Top Level Project Updates

Cloudstack

Mike MacIsaac indicated that the group is going over a document to agree on a set of RESTful APIs that systems can adhere to. There is some alignment with with Velocity and ADP on this API, but the existing IBM z/VM Cloud Connector work isn’t aligned at the moment. There was discussion on the OpenStack upstream driver being based on the IBM z/VM Cloud Connector, which is making it difficult for that team to align to the RESTful API this group is being developed.

Internship

US Interships have wrapped up and EU has hit the midterm point, Bob Dahlberg has indicated that he’s working to get those closed out. Intern backpacks are getting ready to be ordered as well. Bob and John will work on promotion of the interns work.

ADE

John indicated that the project is working to get awareness amongst Linux system adminstrators.
