Language Packs● What languages are supported?● Intent is to support existing PaaS standards

13

Project Designations● Core - official projects● Incubated - projects on an official track to become core

projects (pursuing incubation as of 2 weeks ago)● Library - projects are directly or indirectly consumed by

Core projects● Gated - gate mechanism that protects the core projects

branches from regressive changes● Supporting - additional projects that are deemed

necessary in producing the other official projects● Related – unofficial projects have chosen to associate

themselves with OpenStack

14

It's Related● If Solum applied for Incubation status today, they would

qualify● Philosophically, the OpenStack Technical Committee is

opposed to incubating everything● OSTC would prefer to have a thriving community of

Related projects● Seems to be encouraging projects to withdraw from

Incubation and apply for Related status

● Solum's project status will be evolving “real time”

Release “Schedule”When can we see it?

When can we play with it?

Wait for M1 releasehttps://github.com/stackforge/solumhttps://solum.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started/index.html

Hey, wait a second...

Aren't you an OpenShift guy?

17

It takes a community

So what is this Docker?

An open source project to pack, ship and run any application as a lightweight container

Stick around for a Docker workshop...
