      Brace yourself, DevStack Ceph is here!
      <http://techs.enovance.com/6572/brace-yourself-devstack-ceph-is-here>

It's already a legend: after 7 months and 42(fortytwo) patch sets,
Sebastien <https://review.openstack.org/#/cSebastien>Han's patch
<https://review.openstack.org/#/c/65113/> got merged into DevStack. The
patch configures things to bootstrap a Ceph cluster and then configure
the OpenStack services Glance, Cinder, Cinder backup and Nova. A toast
to Sebastien's persistence and to all Devstack maintainers who provided
help.

      Keystone team looking for feedback

The Keystone team is looking for feedback from the community on what
type of Keystone Token is being used in your OpenStack deployments. This
is to help us understand the use of the different providers and get
information on the reasoning (if possible) that that token provider is
being used. Please respond to the survey:

      Third Party CI group meeting summary:

At this week's meeting the Third-Party group continued to discuss a new

configuration files. Anyone deploying a third-party test system or
interested in easing third-party involvement is welcome to attend the
meetings. Minutes of ThirdParty meetings
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty> are carefully logged.
