up the OpenStack Travel Support Program – Icehouse</a>
</h3>
<p>The OpenStack Foundation brought 18 people to Hong Kong thanks to
the grants offered by the first edition of the Travel Support
Program, sponsored by Intel. The Travel Support Program is based
on the promise of <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Open">Open
Design</a> and its aim is to facilitate participation of key
contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit. The program aims at
covering costs for travel and accommodation for key contributors
to the OpenStack project to join the community at the Summits.</p>
<h3><a

an operator?</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/">Lorin Hochstein</a>
made what he calls “a modest proposal”: a program to pair up
individual OpenStack developers with OpenStack operators to
encourage better information flow from ops to devs. Sounds
intriguing, it may be a way to try tightening the gap between
developers and users of OpenStack. Another proposal trying to
address the same issue was sent to the <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/user-committee/2013-November/000192.html">User
Committee mailing list</a>. What do you think?</p>

Workstation / Fusion / Player Nova driver </a></h3>
<p>The fine folks at Cloudbase are heavily using VMware Workstation
and Fusion for development, demos and PoCs. They have replaced
their automation scripts with a fully functional Nova driver and
use OpenStack APIs and Heat for the automation. They published the
results of their work as a Nova driver on <a
href="https://github.com/cloudbase/nova-vix-driver/">github.com</a>.</p>
