      Take the OpenStack User Survey and Change the (OpenStack) World
      <http://openstack.org/user-survey>

Still a few more hours to fill in the OpenStack User Survey.


      Heartbleed <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2014/04/10/heartbleed/>

The bug discovered affecting OpenSSL and “breaking” internet doesn’t
directly touch OpenStack but can lead to OpenStack compromise
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack/2014-April/006539.html>.
The width of the problem discovered this week is extremely wide though
and I think it’s worth spending some more time learning about it. Mark
McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc> has collected an impressive
amount of links where you can learn more.


      Security auditing of OpenStack releases
      <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/?p=51>

Nathan Kinder <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/> started a conversation
about how to deal with high-level security related questions about
OpenStack.


      How to govern a project on the scale of OpenStack
      <http://opensource.com/business/14/4/governance-openstack>

How an open source project is governed can matter just as much as the
features it supports, the speed at which it runs, or the code that
underlies it. Some open source projects have what I call a “benevolent
dictator for life
<http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/on-the-reign-of-benevolent-dictators-for-life-in-software/283139/>.”
Others are outgrowths of corporate projects that, while open, still have
their goals and code led by the company that manages it. And of course,
there are thousands of projects out there that are written and managed
by a single person or a small group of people for whom governance is
less of an issue than insuring project sustainability
<http://opensource.com/life/14/1/evaluate-sustainability-open-source-project>.


      Introducing the OpenStack SDK for PHP
      <http://engineeredweb.com/blog/2014/openstack-sdk-php-intro/>

Marrying OpenStack with one of the most popular programming languages on
the planet. Write applications to interact with OpenStack public and
private clouds, using the APIs. The OpenStack SDK for PHP
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack-SDK-PHP> is meant to be by
the community and for the community. It will be able to work with clouds
from a variety of vendors or vanilla OpenStack setups.


      Tearing down obstacles to OpenStack documentation contributions
      <http://justwriteclick.com/2014/04/10/tearing-down-obstacles-to-openstack-documentation-contributions/>

Rip. Shred. Tear. Let’s gather up the obstacles to documentation
contribution and tear them down one by one. I’ve designed a survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/136-BssH-OxjVo8vNoOD-gW4x8fDFpvixbgCfeV1w_do/viewform>
with the help of the OpenStack docs team to determine blockers for docs
contributions. If you’ve contributed to OpenStack, pleasefill it out
