I'm looking forward to presenting, along with Peter Boros, Jim Cooley and Vipul Sabhaya, at the Percona Live Conference the week of April 22nd where I will be giving two talks about the management of MySQL using Chef (http://www.percona.com/live/mysql-conference-2013/sessions/managing-mysql-chef 24 April 4:30pm - 5:20pm @ Ballroom A) and Red Dwarf, the Openstack project that HPCS is using for DBaaS (http://www.percona.com/live/mysql-conference-2013/sessions/reddwarf-database-service-openstack-project 25 April 11:00am - 11:50am @ Ballroom C).

I wanted to do a Chef talk, despite my on-again, off-again love/hate relationship with Chef (AKA learning process) because for the past year or so, I

Canonical has just announced that the Ubuntu Developer Summit will no longer be face to face and every six months. Instead it will be entirely online and virtual, using Google Hangouts. (Here is the announcement.)

On the surface, this seems like a good idea: It's cheaper monetarily, it appears to open things up to people who are unable to travel, and it makes it easier to make complete records.

However, I think it's a bad idea, for several interrelated reasons.

Some decision making needs face-time to happen. For whatever reasons, internet-only communication is not enough for a good enough "meeting of the minds" for sticky or subtle engineering and design decisionmaking.

FOSDEM 13 is now over, I am on my way home and I would like to share some thoughts sparkled by the intense atmosphere that I have lived in these two days in Brussels. I have to admit, I was tempted to skip FOSDEM this year: the last 3 weeks have been crazily busy and I travelled a lot, leaving my family alone for too long. But now I am glad I made the effort.

(edit) mysql, HP, OpenStack

July marks my sixth month working on the OpenStack project for HP. Over the past few years I have had people ask me about my journey to where I am now, especially students working on the Drizzle project. So I decided to write it today.

Back in 2007 I worked as a freelancer developing PHP code, doing DBA work and administering Linux systems. One of my biggest clients was an online magazine called The First Post, I was doing so much work for them they hired me as a full time employee under the title Technical Architect. We made great strides whilst working there and I even got the site running from a MySQL Cluster installation.

Towards the end of 2007 the magazine was in financial difficulty and there was a real risk of everyone losing their jobs over Christmas. As luck would have it one of our biggest fans was a guy called Felix Dennis who owns a magazine empire called Dennis

OpenStack's Jenkins Job Filler

(edit) OpenStack, jenkins

OpenStack comprises of many projects, all of which have code reviews via. Gerrit and every code review is tested with many tests on Jenkins. Whilst this is excellent for code quality this can get quite insane to manage. In fact at time of writing OpenStack's Jenkins server now has a shade under 300 jobs to manage, I don't know about you but I really don't want to be spending my days managing all of that. Often we need to make a small change to many jobs at the same time and human error occurs. In the last few weeks we developed and unveiled the CI team's solution to this: Jenkins Job Filler (aka. Jenkins Job Builder when I forget what we called it).

The initial version of Jenkins Job Filler was written in a combination of Ruby and Puppet scripts but unfortunately it became unmanageable very quickly, it also required a Jenkins restart on every

After a bit of tweaking and improvements following feedback from various people the new changes to Jenkins and Gerrit are now live. The changes will also be rolled out onto Stackforge in the next 24 hours.

I've had a lot of great feedback in the few hours the changes have been live, many love it and some have suggestions for improvements. This is great, we know the look could use a bit of refining here and there. What makes this truly awesome is that the styles are kept in an OpenStack project with which anyone can file bugs or send patches up to Gerrit.

To modify the styles simply grab the openstack-ci-puppet repo and look in the Gerrit and Jenkins modules for the files. If you wish to file a bug,

I've seen recent attempts at blog posts to show how to get started at hacking on an OpenStack project. Unfortunately they seem to have over-complicated the issue for new users. As part of the Core Infrastructure team it is my job to make submitting, reviewing and merging code easier for developers. This includes documenting that process, so here goes :)

You need a Launchpad account and need to be joined to the Openstack team. You can also join the team of one of the many subprojects if you want to. Make sure Launchpad has your SSH key, Gerrit (the code review system) uses this.

Gerrit is a fantastic tool for performing code reviews and automating many of the tasks which can become quite complex. Unfortunately its default style is not the most attractive thing to look at all day. Yesterday I was tasked with skinning Gerrit to make it more in-line with Openstack. This was not as easy a task as I first anticipated, mostly down to not having the ability to edit the HTML layout very much without editing Gerrit's source.

The result isn't perfect but hopefully a notable improvement which will be coming to an Openstack review site near you soon. Here is the before and after shots:

In 2008 my career took a sudden unexpected turn into the world of MySQL when I was offered a job at Sun. Since then MySQL and it's forks have been a big part of my life. The whole community (I mean the people, not the companies) around MySQL are part of what really drove me.

Unfortunately to me something has changed. I am not exactly sure what it is, but I am sure it is not just me because others have expressed it in conversation too. I wasn't enjoying things as much as I used to and for several reasons, some related to this, I have been quite ill.

Recently I was approached by HP's new cloud division who wanted me to work on OpenStack. It seemed the perfect opportunity to start something new inside a new vibrant community. That is not to say I have anything against

Red Hat’s $136m acquisition of open source storage vendor Gluster marks Red Hat’s biggest buy since JBoss and starts the fourth quarter with a very intersting deal. The acquisition is definitely good for Red Hat since it bolsters its Cloud Forms IaaS and OpenShift PaaS technology and strategy with storage, which is often the starting point for enterprise and service provider cloud computing deployments. The acquisition also gives Red Hat another weapon in its fight against VMware, Microsoft and others, including OpenStack, of which Gluster is a member (more on that further down). The deal is also good for Gluster given the sizeable price Red Hat is paying for the provider of open source, software-based, scale-out storage for unstructured data and also as validation of both open source and software in

I've been thinking a bunch about email and mailing lists recently... about how to deal with them, how to follow the ones that are important but not get drowned in a sea of email noise. I have a non-tech email account which is where friends mail me personally and where I handle theatre-related stuff. I do not receive a stupid amount of email on this account, and I am almost always interested in reading the messages that arrive there. So on my inaugust.com email address, I've been considering unsubscribing from all mailing lists and setting both Launchpad and github to stop emailing me most things.

For Launchpad and github, most things I care about have status pages of some sort: lists of bugs or branches I need to attend to or whatnot. I really don't need to get an email every time someone files a bug - it's noise.

Mailing lists are the trickier one, because so many open source projects are

I chatted today about VMware's Cloud Foundry with Roger Bodamer, the EVP of products and technology at 10Gen. 10Gen's MongoDB is one of three back-ends (along with MySQL and Redis) supported from the start by Cloud Foundry.

If I understand Cloud Foundry and VMware's declared "Open PaaS" strategy, it should fill a gap in services. Suppose you are a developer who wants to loosen the bonds between your programs and the hardware they run on, for the sake of flexibility, fast ramp-up, or cost savings. Your choices are:

Rackspace has been busy over the last year, funding both the Drizzle project and the OpenStack project. I've been lucky enough to be involved in both, and I couldn't be more pleased and proud of the stuff that's come from both projects.

What about synergy though?

Well, it turns out that it's pretty easy to use Drizzle as your database for two of the three current main OpenStack components. Glance, the Image Registry and Nova the Cloud Computing Fabric Controller, both use SQLAlchemy to manage data that needs to go into a database.

There's one prerequisite you need to get up and running, and that's SQLAlchemy 7, which is currently in beta. SQLAlchemy 7 introduces a Drizzle dialect, which tells the ORM how to map properly to Drizzle datatypes and the like. Once you've installed SA7, it's as simple as creating a schema to stick data in and the changing the
