<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc">Important
CLA changes coming this weekend (2nd try)</a></h3>
<p>Last weekend the change was blocked at the last minute by a
request to amend the CLA text. We’re trying again this weekend.</p>
<p>Starting on March 3, 2013 1700UTC 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>. 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>

<p>Technical deep dive in how OpenStack Object Storage solves one of
the hard problems of all distributed storage system: how to
effectively place the data within the storage cluster. Swift has a
