Project Such As OpenStack Neutron</span></a></h3>
<p>As Neutron’s Tech Lead (PTL), <a
href="http://www.siliconloons.com/">Kyle Mestery</a> has been
mostly heads down working to ensure the Neutron project has a
successful Juno release. Increasingly, and especially near <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Juno_Release_Schedule"
target="_blank">OpenStack Juno milestone deadlines</a>, he’s
forced to make hard choices and start turning new features down
in order to focus on shipping good quality code for Juno. He
sent an <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/041136.html"
target="_blank">email</a> to the openstack-dev mailing list
this morning addressing the pressure his team is under. He also
wrote a longer blog post to expand upon that email.</p>
<h3><a href="https://dague.net/2014/07/22/openstack-failures/"><span
lang="en-US">OpenStack Failures</span></a></h3>
<p>Last week the bulk of the brain power of the OpenStack QA and
Infra teams were all in one room, in real life. This was a great
opportunity to spend a bunch of time diving deep into the
current state of the Gate, figure out what’s going on, and how
we might make things better. <a href="https://dague.net/">Sean
Dague</a>, <a href="http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=9574">Jim
Blair, wElizabeth K. Joseph</a> and <a
href="http://lizards.opensuse.org/2014/07/23/openstack-infraqa-meetup/">bmwiedemann</a>
wrote a summary of the week.</p>
<h3><a

plays Tetris : Stacking and Spreading a full private cloud</a></h3>
<p>CERN is running a large scale private cloud which is providing
compute resources for physicists analysing the data from the
Large Hadron Collider. With 100s of VMs created per day, the
OpenStack scheduler has to perform a Tetris like job to assign
the different flavors of VMs falling to the specific
hypervisors.</p>

<h2>The Road To Paris 2014 – Deadlines and Resources</h2>
<p>During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the
Women of OpenStack to frame up more defined goals and line out a
blueprint for the group moving forward. We encourage all women
in the community to <a

very short survey</a>to provide input for the group.</p>
