Hey OpenStackers,

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: http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com).

In this e-mail, I'd like to summarize ongoing issues and try to cover
updates weekly (or each 14 days - based on content).

Issues by priority:
---------------
** TripleO UI - Resource Management:*
http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com/question/95/tripleo-ui-resource-management/
    - TripleO UI is close to start to be implemented - we really need
to get resource on this topics

without any bigger objections, there are just smaller updates

    - Deployment Management is completely new section
    - Implementation needs to start ASAP
    - At the moment the concept is the most important, so we don't
have major changes later

    - Review review review please

most certainly welcome
