<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc">Important
CLA changes coming in 10 days</a></h3>
<p>Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and
agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License
Agreement and provide updated contact information at <a
href="https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements">https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements</a>.
On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the
new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will
prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with
OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of
the new agreement is <a
href="https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html">available
for your convenience</a> (just changes “LLC” to “Foundation”
and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up
for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same
E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: <a
href="http://openstack.org/register/">http://openstack.org/register/</a>.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/12/03/swift-for-new-contributors/">OpenStack
Object Storage (aka Swift) for new contributors</a></h3>
<p>As a developer, jumping into a mature codebase can be somewhat
daunting. How is the code structured? What is the request flow?
What’s the process for getting my changes contributed upstream?
Find answers to these questions on this post by SwiftStack.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-tc/2013-February/000119.html">Evolution
of the incubation process</a></h3>
<p>The Technical Committee approved a set of changes to the
incubation process, the process through which a project becomes
part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. One of
the visible change is the switch from using the term “Core
projects” to “Integrated”.</p>
<h3><a href="http://dachary.org/?p=1846">Upstream University at
the OpenStack summit</a></h3>

href="http://upstream-university.org/apply/">is organizing a
session</a> in advance of the next <a
href="http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/">OpenStack

trademark at risk in Europe: Python Foundation needs your help</a></h3>
<p>For anyone who works in a company that has an office in a EU
Community member state, the Python Software Foundation needs
your help. There is a company in the UK that is trying to
trademark the use of the term “Python” for all software,
services, servers… pretty much anything having to do with a
computer. The PSF is asking a letter on company letterhead to
forward to their EU counsel. More details on <a

<h3><a
href="http://commons.sfsu.edu/report-openstack-project-campus">Report
of Openstack project on SF State University campus</a></h3>
<p>Two students (Brandon Lai and Pascal Schuele) under supervision
of prof. Sameer Verma worked on exploring the cloud computing
space in Fall 2012. They built a demo/prototype of a private
cloud platform on campus and presented at the end of the
semester. Prof. Verma hopes to continue to expand this project
in Spring 2013.</p>
