<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc">Important
CLA changes coming this weekend</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> (changes “LLC” to “Foundation”, <a
href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/gerrit/cla.html">restores
a sentence from ASF</a> 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
href="http://openstack.org/register/">http://openstack.org/register/</a>.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-outpaces-amazon-at-least-by-hype/">OpenStack
outpaces Amazon, at least by hype</a></h3>
<p>A study conducted by TrendKite shows that at this point
OpenStack has more media mentions than Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus,
CloudStack and OpenNebula combined. If that is not enough,
another chart from the same study appears to show that
“OpenStack” media mentions are on par with that of “Cloud
Computing.”</p>
<h3><a href="http://jake.ai/cloudenvy-development-in-the-cloud">CloudEnvy:
Development in the cloud!</a></h3>
<p>Jake Dahn is working on a project called CloudEnvy which has
potential to change the development patterns of web developers
everywhere: it allows you to configure and distribute
reproducible development environments in the cloud.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/02/bring-on-the-crazy-zero-to-book-in-five-days/">Bring
on the Crazy: Zero to Book in Five Days</a></h3>
<p>Anne Gentle is leading a “crazy” project: a large, highly
focused documentation sprint to write that operator’s guide —
for operators by operators. Anne promised to pluck operators out
of their day jobs, put them in a room, fuel them with coffee,
BBQ, and TexMex, and get to writing. Sounds awesome to me: I’m
voting for their panel <a
href="http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/vote-for-speakers/presentation/444"
target="_blank">On Writing the OpenStack Operations Manual in
5 Days</a> at the upcoming OpenStack Summit.</p>
<h3><a href="http://dague.net/2013/02/21/the-openstack-gate/">The
OpenStack Gate</a></h3>
<p>The OpenStack project has a really impressive continuous
integration system, which is one of its core strengths as a
project. Every proposed change to our <a
href="https://review.openstack.org/#/">gerrit review</a>
system is subjected to a battery of tests on each commit, which
has grown dramatically with time, and after formal review by
core contributors, we run them all again before the merge. How
can this gate merge hundreds of changes per day? Learn about
Zuul, the OpenStack gatekeeper.</p>
