We, the Dell OpenStack team, think we’ve got everything ready for people to start hacking on Essex deployments today.  The event has been growing in size and scope.  For example, Fedora is also spending the day focused on Essex deployments.

Our plan is to have a coordination & training session at the top of every hour.  We’ll record the sessions so that you can pickup the thread even if you miss some of the session.  We’re using the Crowbar Github for event details.

We’ve made substantial progress in the last week on code that’s shifting: Ubuntu 12.04 support and getting the base Essex 4 operational.  I’ve also spun ISOs to help with the deploy – unlike previous versions, this one is just Crowbar core.  You’ll need to use the new barclamp import feature to add the OpenStack bits because we’re expecting those to change more frequently.
