      Network Function Virtualization -- The Opportunity for OpenStack
      and Open Source
      <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2014/10/02/network-function-virtualization-the-opportunity-for-openstack-and-open-source/>

This week's launch of OPNFV
<https://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/09/telcos-mobilizing-to-drive-nfv-adoption/>
is a good opportunity to think about a simmering debate in the OpenStack
developer community for a while now -- what exactly does NFV have to do
with OpenStack, and is it a good thing? Follow Boad Member Mark
McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc>'s journey around NFV.


      #1 OpenStack contributor: all of us
      <http://ttx.re/largest-openstack-contributor.html>

Thierry Carrez <http://ttx.re/> celebrates every little contribution
gone into OpenStack. "It doesn't matter who is #1, it matters that we
all can contribute, and that we all do contribute. It matters that we
keep on making sure everyone can easily contribute. That's what's really
important, and I wish we all were celebrating that."
