Hello everyone, It is my great pleasure to announce the final release of OpenStack 2013.2. It marks the end of the "Havana" 6-month-long development cycle, which saw the addition of two integrated components (Ceilometer and Heat), the completion of more than 400 feature blueprints and the fixing of more than 3000 reported bugs !

It's not too late to join us there, see http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/ for more details. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this development cycle and participated in making this awesome release possible ! -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
