Report from our visit to Managua, Nicaragua

Holger Levsen — 2012-05-12T22:54:41

Buenas dias!

The following is a summary of some of my experiences in Managua and tiny
bits of Nicaragua late April / early May 2012. While I spent 14 days there
in total (as private vacation), for the last three days I was joined by
Gunnar Wolf (on DebConf12 funds), to make sure my impressions about the
local team, the status of the preparations and everything were correct.
Our visit also seems to have been very motivating to local team members,
whom I've seen really enthusiastic to welcome a huge Debian crowd for
the first DebConf in Central America in just a few weeks!

At the last DebConf12 IRC meeting I summarized it like this: "in very
short: my two weeks were great, I had a great vacation, met many
members of the localteam, which is way bigger then it seems on irc,
saw and liked UCA (Universidad Centroamericana, the DebConf12 venue),
had zillions of reunions (meetings, see schedule wiki page) and met
many nice people and a very hot & interesting country+capital with great
countryside."

The deadline for sponsored accomodation ends in three days - see
http://debconf12.debconf.org/dates.xhtml - so if you haven't registered
yet, hurry up, DebCamp starts in 49 days! :-)
(After that registration is still possible, but you will need to pay
for your costs yourself.)

Below is a thematically sorted list of impressions and advice written
by Gunnar, Norman, Leo, Felix and myself.

cheers,
Holger

The first impression was a nice barbecue with some local team members where it literally rained Mangos :-) And very
nice warm weather - it was evening after all...

Activities done
You can find an incomplete schedule of our activities on http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/PreConVisit -
basically we had many meeting with several UCA people, some people from the government, local free software groups
and individuals, with Navega (an ISP), who will hopefully become our uplink provider, attended FLISOL and also
enjoyed some nature, ie saw an active vulcano from very close, swam in a lagoon, ... and (Holger) learned some more
Spanish too! :-)

Sauna
thermal water sauna
certainly very important here, so high on the list!!1
the only place where it was really cool and refreshing: after you go inside, it's cooler outside for 10min.,
which is when you go inside again... 8-)
20km away in Tipitapa
has two pools as well, filled with hot water. very strange to go inside at first, but actually pretty nice.
Drinks are obviously available, food as well
opens at 5 AM, closes around 8 PM

Localteam rocks:
Up until recently only four people seemed involved, i.e. from watching IRC. We're happy to report that the
localteam consists instead of 15-25 people, of whom roughly 10 are very active (and hopefully soon more are active
on IRC & the lists as well.)
they are very dedicated and have distributed load
Even if some local team members claim they cannot speak English they speak better English than Holger's Spanish.

UCA (Universidad Centroamericana)
wide friendly, lots of shady space outside (some with power plugs), several extra/external food places,
accessible.
very nice auditoriums (excellent audio conditions), good (cool) hacklab, suitable server room with fiber
connections (which we can use) between the buildings
talkroom 1: http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120424_020_Sm.jpg.18.html
talkroom 2: http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120428_024_Sm.jpg.68.html
workshoproom: http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120424_026_Sm.jpg.24.html
hacklab: http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120424_010_Sm.jpg.8.html
map: http://media.debconf.org/dc12/map/Map_DC12_UCA.png
non smoking campus (just walk 50-100m and you can smoke almost everywhere outside...)
We are in good contact with the University, they are supportive and are looking forward to host us at DebConf12!

Customs, migration, etc.
We both arrived at Managua (MGA) airport.
You have to pay 10 US dollars at the immigration desk to enter the country
you can pay in cordobas (230 cordobas in early May) but they will not have change. (they have change in USD)
they will not take euros (but will escort you to an ATM where you can draw cordobas)
(if you spot some nonsense, you're right ;)
make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 more months after your *entry* date
if you need a visa, get one. if you're unsure about your status, contact visa< at >debconf.org
You have to provide the address for your hotel upon entry, or just write "Managua".
after picking up my backpack I was asked by some official where I was coming from, to which I replied (slightly
tired...) "Amsterdam" at which he looked in disbelief, so I corrected myself to "Panama" (which was the last leg of
my flights indeed), after which he let me pass.
Then my backpacks were scanned like all the others and I went out. There was no comment about my 2 laptops, 1
access point, a video camera and various other hardware. (Which I obviously brought privately, as this is what
computer professionals like me need to survive on a vacation... :)
From leaving the plane until I was outside the airport building it took me probably 23 minutes of which I had to
wait about 10 minutes in the queue to get my passport stamped and to pay those 10 USD.

Note: when you leave the country you will be handed the entry form again... you need to fill it out again, but
enter where you're leaving too... besides that leaving was uneventful.

General advice
if you are not used to direct strong sun light, you will get a sunburn in just a few hours. There are tons of
shadow spaces available in the city and on the campus, just remember to use them or protect yourself against the
sun. Sunblock cream is available in the supermarket in the mall close by.
bring light and wide clothing
light both as in weight as in color - avoid black t-shirts, and suits and jackets are just out of the question
:-)
bring umbrellas & hats
at 8 in the morning the sun is hot like at noon in Spain in summer, then the sun is directly above you for the
whole day until it gets dark in 30 minutes at around 6 in the evening. At night it cools down to 28 degrees Celsius
or so
umbrellas might also be useful because DebConf12 will probably experience a few hours of rain per day. (que
bien!! It cools down a bit.) In July it rains for a few hours every few days, so not much to worry about :)
bring sandals
if you wear socks in shoes, bring plenty of thin socks. and consider bringing some (very) open shoes
if you're a sandals or barefoot person, two pairs of socks are plenty. (one for each flight ;)
air conditioning does exist (basically everywhere) but is not brutal
use deodorants several times a day - you don't want to be the usual smelly foreigner
.ni is the safest country in Central America - still, don't walk around carrying laptops alone in the dark or do
other silly things. Be sensible!
and foremost, don't be afraid, the people are very friendly here, open, social and communicative. So you will
probably get comments and be talked at (in a friendly way). So, yes, you can go out to the streets, in fact, we
recommend you do ;-)
Finally, the local team will provide some maps outlining areas recommended to visit (and areas to be avoided at
night).
and, the civil war is over for roughly 20 years - if you thought otherwise, please go to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua#1990s_and_the_post-Sandinista_era ) and read about the current political
situation and history ;-p
the US Dollar is accepted currency everywhere but the exchange rate will vary
use cordobas for everyday things (buying food, drinks, t-shirts, etc.)
basic English is quite widely understood
I drank lots of tap water for two weeks and still feel fine ;-)
If you can, plan to spend some time before or after DebConf outside Managua. I'm quite sure you will not regret
it: http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120429_084_Sm.jpg.143.html

Moving around (and coming back to UCA)
Nicaragua does NOT use street names or numbers - You will always explain relative to a well-known point. UCA is
such a point.
Moving around or explaining locations in Nicaragua is hard for all non locals.
DebConf12 takes place at UCA (Universidad Centroamericana) and that area is also where the hotels are located.
There are several universities in Managua, but _only one_ of them is called "UNI", and that's the UNI
(Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería) and not the UCA.
And then the UNI has two buildings in the city (RUPAP and UNI Central), but "UNI Central" is right in front of
the UCA.
To add to this, there are also UNAN (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua) and UNA (Universidad Nacional
Agraria) and other universities. Just remember that you want to go to UCA.

Food at DebConf and in general
The people in charge of finding a catering provider are vegetarians - your needs will surely be covered
Nicaraguan food is carbohydrate-heavy:
Lots of rice, beans, corn in many many many many different presentations
Almost always accompanied by some meat (which you can opt out of easily)
NO spicy food
Food is very seldom spicy, although all kinds of hot peppers are available
Celiacs: there is lots of different corn-based food here.

Other food options in Managua
There are many bars and restaurants and other food places available around UCA but also around Bolonia
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=12.14255&mlon=-86.27564&zoom=17&layers=M)
Localteam has mapped many bars already and is in the process of uploading more and creating a DebConf12 specific
map with good places and areas to go. If you want to help with this, please contact felix< at >delattre.de

Pricing examples
a liter of beer in the closest bar to UCA: 44 cordobas, so roughly two dollars. If you don't want to share you
pay 1 USD per 12oz bottle (aka 0.3l)...
a liter of water: 10-12 cordobas (in kiosks)
dinning out: the cheapest is around 60 cordobas, and normal 200 cordobas

Pulperias & shopping centres
Pulperias are local small shops selling everything and which are everywhere.
A huge shopping centre is close to UCA:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=12.12809&mlon=-86.26468&zoom=16&layers=M

Taxis are a bit special...
Taxi prices are somewhat discretionary (not based on taxi meters), and being a foreigner will probably increase
the cost.
Taxi prices also vary according to the time, crossing half of the city should be 40 cordobas by day and 80 by
night. ask for the price in advance else some might try to charge you the same amount but in USD ;)
A taxi from the airport to the venue is $20 using the official taxis of the airport (yellow t-shirt), $10 using
an alternative taxi cooperative in front of the airport (blue t-shirts) or around $5 using the usual taxis (not
recommended for non Spanish-speaking people).
Do not expect any random taxi driver to understand English well - best try to go out with locals or Spanish-
speakers or work with your hands and feet
The localteam is trying to find a trusted cooperative to improve the situation for us.

Pictures at the airport
Starting at http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120507_020_Sm.jpg.248.html where Felix helpfully
explains that you cannot take hot sauce on a plane.
After that you'll see pics of taxi drivers with different shirt colors.
The claro shop is directly at the exit of the arrival area, if you want to buy some sim cards directly upon
arrival.
The red ATM is according to locals the one with the best rates. You'll find it by walking 30m from arrival to
departure, where you turn left, as if you would leave the country.

And finally, in July when you leave the airport in Managua (_into_ the country), remember what I said in the
beginning: this is the country where you need to go to a sauna to cool down! 8-)

Oh, and it will rain more in July than what we have perceived end of April / beginning of May (which was nothing).
I was told rain then+there means probably 1-3h (in total) per day where it simply rains, it it rains.

As you can see, wheather will be very important at DebConf12! 8-) Make sure you can cope with it, it's (rather
easily) doable and absolutly worth the fun!

We're looking forward to see you there and have a great DebConf together! Hopefully we sweat together while Wheezy
is frozen :-D

BitCoin and Debian?!?

[Draft] GR: diversity statement for the Debian Project

Francesca Ciceri — 2012-05-02T22:32:03

Dear Debian Developers,

A recent discussion [1] on Debian Women mailing list made me realize that
the Debian Project, the community behind the *Universal* Operating
System, doesn't have a diversity statement.
The *technical* part of the project is already commited to diversity: we
don't accept (in our main repository) licenses which discriminate for
persons, groups or fields of endeavor (DFSG, points 5. and 6.).
IMO is time for a similar statement also for the *community* part of the
project.

Below (between "----" lines) you'll find the draft of
the text to be voted. I'm not looking for seconds yet, but rather issues
in the proposed text. I'll call for seconds soon.

At the end of the mail, a couple of FAQ about the diversity statement, 
raised during the debate on -project, which hopefully will be useful 
for peole who didn't follow the (one-month long) thread.

Thank you for your attention,
Francesca

----DRAFT TO BE VOTED STARTS HERE----

The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.

It doesn't matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you:
we welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they
interact constructively with our community.

While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we
value and encourage contributions from those with expertise
in other areas, and welcome them into our community.

----DRAFT TO BE VOTED ENDS HERE----

== FAQ ==

Q: What is a diversity statement?
A: A diversity statement is a document expliciting something really
important: that everyone (regardless of whatever thing people may usually
be discriminated for) is welcome to join our project.

Q: Why we need a GR for it?
A: During the last two months, various people helped me in drafting one
for the Debian Project [2]. We reach a wide consensus on the text, but 
as for Constitution §4.1.5 for "[position] statement" a GR is necessary
(see [3]).
So, here we are. :)

Q: Which will be the consequences of adopting it?
A: A diversity statement is *not* a Code of Conduct. We are not adding
new rules. As Russ Allbery said [4]: 
"It's a statement of ideals.  Statements of ideals don't generally change
things in the way that, oh, code or even enforced policies change things.
The influence is at best subtle. But I think statements of ideals are
useful things to have because they help people think about ideals, and
remember that the ideals are important, and that we can all do something
to live up to those ideals.  And that that can be as significant of an
action as fixing a technical bug."

Q: What about hateful ideologies? Do we welcome them as well?
A: Here the relevant bit is: "We welcome contributions from everyone as
long as they interact constructively with our community". 
In addition, let me borrow again some words from Russ [5]: "The point of
a diversity statement is not to accept all behavior of any
kind.  It's to make a positive statement about what sort of behavior
we're actively seeking out and want to align".

Q: What will be the procedure for maintaining/updating the statement, 
once voted?
A: The gist of the statement will be fixed by the GR. But in order to
avoid needing a vote for every minor tweak, language improvements can be
applied by the -www team as for other parts of www.d.o and more
substantial changes, that do not change the spirit, can be discussed on
-project.

[fwd: OpenStack summit April 2012 post mortem]

Stefano Zacchiroli — 2012-04-22T09:10:09

Forwarding here for information in spite of the technical content, as
Loic attended the event on behalf of Debian, accepting an invitation
from OpenStack that has been initially addressed to me (as I've
mentioned some 'bits from the DPL' mail ago).

Thanks Loic, for attending and for the detailed report!

Cheers.

Subject: OpenStack summit April 2012 post mortem

Dear co-developpers,

Debian GNU/Linux was one of the few volunteer based projects represented during the OpenStack design summit held 16th - 18th April 2012
http://www.openstack.org/conference/san-francisco-2012/sessions/
When you look at the stats of "Who wrote Essex", two companies show: stackops and eNovance. Three members of the OpenStack packaging team ( Ghe Rivero, Julien Danjou and myself ) are paid by these companies and I think it's fair to say that a majority of the contributions were made for the sake of Debian GNU/Linux packaging.

We are tiny compared to other distributions Fedora, Ubuntu or even Suse who were represented by over sixty people during the summit. But in term of efficiency and the result accomplished, we've done very well collectively.

The format of the design summit is somewhat unusual. The goal is to actually design "blueprints" that will influence the next release. Over three hundred developers discuss pre-defined topics in short sessions (30 minutes to 60 minutes) and try to reach a consensus on something that matters to them. Design decisions can't really be decided in such a short time but in many cases the direction in which the design process is heading has been heavily influenced by the heated discussions from the audience. I will focus on the sessions that, in my opinion, are related to packaging and deployment.

I originaly thought the discussions will occur while sitting at the Debian GNU/Linux table. But I did not figure out where the table was when I arrived and I quickly realized that Debian GNU/Linux should be represented during the sessions themselves. I've not heard Suse speak up, although they were present. But in many occasions the discussion involved packagers from Fedora or Ubuntu and I had many opportunities to speak for Debian GNU/Linux.

* Stable maintainance release

The overall impression is that every company present is much more concerned than I expected about the stable release life cycle. To the extent that HP, for instance, is deeply commited to maintaining a Diablo based release that works for them, despite the huge amount of work it involves. The discussion was about the process outlined here:

http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranchRelease

A branch is actively maintained (until the next release is out) or passively maintained (when the next release becomes actively maintained). There has been a discussion about what happens afterwards. Mark McLoughlin (Fedora) proposed that it is orphaned. Dave Walker (Ubuntu) and Loic Dachary (Debian GNU/Linux) advocated that they need to be maintained as long as there is someone to backport the security fixes. Thierry Carrez (Release Manager) proposed that after being passively maintained by the OpenStack project, the branch shows in a list with all other branches and a clear information about wether or not someone is caring for it. Of course it would be better if the OpenStack project itself could commit to maintain stable branches for a longer period. But nobody was ready to commit to this at this point in time. The solution proposed is a good interim since old stable branches stay in the same framework and do not move to a cimetery where they would become second class citizen.

* Documentation

I did not attend the sessions specific to documentation. However, I heard many times that the lack of an update documentation is a major problem. I met Anne Gentle and congratulated her for the hard work. She said that there is currently a shortage of people working on documentation. I've not heard anything about a solution to fix this problem. There has been a proposals in the context of a common library to handle the openstack flags / options to also use it to generate documentation such as manual pages. The idea of having a common library for this did not reach a consensus though.

* Integration tests

In the course of a search for ways to check regressions after an upgrade of OpenStack, I discovered Tempest https://github.com/openstack/tempest which is a set of integration tests. It proved useful to spot problems on an existing installation. During the "Test Strategy, Processes, and Quality Metrics" session, I discovered that it becomes an increasingly important part of the continuous integration process. Jaypipes has advocated on many occasions that it should be required to run before a commit is accepted in trunk. The trystack.org platform could be the reference infrastructure against which it is run.

The gerrit workflow http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow is familiar to all OpenStack developers. But integration tests are equaly important for ops who are expecting to deploy successfully. Ghe made https://github.com/GheRivero/debostack/wiki and Ubuntu and Fedora also created similar custom environments. The ambition of Tempest is to be run by the OpenStack project itself, so that at least one deployment is proved to work.

That ambition raised the question of using packages to deploy for integration tests. I proposed that whenever a script has to be written in order to deploy the installation against which Tempest is run, it highlights the fact that the existing packages are missing an important use case.

The default Debian GNU/Linux use case may not be fit for integration tests. They will favor a situation where each component is deployed with a diversity of options activated in order to exercises all combinations of the OpenStack. As opposed to the default Debian GNU/Linux use case which is made for a casual system administrator willing to give OpenStack a try. However, the packages must not be hostile to the integration test / Tempest use cases because they are an essential part of the Q&A process.

* Stress test

The cambridge based research center for Quanta is the home of the stress test part of Tempest as found in https://github.com/openstack/tempest/tree/master/stress . It could be used but with caution according to the author: it cannot yet reliably figure out if something succedeed or not because the current logs are difficult to parse.

* Puppet

Dan Bode who is leading the effort on OpenStack puppet modules held a session on "Making the configuration of openstack easier". The core of the discussion was about the difficulties he encountered in creating cross distribution puppet modules. Namely, the constant state of flux of the configuration files, the lack of uniformity ( Fedora using one format + Unbutu / Debian GNU/Linux using another format for nova ) and the need for .d files to ease the generation of configuration stanzas as opposed to editing a single configuration file.

These are the topics I wanted to discuss with all distribution packagers and to my suprise they are adressed by someone depending on all distributions and challenging the OpenStack upstream for configuration practices. As long as Dan Bode is assigned to the making of OpenStack puppet modules, I am optimistic about the fact that the people in charge of coding will have our concerns in mind.

During the session about openstack-common, the same points ( .d directories for each file for instance) were already raised.

In a nutshell I think we're in good shape. The OpenStack upstream is aware of the requirements for better configuration and agrees to implement them. Integration tests are in the process of becoming standard practice and will ensure that at least one deployment is working according to the specifications. Essex is our target release for Wheezy and we can rely on the fact that it will be actively / passively maintained for a year. We can then package Folsom for experimental and follow the stable branch release cycle.

The pain points are the documentation, the fact that the integration tests are not yet complete and the fact that the maintainance cycle is too short compared to the Debian GNU/Linux release cycle. These should be addressed during the next summit.

To improve our presence during the next summit, there should be two of us to attend the sessions occuring at the same time. It would also help to discuss during lunch / parties. I had the pleasure to meet Faidon Liambotis who is a Debian developper, but he was representing his new employer and we did not have the opportunity to discuss before the summit. We could sit at the table and take turns, thus taking advantage of the generous offer of the OpenStack fundation. I discussed the OpenStack conference schedule with Stefano Maffulli and it is so dense that it is unrealistic to attend them all. I'd be happy if we can be represented propertly on one important occasion : twice a year for the design summit.

In conclusion that was a great summit and I'm happy that the work of Ghe Rivero and Julien Danjou for the packaging of the Essex release was acknowledged properly. I probably forgot a few things and I'd be happy to discuss over the phone or on IRC if you'd like.

Cheers
