Participating¶
Mailing List¶
The OpenStack community, including operators, is using one unified mailing list for discussions about the project and platform. By joining the mailing list you can connect with fellow operators and users, while also follow ongoing discussions about the development of OpenStack.
Nota
To get more operator attention, prepend “[ops]” to your email subject lines.
More generic information about mailing lists can be found in the Communication page’s Mailing Lists (ML) section.
Matrix Room¶
The OpenStack Operator community is currently utilizing Matrix as their chat platform for more synchronous discussions, when possible.
If you already have a Matrix account, head to the OpenStack Ops Matrix room to chat with fellow operators.
The OpenDev and Zuul communities also use Matrix for their daily chat, you can find detailed documentation on how to create an account and start using Matrix in the Zuul documentation
If you are still in the old, and now unused, #openstack-operators channel on OFTC IRC please join the above Matrix room instead.
However, OpenStack developer teams are still utilizing IRC to varying extent. If you would like to get in touch with a project team on the chat platform, please find some more generic information about IRC channels in the IRC Channels section of the IRC page.
In the Set Up IRC section of this guide, there are instructions on how to set up a desktop client and register your irc nickname so that you can join these channels.
Ops Radio Hour¶
This is a monthly call series in a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of deploying and managing OpenStack environments.
Meet Ups¶
Operators” Meetups give people who run clouds a place to congregate, swap best practices, ideas and give feedback. It has a mostly round table/working/discussion session feel, with only a small number of presentations, with the following aims:
Gather feedback on the issues that come up in running OpenStack and work to communicate this throughout the community
Create a forum in which to share best practices and architectures between interested parties
Increase constructive, proactive involvement from those running clouds
These meetups are organized and facilitated by volunteers among the operators community. If you don’t see one being planned, please feel welcomed and encouraged to propose one on any of the above mentioned communication channels.
There are other events relevant to operators besides just the meetup, Forum and the rest of the Open Infrastructure Summit
