      Mentoring others and yourself
      <http://blog.flaper87.com/post/5437068bd987d26792ce7139/>

While this topic would have been good for the Tips-and-tricks section
below, I think it deserves to open this week's wrap-up. With a new
session of Outreach Program for Women about to start for OpenStack, our
good mentor Flavio Percoco <http://blog.flaper87.com/>gives some ideas
on being a good mentor.


      OpenStack Technical Committee Update
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/10/openstack-technical-committee-update-2/>

The last meeting of the current Technical Committee before the elections
(which started today). Vishvananda Ishaya
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/10/openstack-technical-committee-update-2/>
wraps up the conversations around graduation, the contributor license
agreement and the "big tent".


        Next steps for 'Hidden Influencers'
        <http://maffulli.net/2014/10/07/next-steps-for-hidden-influencers/>

With Paris only weeks away it's time to announce that we have a time and
place to meet people whose job is to decide what OpenStack means for
their company. The OpenStack Foundation has offered a room to meet in
Paris on Monday, November 3rd, in the afternoon
<http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/268a9853812c22ca8d0636b9d8f0c831#.VDMxjSldVRg>:
please add the meeting to your schedule
<http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/268a9853812c22ca8d0636b9d8f0c831#.VDMxjSldVRg>
and join the mailing list
<http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/product-wg>.


    The Road To Paris 2014 -- Deadlines and Resources

During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the Women of
OpenStack to frame up more defined goals and line out a blueprint for
the group moving forward. We encourage all women in the community to
complete this very short survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V39BL7H>
to provide input for the group.
