OpenStack’s next release will be called Liberty. While you might be thinking of the word liberty in terms of “freedom” (as in free beer or other things), the name comes from a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

OpenStack SDKs exist for several programming languages, including Python, Go, Ruby, and many more. For those who don't wish to write code, users in the *nix world can use Curl at the command line to perform operations. What about Microsoft Windows administrators?

</H3>
If you’ve checked out the <A HREF="http://docs.openstack.org/">OpenStack Documentation</A> site recently, you may have noticed a new look. The refreshed design of the landing page is the beginning of an <A HREF="http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/kilo/migrate-to-new-web-design.html">ongoing overhaul</A>. The site is, however, open under construction and people are already applauding the <A HREF="https://twitter.com/saintaardvark/status/564070347842924546">refresh.</A> The move to a simpler markup language will go a long way to helping OpenStack contributors work on the documentation that matters to them.
