So Donnie like what is the big deal about OpenStack Summit?

Open Stack Summit's are super important because they provide an opportunity for the Global OpenStack community to come together and even more importantly Summit's are synchronized with the 6 month product release cycle of OpenStack. So be sure to join us to hear what's new in the Ocata release of OpenStack.

Are you interested and Learning Ansible to build an OS Cloud? (um, if not then maybe this isn't the right User Group for you.. IJS).

Some time ago the User Group made a decision to use the configuration management tool Ansible to build and manage our OpenStack Community Cloud. We have been talking about doing it for some time and now we are finally going to start doing it. To make sure all members are on the same page. We are all going to take an Ansible class being offered by Udemy to learn Ansible. Once we have a handle on the basics of Ansible we are going to use Ansible to redploy the OpenStack community cloud.

If you are interested in participating then please be sure to purchase the following class on Udemy and the Ansible book by Jeff Gerling (PS there is a sale on the Udemy class this week for only $10)

See you Wednesday!
