      <h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc">Important
          CLA changes coming in 10 days</a></h3>
      <p>Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and
        agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License
        Agreement and provide updated contact information at <a
          href="https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements">https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements</a>.
        On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the
        new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will
        prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with
        OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of
        the new agreement is <a
          href="https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html">available
          for your convenience</a> (just changes “LLC” to “Foundation”
        and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up
        for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same
        E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: <a

          Object Storage (aka Swift) for new contributors</a></h3>
      <p>As a developer, jumping into a mature codebase can be somewhat
        daunting. How is the code structured? What is the request flow?
        What’s the process for getting my changes contributed upstream?
        Find answers to these questions on this post by SwiftStack.</p>
      <h3><a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-tc/2013-February/000119.html">Evolution
          of the incubation process</a></h3>
      <p>The Technical Committee approved a set of changes to the
        incubation process, the process through which a project becomes
        part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. One of
        the visible change is the switch from using the term “Core
        projects” to “Integrated”.</p>

          trademark at risk in Europe: Python Foundation needs your help</a></h3>
      <p>For anyone who works in a company that has an office in a EU
        Community member state, the Python Software Foundation needs
        your help. There is a company in the UK that is trying to
        trademark the use of the term “Python” for all software,
        services, servers… pretty much anything having to do with a
        computer. The PSF is asking a letter on company letterhead to
