Last week, the package python-django15 was approved. It's a Django package to be installed in parallel to e.g python-django. Once you installed it, you can not use it directly.
For example for python-django-horizon aka. OpenStack Dashboard I'd change the django.wsgi from github to
import logging
import os
import …During the OpenStack Icehouse development cycle, we gained in Horizon the ability to use additional python packages by simply dropping in a file in the openstack_dashboard/enabled dir.
In the rest of the article, I'll propose a method to customize the look and feel, without breaking during package updates …
For my own blog, I recently deprecated wordpress, in favor of using pelican. The package was recently added to Fedora. It's quite simple and does not require php, mysql, and a memcached running on a webserver.
In the past, the number of attempts to get into this host increased significantly …
From my very personal view on the past OpenStack summit in Hong Kong, it has been a good and productive summit. Luckily, both of my sessions were accepted:
The first session was about how to separate Horizon and OpenStack Dashboard. It is very little known …
Lately, I got a shiny new Wandboard Quad into my fingers, and it's "enabled hardware" on Fedora 20. I took a TC4 test build from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5896895:
wget http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6895/5896895/Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-20-Alpha-TC4-sda.raw.xz xzcat Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-20-Alpha-TC4-sda.raw.xz | sudo …
Sadly, I won't make it to the new Fedora users and developers conference Flock this time. Back in may, I proposed an OpenStack testing session.
The more I'm delighted, that we have Kashyap Chamarthy, who will leading the session. He also added some news around the event to his blog …
As you might heard, we at Fedora had FUDCons (Fedora Users and Developers conference), which is now replaced by a conference named Flock. The first one will be held in Charleston, South Carolina between Aug. 9th and 12th. 2013. Coming there is a unique chance this year, to meet many …
Based on the idea or proposal of Kieran Spear, I'll document here, what has to be done, if one needs to customize Horizon (for whatever reason).
Let's say, one needs to create a corporate theme, named horizon_bigcorp. Then we first need to change local_settings.py. In Fedora and …
Lately, I'm getting involved into developing OpenStack, especially it's dashboard.
Many developers recommend using devstack to work on OpenStack. For some reasons, I can't recommend that for Dashboard. My colleague Dan Berrange has an article with all dirty details.
Good news is, at least for OpenStack's dashboard, devstack is not …
Currently, I'm using Django to develop some internally used applications. For one of them, I had to use a SSL connection to access a MySQL database. As development environment, I'm using Fedora 17, of course.
During that process, I ran into two bugs:
MySQL 5.5 doesn't export HAVE_OPENSSL …
