    OpenStack Community Newsletter — June 8


    Highlights of the week


      The results of Bug Triage Day are in
      <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/bug-triage-day-results/>

Nova has more bugs than all the other core projects combined, and the
most slack to clean up. We went from 237 “New” bugs at the beginning of
the day and down to 42, a completion rate of 82%. In the mean time we
managed to close permanently 86 open bugs over a total of 627 [more,
with charts

      Zuul: a Pipelining Trunk Gating System <http://amo-probos.org/post/14>

The OpenStack Infra team has released a new tool to improve the trunk
gating system. Zuul is a program that performs speculative execution of
tests.  By constructing a virtual queue of changes based on the order of
their approval, it runs jobs in parallel assuming they will all be
successful.  If any of them fail, then any jobs that were run based on
the assumption they succeeded are re-run without the problematic changes
included.  This means that in the best case, as many changes can be
tested and merged in parallel as computing resources will allow for
testing.  And of course, with cloud computing, that isn’t much of a hurdle.
