Hey OpenStackers,<br>
<br>
based on the latest discussions, it was asked if we can try to post
regular updates of what is happening in our community (mostly on
Askbot forum: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com">http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com</a>).<br>
<br>
In this e-mail, I'd like to summarize ongoing issues and try to
cover updates weekly (or each 14 days - based on content).<br>
<br>
Issues by priority:<br>
---------------<br>

need to get resource on this topics<br>

reviewed without any bigger objections, there are just smaller
updates<br>
