      The Way Forward <http://ttx.re/the-way-forward.html>

The OpenStack project structure has been under heavy discussion over the
past months. There was a long email thread
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-August/041929.html>,
a <https://dague.net/2014/08/26/openstack-as-layers/> lot
<http://inaugust.com/post/108> of
<http://www.stillhq.com/openstack/kilo/000002.html> opinionated
<http://ttx.re/problem-space-in-the-big-tent.html> blogposts
<http://www.joinfu.com/2014/09/so-what-is-the-core-of-openstack/>, a
cross-project design summit session
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kilo-crossproject-growth-challenges>
in Paris, and various strawmen proposed to our governance repository
<https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/governance,n,z>.
Based on all that input, the OpenStack Technical Committee worked on a
clear specification of the problems we are trying to solve, and the
proposed way to fix them. Thierry Carrez wrote an excerpt of the
approved resolution <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/138504/>. To ejnoy
with a cup of your favorite brew and away from distractions.


      OpenStack Object Storage Swift 2.2.1 released

The work of 28 contributors (including 8 first-time contributors), this
release is definitely operator-centric. Upgrade is recommended; as
always you can upgrade to this release with no customer downtime.
