This is part of a blog series highlighting awesome things in software engineering because not everything has to be depressing, about bugs, vulnerabilities, outages or deadlines. If you’d like to collaborate and write about awesome things in software ... [More] engineering too, let’s chat: reach out on Twitter or LinkedIn. What’s this blog series about ? Between you and me, software engineering isn’t always fun. You’re not always working on what you like. [Less]

SK telecom's most recent experiments show how low latency can improve safety. The post 5G and the really smart self-driving car appeared first on OpenStack Superuser.

So I got an idea recently… Let’s rebrand Ansible Run Analysis to ARA records Ansible. If you’d like to review and comment on the code change, you can do so here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/547245/. Why ? I watched the last season of Sillicon ... [More] Valley recently. The series, while exaggerated, provides a humorous look at the world of startups. I don’t have any plans on creating a startup but I love that it makes you think about things like needing a clever name or how you would do a proper “elevator” pitch to get funding. [Less]

Whitestack's Gianpietro Lavado reports on the latest series of tests held by global experts. The post Getting Network Function Virtualization ready for prime time: Inside the standards tests appeared first on OpenStack Superuser.

The current amount of released data is more than 1,400 terabytes, here's what's behind it. The post Inside CERN’s Open Data portal appeared first on OpenStack Superuser.

Most TC activity has either been in preparation for the PTG or stalling to avoid starting something that won't be finished before the PTG. But a few discussions to point at. When's the Next PTG? Last Tuesday evening had a brief discussion asking when ... [More] (and where) the next PTG will be, after Dublin. The answer? We don't know yet. It will likely come up in Dublin. Base Services and Eventlet A question about base services led to discussion about ways to technically and socially avoid the use of eventlet. Notable was the observation that we continue to have new projects that adopt patterns established in Nova that while perfectly workable are no longer considered ideal. There's some work to do to make sure we provide a bit more guidance. Naming for S Release Rocky is starting, so it is time to be thinking about naming for S. Berlin is the geographic location that will be the source for names beginning with "S". Python 3.6 Most of Friday was devoted to Python 3.6. Many distros are headed that way and OpenStack CI is currently 2.7 and 3.5. TC Topics at the PTG A reminder that there is an etherpad for TC topics at the PTG. Because of the PTG there won't be a TC Report next week, but I will endeavor to write up standalone reports of the discussions started by that etherpad. Those discussion will hopefully grant a bit more vigor, drive, and context to the TC Report, which has wandered a bit of late. [Less]
