      <h3><a
href="http://fnords.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/storyboard-sprint-in-brussels/">StoryBoard
          sprint in Brussels</a></h3>
      <p>StoryBoard is a project <a href="http://fnords.wordpress.com/">Thierry
          Carrez</a> started a few months ago. Quite a few people in
        OpenStack have been running into a number of issues with
        Launchpad (inability to have blueprints spanning multiple code
        bases, inability to have flexible project group views, inability
        to use non-Launchpad OpenID for login…), and were investigating
        replacements. Tired of explaining why existing alternatives
        wouldn’t work for OpenStack task management, Thierry ended up
        writing a proof-of-concept to show a practical example. That
        proof-of-concept was sufficiently compelling that the
        Infrastructure team decided we should write our own tool.</p>
