Informal meeting of VyOS users in Barcelona

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 19:10:05 GMT

If you are in Barcelona this October, we have some news for you.

There is a plan to organize an informal meeting of VyOS users and all interested in open source routing, roughly at the same time as VMworld and the OpenStack Summit.

The current idea is October the 17th at 19-00 for VMWorld week

and on 24th 19-00 on OpenStack Summit week, though it's not set in stone yet

Who's in charge

Yuriy Andamasov (syncer on #vyos) is the initiator and the primary contact.

On behalf of Sentrium Yuriy and Santiago will take care about administrative questions.

Note: None of the maintainers planning to attend, so if you want to discuss specific issues with the code and contributing to it, it's likely not the best place to ask.

Yuriy is one of VyOS infrastructure admins and the community manager, so feel free to discuss these issues with him. If you want to contribute to VyOS but don't know where to start, feel free to ask him and he can suggest some tasks to work on too.

What's planned

A walk around Barcelona places and have informal talks about VyOS, virtualization, networking and other IT and non-IT subjects.

There is no plan to have a formal meeting with talks prepared in advance or anything else at this time, though if there is an interest in it, perhaps it's possible to arrange it.
The idea is for VyOS users and everyone interested in VyOS and open source routing in general, to come together and socialize over sightseeing/food/etc. in great city Barcelona

Hello, Community!

We have some great news to share!

As some of you may already know, we are planning to run virtual meeting event for VyOS devs and users in near future.

So in case you want to participate, just fill up this form and of course join us on our dev. portal to stay in touch.

May admit that this summer is productive in all aspects:

Tremendous work towards VyOS 1.2 done and we going to present 1.2.0 beta 2 in some weeks! Thanks, to our super team!

We revived OVA distribution of VyOS some months ago and continued work in the direction of extensive VMWare Platform support; we also plan to deliver supported images for all other standard hypervisors like KVM, MS Hyper-V and VyOS on clouds markets for AWS, Azure, GCE.

VyOS is now available on SolidRun ClearFog device, credits for this great work to UnicronNL, this opens new applications for VyOS.

Ansible starting from version 2.2 able to configure VyOS, so if you using Ansible, give it a try! We on other hand working on standalone management library for Python.

We receive many requests regarding GUI, and yes we are listening to them. Last four months we dedicated a lot of time to studies regarding possible ways of delivery such UI. Apart from technical challenges, there are other problems to take into account(like service providers don't want GUI, while SMBs and ROBOs show high demand). We are working to bring satisfaction to all users without sacrifices from any side. So basically yes, it will be GUI in near future, but there are not ETAs for now.

We believe that affordable open source routing platform and NFV should be accessible to everyone out there
