Here are the highlights. + +1) We completed work on our Horizon dashboard. It is now possible to perform + all languagepack and app operations through the dashboard. I would like to + acknowledge and thank Swati Dewan and Zhu Rong for spearheading this work. + +2) We continued building and experimenting with different options for doing app builds + and deployments. In Mitaka cycle we had worked on a feature that enabled Solum to + perform app deployments in tandem with existing CI systems such as Jenkins that can + do app builds. + In Newton cycle following new ideas were investigated: + - Building applications as VM images and deploying such images (thanks Erik Schilling) + - Building applications as Unikernels (thanks shivaSR, mvle) + - Building applications as Docker containers and deploying to VMs (CoreOS) (thanks Wei Cao) + We also completed the feature that enables application build and deploy upon receiving github + webhook triggers by Solum. + + You can find screencasts demonstrating these features on Solum wiki + (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Solum), under "Resources" section. + +3) We gained several new contributors, some of whom are on their way to becoming cores. + +For the Ocata cycle, some of the ideas that we can pursue together include: +- Making it easy for operators to configure and use different build and deployment options +- Adding support to deploy applications to container orchestration systems +- Support for using public Docker images, in addition to Solum languagepacks, to build + application images +Along with these, we need to keep working and improving our documentation, test coverage, +and installation tooling. (If you are interested in helping out with any of these, +please find us on Solum IRC channel (#solum on chat.freenode.net)). + +Best Regards, +Devdatta Kulkarni
