We just finished up the Sprint 12 demo, ended September 9.
We’re happy to announce the preliminary agenda for the upcoming ManageIQ Design Summit, a 2-day event on October 7 & 8 in Montvale, NJ. Be sure to RSVP soon, as space is very limited. As mentioned in the title, it’s a small intimate gathering of cloud experts, those interested in pushing the limits of ManageIQ and setting the roadmap for development. If you’re a ManageIQ user who wants to learn how to make the most of its automation and orchestration capabilities, then there will be plenty for you, too:
We are thrilled to announce that Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) has joined the ManageIQ team.
If you’d like to volunteer to put together the upcoming ManageIQ Design Summit, let it be known in the comments section of this blog post. We will start having weekly meetings for the purpose of putting together the agenda, and we need volunteers to review abstracts and potential speakers.
The votes are in, and “Botvinnik” is the winner! In planning for Botvinnik (which we’ll sometimes shorten to “bot”) we’re now accepting blueprints for proposed features. Just submit your blueprint and make sure to categorize it properly. Next, you’ll need to propose an abstract for the ManageIQ Design Summit. Make sure to put your proposal in the Abstracts category.
As we wind down the Anand release cycle, the next one is winding up: a vote to determine the next release name, a call for feature blueprints, and a call for participation for the very first ManageIQ Design Summit.
Now that the Anand release is almost out the door, it’s the right time to turn our attention to the next release. Since we’re going alphabetically by chess world champions, we have a few choices:
Things have been rolling along here at the ManageIQ community, and we’re proud to announce that the first release candidate is now ready. The first release for ManageIQ is called “Anand”, named after world champion chess player Viswanathan Anand.
To download a release candidate build of Anand, proceed to the download page. To get the source for Anand, see the tagged GitHub repo.
To get an idea of what is included in Anand, see the results of the previous sprint. To see what is coming next, take a look at the roadmap.
Enjoy! Remember, if you find any issues, please report them.
