<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<h3><a
href="http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/my-first-week-at-openstack/">My
first week at OpenStack</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/">Victoria Martínez de la
Cruz</a> is one of the three interns working on OpenStack under
the Outreach Program for Women (OPW –Anne Gentle shared some
details about the program before.) She will be working on <a
href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/tenant-deletion"
target="_blank">Tenant Deletion Workflow</a> in the next months.
This first blog post about OpenStack contains lots of good advice
for any developer joining the community: a must read, for
experienced developers, hiring managers and newcomers to this
great community.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://blog.doughellmann.com/2013/01/ceilometer-grizzly-2-milestone-available.html">Ceilometer
Grizzly 2 Milestone Available</a></h3>
<p>The Ceilometer team is proud to announce the first synchronous
milestone delivery with the <a href="http://openstack.org/">OpenStack</a>
project. <a
href="https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/+milestone/grizzly-2">Grizzly-2</a>
is also the last Folsom compatible version of <a
href="https://launchpad.net/ceilometer">Ceilometer</a> as we are
planning to introduce some breaking changes very soon in our trunk
to enable a totally new set of features bringing Ceilometer beyond
basic metering into monitoring and alerting.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://freedomhui.com/2013/01/stacklabhow-many-people-it-needs-to-build-a-multi-regions-cloud/">How
many people does one need to build a multi-region cloud?</a></h3>
<p>Hui Cheng describes in details the StackLab project. Spearheaded
by Sina, Intel, Gamewave, Xi’an Jiaotong University, South China
University of Technology and others, it’s a non profit platform to
try and test OpenStack. Sina’s OpenStack development team was
responsible for the development, operations, and go online
initially. More volunteers have joined the effort and are actively
being recruited to get involved to this great career, which will
accelerate OpenStack popularizing in China.</p>
<h3><a
href="https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-for-openstack/">An
Image Transfers Service For OpenStack</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/">John Bresnahan</a>
makes the case for a new transfer service component in OpenStack.
IaaS clouds must transfer VM images from the repositories in which
they reside to compute nodes where they are booted. In the current
state of OpenStack images download via HTTP to a nova-compute
client speaking to the Glance image service. In the future
proposed by John a transfers service would provide more
predictable quality of service with horizontal scalability. Check
his idea.</p>
<h3><a href="http://lists.openstack/">Ceilomenter is looking for
volunteers to take on unassigned blueprints</a></h3>
<p>The team is about to start implementing the blueprints for the g3
milestone, there are few blueprints which still don’t have anyone
assigned to them. If you are looking for something useful to code,
head over to see the list of things that you could be working on.
Remember that contributions during the Grizzly lifecycle will get
you a free ticket to the OpenStack Summit.</p>
