The OpenStack Foundation</a></h3>
<p>The OpenStack community has worked hard since the
announcement of intention to establish an OpenStack
Foundation in October 2011. We’ve come to the point where
Individual Members can join and begin making important
contributions like nominating board members: <a

Adds New ARM Technology-Powered Zone</a></h3>
<p>A monumental day in ARM server history! <a
href="http://www.trystack.org/">TryStack.org</a>, the
hosted cloud sandbox for OpenStack, now has an ARM-based
OpenStack zone in addition to the x86 zone. (This is, to
our knowledge, the first OpenStack cluster made publicly
available on an ARM-based system!)</p>
