OpenStack Summit is coming to Hong Kong</a></h3>
<p>It’s official: we’re going to Hong Kong on Nov 5-8. The Summit

<h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/an-introductory-tour-of-openstack-cloud-messaging-as-a-service/">An
introductory tour of OpenStack Cloud Messaging as a Service</a></h3>
<p>The need for an OpenStack Messaging Service was recognized by
the San Diego Grizzly Summit, and in an unconference track
design meeting on the last day, a crowd of interested people
met, talked out some requirements, and from that the <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Marconi">OpenStack
Message Bus</a> project was born. It was codenamed “Marconi”,
in honor of <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi">Guglielmo
Marconi</a>, the inventor of wireless messaging. The Marconi
team collaborates on <a href="https://launchpad.net/marconi">Launchpad</a>.</p>

with the OpenStack Code Review and CI system – Chef Edition</a></h3>
<p>For too long, the state of the OpenStack Chef world had been
one of duplicative effort, endless forks of Chef cookbooks, and
little integration with how many of the OpenStack projects
choose to control source code and integration testing. Recently,
however, the Chef + OpenStack community has been getting its
proverbial act together. Folks from lots of companies have come
together and pushed to align efforts to produce a set of
well-documented, flexible, but focused Chef cookbooks that
install and configure OpenStack services. StackForge now hosting
a set of Chef cookbooks for OpenStack.</p>
<h3><a href="http://dachary.org/?p=1991">Virtualizing legacy
hardware in OpenStack</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://dachary.org/">Loïc Dachary</a> summarizes how
the French non-profit organization <a href="http://april.org/">April</a>
migrated the workload of a five years old hardware to OpenStack.
Instead of migrating each of the fourteen <a
href="http://linux-vserver.org/">vservers</a> on a <a
href="http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/">Debian GNU/Linux
lenny</a> running a <b>2.6.26-2-vserver-686-bigmem</b> linux
individually to an OpenStack instance, it was decided that the
vserver host would be copied over to an OpenStack instance.</p>
<h3><a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community#Mailing_lists_in_local_languages">Discussion
lists available in non-English languages</a></h3>
<p>In order to support our growing international communities the
OpenStack Infrastructure and the Community team worked to allow
groups to create mailing lists in languages other than English.
People interested in discussions in <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-it">Italian</a>
and <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-vi">Vietnamese</a>
can join the lists already. A request for a list to discuss in
Spanish is <a href="https://pending/">pending</a><a

other can be created if necessary <a

the instructions</a>.</p>
