OpenStack Infrastructure March 2014 Bug Day

Today the OpenStack Infrastructure team hosted their third bug day of the cycle. First, I created our etherpad: cibugreview-march2014 (see etherpad from past bug days on the wiki at: InfraTeam#Bugs) Then I run my simple infra_bugday.py script and populate the etherpad. Then I grab the bug stats from launchpad and copy them into the pad […]

On Monday, March 3rd, we kicked off the TripleO (“OpenStack on OpenStack” ) mid-cycle meetup at the HP offices in Sunnyvale, California.

OpenStack Infrastructure February 2014 Bug Day

The OpenStack Infrastructure team hosted our last bug day back in December. Since then, elastic-recheck has become a pretty big deal and the community has had to become more diligent about rechecking against actual bugs in the infrastructure, meaning our bug tracker has been much more active! In general, the team has been doing a […]

OpenStack Infrastructure December Bug Day

When I joined the OpenStack Infrastructure team this year one of my first challenges was going through the list of bugs, during which time I discovered that some of the bugs were out-dated. Enter Bug Days! The process for our bug days has evolved over time, starting quite manual but I’ve since automated as much […]
