</H3>
Last week, the <A HREF="http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/12/11/openstack-defcore-havana/">OpenStack DefCore</A> committee rolled up our collective sleeves and got to work in a serious way. We had a <A HREF="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/DefCoreScale.F2F">in-person meeting</A> with great turn out with 5 board members, Foundation executives/staff and good community engagement. TL;DR > We think DefCore deliverables should be dated milestone guidelines instead tightly coupled to release events (see graphic on <A HREF="http://robhirschfeld.com/">Rob Hirschfeld</A>'s blog).

</H3>
During Kilo cycle, Neutron's team has made an effort to expand and scale the Neutron development community. <A HREF="http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/kilo/core-vendor-decomposition.html">Plugin Decomposition</A> and <A HREF="http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/kilo/services-split.html">Advanced Services Split</A> were designed to enable a more scalable development environment which will allow for fast code iteration in all the areas affected. How have we done with these?

Sometimes a demo can go almost too well. By the time <A HREF="https://twitter.com/peterscraig">Craig Peters</A> and <A HREF="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/georgy-okrokvertskhov/25/742/7a9">Georgy Okrokvertskhov</A> took the mic to show how OpenStack support for Kubernetes makes managing Docker containers pretty much a point-and-click operation, the crowd at the Kubernetes San Francisco <A HREF="http://kubernetes.meetup.com/">meetup</A> was almost hoping for a glitch. Instead, in just under 10 minutes, the pair did a seamless walk-through of how to set up a <A HREF="http://kubernetes.io/">Kubernetes</A> cluster using OpenStack in the final demo of the night.
