OpenSVC is a GPLv2 project automating the low-level operations needed 1/ to bring up system resources (virtual machine container, ip, disk groups, filesystem mounts, application launchers) on a node and 2/ to replicate data to secondary nodes (in local or remote sites). OpenSVC can be coupled to a tiers heartbeat daemon to form a full failover clustering stack. OpenSVC offers a simple service start/stop/status/sync* command line interface. OpenSVC can be deployed to drive all types of service on all major operating systems, and drive best-of-breed replication strategies available on users' sites : rsync+snap, zfs, netapp, emc, drbd. Generalized usage of OpenSVC brings easy group-actions in an heterogeneous datacenter, like those needed for disaster recovery plan activation, or a more localized outage. The FreeBSD port is fresh and done by newcomers in this world, so Community comments are welcome, particularly on the following topics: 1/ 'tbz' packaging. 2/ Only zfs pools are supported as "disk group" resources. Support for GEOM disk aggregations might be added, if there is Community interest. 3/ Jail support. OpenSVC does not care about provisioning, but I hope hope I got the start/stop stuff right. 4/ Opensvc startup script. 5/ The port has been done on FreeBSD 8. Feedback on what breaks on older release is welcome. More information on http://www.opensvc.com/ Cheers, -- Christophe Varoqui OpenSVC From owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jun 16 20:03:22 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: announce@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4A18B1065674 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:03:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gnn@freebsd.org) Received: from vps.hungerhost.com (vps.hungerhost.com [216.38.53.176]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F6AB8FC20 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:03:21 +0000 (UTC) Received: from smtp.hudson-trading.com ([209.249.190.9] helo=gnnmac.hudson-trading.com) by vps.hungerhost.com with esmtpa (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1OOxrt-0001Zg-Hh for announce@freebsd.org; Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:01:46 -0400 From: George Neville-Neil Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:01:42 -0400 Message-Id: <2C41EFC3-5DC5-4A6A-BE7D-734CD196AD67@freebsd.org> To: announce@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1081) X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1081) X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - vps.hungerhost.com X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - freebsd.org X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [47 12] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - freebsd.org X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: X-Mailman-Approved-At: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 21:35:16 +0000 Cc: Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] EuroBSDCon 2010 Call for Papers...

Best, George EuroBSDCon 2010 - Call for Papers 9th European BSD Conference October 8 - 10, 2010 Karlsruhe, Germany http://2010.eurobsdcon.org/ Introduction The European BSD Community will meet again this year for the ninth conference in the EuroBSDCon series. This is a great opportunity to present new ideas to the community, inform your fellow BSD enthusiasts about the newest developments and work for the continued success of your favorite operating system. The two day conference program (October 9 - 10) will be preceeded by a tutorial day (Oct 8). Call for Papers We are inviting contributions on all areas relating to the BSD family of operating systems, e.g. applications, architecture, implementation, administration and security of *BSD operating systems ranging from embedded systems to mainframes. Investigations on economic aspects regarding the operation of BSD systems are also welcome. Prospective authors of contributions to the technical program are requested to submit an abstract via http://2010.eurobsdcon.org/. Presentations should last about 40 minutes including time for questions from the audience. Authors of accepted submissions should provide a full paper for publication in the conference proceedings and give permission to the organizers to publish the results in the printed proceedings and on the conference web site at www.eurobsdcon.org. Call for Tutorial Proposals Selected tutorials will be offered on the day before the conference. If you are interested in presenting a tutorial, please submit your suggestion on the conference website using the same mechanism as for submitting a paper. Please indicate if this would be a half- or full-day tutorial. Sponsorship Opportunities We are seeking companies or institutions to sponsor various elements of the conference in order to keep delegate fees as low as possible. Sponsorship opportunities include: paying for a speaker's travel or accommodation; providing bursaries for delegates who cannot pay the conference fee themselves; sponsoring the social event or the printing of proceedings. Please see the conference website for details. Important Dates Final abstract deadline: July 6th 2010 Final tutorial deadline: July 6th Final papers due: September 1st Tutorial day: October 8th Conference: October 9 - 10 For more, see http://2010.eurobsdcon.org/
