on community contribution and market share. This talk will cover besides Vanilla also at least RedHat, SUSE, Ubuntu/Canonical, and Mirantis OpenStack.</li>
</ul>
<div>
As always: every <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/19371" target="_blank">vote</a> is highly welcome! And don't forget to <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/" target="_blank">search</a> for other interesting proposals around Ceph, NFV and OpenStack as e.g. the presentations from Florian Haas [<a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/19119" target="_blank">1</a>][<a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/19557" target="_blank">2</a>][<a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/vote-for-speakers#/19911" target="_blank">3</a>].</div>

Yesterday I got an invitation to the <a href="http://www.opendevconf.com/" target="_blank">opendev</a> conference (September 7-8, 2017) from the OpenStack foundation. The conference is about edge computing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the topic itself is very interesting I was surprised that the opendev will be held in the U.S. (San Francisco, CA). I thought the foundation would have learned a lesson from the Boston summit this year. And as far as I understood it they decided to have currently no summits in the U.S. anymore until the political climate changed to allow risk free travel for all community members (see Kurt Garloff's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDWaul7i_kQ&list=PLdyB83p8EmPGBt0CWa5Vlt97RedYnnPP4&index=6" target="_blank">talk</a> at DOST around 8:45min). But it seems this applies only to the summits, very inconsistent! Some people would call it slightly duplicitous.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In light of the OpenStack Foundation's decision I'm still proud about the Ceph community. They decided with a clear <a href="https://ceph.com/cephalocon2017/" target="_blank">statement</a> to not held any event in the U.S. that requires travel for community members from foreign countries while there is the risk to potentially suffer harassment, digital privacy violations, or rejection at the border.</div>

I already submitted to talks for the Cephalocon 2017 in Boston end of August this year but unfortunately - for the community - the conference was cancelled on Friday this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here a quote from the cancellation statement:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ceph community has always been based on the principles of openness, inclusion, and a level playing field for all participants. We have worked hard to ensure that no matter what time zone you’re in, who you are, or how technically knowledgeable you are there is always a way for you to participate and contribute to the Ceph community.</span></i></div>
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is our sincere hope that the people of the United States will course-correct their leadership to conform to the principles that the country was founded on, and has served so well throughout history. In the meantime, we wont be hosting any events that require members of our community to travel to the U.S. and potentially suffer harassment, digital privacy violations, or rejection at the border.</span></i></i></div>
<i>
</i></blockquote>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the full statement please check this <a href="https://ceph.com/cephalocon2017/" target="_blank">page</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Though these are `SAD` news for the community, I fully support the decision and the statement. I'm looking forward for a new date for a Cephalocon, propably in Canada, Mexico or around the next OpenStack Summit in Sydney end of this year. It would be really good if the full Ceph community - including the developers - could get together at least once in a while.</div>

The "Vote for Presentations" period started already. All proposals are now again up for community votes. The period will end February 21th at 11:59pm PST (February 22th at 8:59am CEST).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time I have submitted a proposal together with WDLabs:</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/vote-for-speakers/#/17566" target="_blank">Next Generation Hardware for Software Defined Storage</a> </b></i>- Software Defined Storage like Ceph has changed the storage market dramatically in the last few years. While software has changed, storage hardware stayed basically the same: commodity servers connected to JBODs utilizing SAS/SATA devices. The next step must be a revolution in the hardware too. At the Austin summit the Ceph community presented a 4 PB Ceph cluster comprised of WDLabs Converged Microservers. Each Microserver is built by starting with an HGST HE8 HDD platform and adding an ARM and DDR running Linux on the drives itself. WDLabs provided access to early production devices for key customers such as Deutsche Telekom for adoption and feedback. This talk will provide insight into our findings running a Ceph cluster on this platform as a storage provider to OpenStack.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This period the voting process changed again unique URLs to proposals seems to work again. So if you would like to vote for my talk use this <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/vote-for-speakers/#/17566" target="_blank">link</a> or search for the proposal (e.g. use the title from above or search for "Al-Gaaf"). As always: every vote is highly welcome! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the last times I highly recommend to search also for "Ceph" or what ever topic your are interested in. You find the voting page <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/vote-for-speakers/" target="_blank">here</a> with all proposals and abstracts. I'm looking forward to see if and which of these talks will be selected.</div>

Today the OpenStack Summit started in Barcelona, Spain, with the keynotes.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to my talk later today: <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/summit-schedule/events/15734/vanilla-or-distributions-how-do-they-differentiate" target="_blank">Vanilla or Distributions: How Do They Differentiate?</a> and a interesting summit the next days.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07198243376012897554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20877744.post-16933692264677073872016-07-27T14:26:00.002+02:002016-07-27T14:26:45.358+02:00OpenStack Summit Barcelona: Vote for Presentations<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-76fq-UqplRk/V5ioHW3iFpI/AAAAAAAAFZw/6sliX9gyp0ckoG8bNcwAxlBtBm1gICDEwCLcB/s1600/logo-barcelona.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-76fq-UqplRk/V5ioHW3iFpI/AAAAAAAAFZw/6sliX9gyp0ckoG8bNcwAxlBtBm1gICDEwCLcB/s200/logo-barcelona.jpg" width="200" /></a>The next OpenStack Summit takes place in Bacelona (Spain) in October (25.-28.10.2016). The "Vote for Presentations" period started on 26.07.2016. All proposals are now up for community votes. The period will end August 8th at 11:59pm PDT (August 9th at 8:59am CEST).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have submitted this time two proposals:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>OpenStack and Ceph @ Converged Microservers</i></b> - On the Austin Summit the Ceph Community and WDLabs presented about running a 4 Petabyte Ceph cluster on ethernet attached Converged Microserver He8 drives. WDLabs provided access to early production devices for key customers for early adoption and feedback. This talk will provide insight into our experience with running a Ceph cluster on these devices as a storage provider for our OpenStack environment.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Vanilla or distributions: How do they differentiate?</i></b> - If it comes to OpenStack there is always the question: vanilla or a distribution. You have the agony of choice, it will highly depend on your usecase and organization. We will take a look behind the curtain of the OpenStack products. What should you know about the offerings? Is there anything you may should evaluate before you choose a solution? There is more to take a look at than only the OpenStack product itself if you include also e.g. KVM and Ceph. What about the base distributions and support?</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This period the voting process changed slightly. Based on community feedback, unique URLs to proposals are no longer available. So if you would like to vote for these talks, you have to search for them (e.g. use the title from above or search for "Al-Gaaf"). As always: every vote is highly welcome. I recommend also to search for "Ceph" or what ever topic your are interested in. You find the voting page <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/vote-for-speakers/" target="_blank">here</a> with all proposals and abstracts. I'm looking forward to see if and which of these talks will be selected.</div>

Barcelona (Spain) will be the venue for the next OpenStack Summit this October (25.-28.10.2016). The "Call for Speakers" period started. You can submit your presentation here. The deadline to fill your application is July 13, 2016 at 11:59 pm (PDT) / July 14 8:59 CEST.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In May there was a long <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2016-May/thread.html#1503" target="_blank">discussion</a> in the community about changing the selection process for the presentations, especially about if there should be a voting at all. The process changed slightly compared to Austin, checkout the current selection <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/call-for-presentations/selection-process" target="_blank">process</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tomorrow the German OpenStack Days 2016 (<a href="https://openstack-tage.de/" target="_blank">Deutsche OpenStack Tage</a>) will start in Cologne. I will give a talk on Ceph and OpenStack about "<a href="https://openstack-tage.de/sessions/openstack-at-99-999-availability-with-ceph-en/" target="_blank">OpenStack at 99,999% availability with Ceph</a>".</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems the event is already sold out completely, but as far as I know the presentations (mostly conducted in German) will be recorded and available after the conference. If you have already a ticket, have a interesting OpenStack conference in Cologne!</div>
