<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<h3>Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly?</h3>
<p>Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick
on something you carry every day like a backpack or your
favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly,
too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your
‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/">Packstack:
Openstack Install tool</a></h3>
<p>There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare
metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the
fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its
first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already
capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute
most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as
well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s
space for more.</p>
<h3><a href="http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/">Testing</a>
(OpenStack)</h3>
<p><a href="http://anteaya.info/">Anita Kuno</a>, one of our
awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new
developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In
this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests
in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t
know. But now she does.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/">Cloud
Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware</a></h3>
<p>There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape
comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most
popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack.
Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories:
design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are
scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the
winner.</p>
<h3><a

a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work?</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/">Victoria Martínez de la
Cruz</a>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures
and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.</p>
