Moin, durandom from the providers team here, guiding you through the vast construction site of ManageIQ.

Last year has been pretty exciting and eventful for ManageIQ! If you’re new to the community, or if you just want a refresher, let me be your guide and summarize the cool progress we made throughout 2016.

Hi! syncrou here to continue our discussions as to what happened in the ManageIQ world last week. As the hours passed by and minutes zipped on, we all thought that a week couldn’t possibly justify a blog post. Au contraire, this post is about our ability to manage all the things!

Welcome to the first sprint review of 2017! It was a relatively succinct meeting, so I’ll try to keep this short and sweet. First, a couple of news items in case you missed them:

Happy New Year! We’re starting off 2017 with a notable change in the ManageIQ process. In an effort to become more agile, and allow more flexibility in planning and scheduling, we will be switching from 3-week Sprints to 2-week Sprints.

As the end of 2016 grew closer, and the Winter Solstice brought with it either the longest night or shortest night, depending on which hemisphere you frequent, ManageIQ cut its latest release Euwe. You can download it here or clone it from Github here Happy New Year!

We’re delighted to announce the release of ManageIQ Euwe! This fifth ManageIQ release is named after Dutch chess Grandmaster Max Euwe.

Two improved pull requests for Elven-kings under the sky,
Three fixed for Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Two new for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One deleted for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of ManageIQ where the heisenbugs lie.
One blog post to rule them all, One blog post to find them,
One blog post to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the land of ManageIQ where the heisenbugs lie.

Chris here, welcoming you to another edition of Last Week in ManageIQ! It’s a balmy 0° here in Minnesota, USA - that’s about -18° Celsius, according to local authorities. With the wind chill making it -20° (-29°C), I’m thinking a look back at all the great work done on ManageIQ for the past week is just what we need to keep warm on this fine winter day!

Hello and welcome to the final sprint review of 2016! During this sprint, we released RC2 for Euwe as well as Darga-5. We are on track for Euwe GA in the upcoming week, after which we’ll look forward to fleshing out the Fine release in 2017.
