The aim<br>is to give a quick overview to see our progress and what is on the menu.<br>Feedback is always welcome on the efficacy of the content.<br><br>This edition will take a slightly different direction, as I am now cross-posting<br>this to my blog to increase exposure and to get the content showing up on<br>OpenStack [Planet](<a href="http://planet.openstack.org">http://planet.openstack.org</a>). Going forward, this will be<br>formatted as Markdown.<br><br>### Announcements<br><br>* Queens release is nearing. Summit week slowed things down a little, but we're<br> looking to be in good shape.<br>* Kitchen scenarios are now pinned to Chef 14. While Chef 13 is supported until<br> Chef 15 release (April 2019 timeframe), master is not currently developing<br> against it. All changes are currently still gated against Chef 13, so we have<br> test coverage of both supported Chef major releases.<br>* ChefDK 3 has been released. Testing has not commenced with it, but patches are<br> always welcome if you're impatient.<br><br>### Documentation<br><br>* [Contributor and install guides](<a href="https://review.openstack.org/569571">https://review.openstack.org/569571</a>) have been written to replace the<br> ever-aging documentation in openstack-chef-repo.<br>* A more comprehensive deploy guide is beginning to take shape.<br><br>### Integration<br><br>* The mass deprecation of Rakefiles is still looking to be possible. The<br> functionality from openstack-chef-repo/Rakefile will have to be retrofitted<br> into Zuul jobs to get gating jobs for the supported platforms.<br>* Chef Delivery support has made it to the cookbooks. It is currently used in<br> local testing, but will be making it to the gate soon.<br><br>### Containers<br><br>* Dokken works-ish. Yes, ish. Though, not for lack of trying. RDO has issues in<br> networking due to iptables.<br>* All-in-one is the current focus, with<br> [clean builds](<a href="https://review.openstack.org/566440">https://review.openstack.org/566440</a>) using UCA packages.<br><br>### Upgrades<br><br>* No updates this month.<br><div><br>### On The Menu<br><br>*Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole* (makes 8-10 portions)<br><br>* 1500g chicken, cubed in 1" pieces<br>* 300g ham steak, cubed in 0.5" pieces<br>* 300g Swiss cheese<br>* 230ml Heavy Whipping Cream<br>* 230ml cream cheese / Neufchatel<br>* To taste: salt, pepper, garlic powder<br><br>#### Instructions<br><br>1. Cook whole pieces of chicken most of the way through so it isn't tough and rubbery. A little<br> pink here is a good thing - it will finish in the oven. Slice into roughly 1" cubes.<br>2. Line the bottom of the pan with chicken cubes<br>3. Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder (sorry non-US folks) over the chicken<br>4. Sprinkle ham cubes on top of the chicken<br>5. Shred Swiss cheese and spread over the mixture<br>6. Heat the cream cheese in the microwave, add the cream and mix. Pour mixture<br> over the casserole.<br>7. Mix ingredients until incorporated. Overmixing will give a more pate-like<br> texture.<br>8. Bake @ 350F / 176C for 40 minutes.<br></div><div><br></div><div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature">Your humble line cook,<br>Samuel Cassiba (scas)<br></div></div>
