OpenStack's Not-crumbling Infrastructure. The March 2015 OpenStack L.A. Meetup.

Here are the details for the March 2015 OpenStack L.A. Meetup. And I think it's going to be a good one. Don't miss it!

Presentation Abstract:

"OpenStack's Not-crumbling Infrastructure"

Since the early days of OpenStack, the project has valued automated testing and code review. From an early scale of just a handful of developers and tens of patches per day to nearly 1,000 active developers and hundreds of patches per day, OpenStack's infrastructure has scaled along with the project in amazing ways.

We'll talk about how patches work their way through the tubes and into OpenStack. We'll also discuss how the OpenStack "infra" team dogfoods OpenStack, by utilizing a hybrid cloud approach to reliably run numerous tests on hundreds of patches every day. In addition, I'll show how OpenStack's infrastructure is one of the few completely open source operations environments where anyone involved with the project can make changes to the infrastructure. Finally, we'll discuss a bit about how you can duplicate this infrastructure and why you might want to do that.

Most recently Clint has been focusing on growing and maintaining OpenStack's infrastructure.

Clint is an avid open source advocate, an Ubuntu Core Developer and Debian Developer, as well as an active member of the MySQL community. Clint worked on scalable web architectures at various companies and as a consultant before joining Canonical to work on Ubuntu Server.
