My abstract got accepted!!
So now I need to figure out if it is even practical to get through the Visa process for China. Oh, and to create some content to share. Heh.

OpenStack Denver PTG – Sept 2018 – Notetaking
I take notes, especially in big meetings, as a way to keep my attention on the meeting (and avoid falling asleep). Sometimes it comes in handy, as my memory isn’t great anyway. Sometimes the benefit is questionable, as my notes might not make sense to anyone else, especially if they aren’t in an OpenStack session.
I took the majority of the notes for the Monasca sessions at the Denver 2018 OpenStack Program Teams Gathering. Take a look – https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/monasca-ptg-stein – and I did the same last time around – https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/monasca-ptg-rocky .
As a sample, I also took notes for the parts of the OpenStack-Helm sessions that I was interested in. I didn’t slap them in to the OS-Helm etherpad as I am just peripherally part of the team and didn’t want to break their flow. But I’m including them below in raw format just for backup/reference.
OpEd: OpenStack wishes for Monasca
This is my first attempt at an editorial post for my blog. I usually just sprinkle in my opinion in whatever I’m writing, but you can see on this site I don’t blog much anyway. But this subject was prompted by a conversation in the Monasca IRC meeting this week (http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/monasca/2018/monasca.2018-09-05-15.00.log.html) so I thought I’d take a stab at it.
In some ways, this is my wishlist for Monasca and how I would like to see the project get better. In some ways, it is a bit of a gripe about Telemetry.
Summary: better advertizing of ‘official’ projects, small but active projects can still be useful, and project consolidation.
OpenStack Dublin PTG – Feb 2018 – Thoughts on Wed to Fri
Continuing my thoughts and experience writing about the OpenStack PTG in Dublin, Ireland. Part 1 can be read at OpenStack Dublin PTG – Feb 2018 – Thoughts on First Two Days.
Wednesday through Friday were set aside as focused team work days. As part of the Monasca team (wiki), we really only had enough agenda for two days, and knowing that many of the attendees (including me) had planned to only stay through Thursday. They were two good days of discussion and planning, shortened slightly by the weather (see the next blog post for more on that.
OpenStack Dublin PTG – Feb 2018 – Thoughts on First Two Days
I attended my first PTG (Project Teams Gathering https://www.openstack.org/ptg) this year in Dublin Ireland from February 24 to March 2. I’ve been working on OpenStack code (and code that uses it or packages and installs it) for a few years now, and recently was made a Monasca Core Reviewer. I attended the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, which was quite a different experience (should blog about that some time – I have lots of notes I could dig up).
The PTG is different from the Summits. This was only the third one that has been held, and the first I’d attended. I had a bit of a sense of what to expect from the meetings after attending some of the developer sessions at the Vancouver Summit, and after the virtual mid-cycle meeting we had for Monasca last year. But the format was still a bit challenging.
Read below for my take on the first two days, and look for other posts about the rest of the week and weather/travel.
