I want to start off by thanking everyone who joined us at the first working session in Vancouver, and those folks who have already started adding content to the app catalog. I was happy to see the enthusiasm and excitement, and am looking forward to working with all of you to build this into something that has a major impact on OpenStack adoption by making it easier for our end users to find and share the assets that run on our clouds.
The catalog: http://apps.openstack.org The repo: https://github.com/stackforge/apps-catalog The wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/App-Catalog Please join us via IRC at #openstack-app-catalog on freenode. Our initial core team is Christopher Aedo, Tom Fifield, Kevin Fox, Serg Melikyan. I’ve started a doodle poll to vote on the initial IRC meeting schedule, if you’re interested in helping improve and build up this catalog please vote for the day/time that works best and get involved! http://doodle.com/vf3husyn4bdkui8w At the summit we managed to get one planning session together. We captured that on etherpad[1], but I’d like to highlight here a few of the things we talked about working on together in the near term: -More information around asset dependencies (like clarifying requirements for Heat templates or Glance images for instance), potentially just by providing better guidance in what should be in the description and attributes sections. -With respect to the assets that are listed in the catalog, there’s a need to account for tagging, rating/scoring, and a way to have comments or a forum for each asset so potential users can interact outside of the gerrit review system. -Supporting more resource types (Sahara, Trove, Tosca, others) -Discuss using glance artifact repository as the backend rather than flat YAML files -REST API, enable searching/sorting, this would ease native integration with other projects -Federated catalog support (top level catalog including contents from sub-catalogs) - I’ll be working with the OpenStack infra team to get the server and CI set up in their environment (though that work will not impact the catalog as it stands today). There were a ton of great ideas that came up and it was clear there was WAY more to discuss than we could accomplish in one short session at the summit. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation here on the mailing list, on IRC, and in Tokyo as well!
