Hong Kong Summit: Why I’m Excited</a></h3>
<p>We asked our community why they’re looking forward to the <a
href="http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/">OpenStack
Summit</a> in Hong Kong next week. We received a number of
colorful responses and we’re sharing some of the best here. Have
something to add? Let us know why you’re excited for the Summit
in the comments!</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/reviewing-how-blueprints-are-handled/">Reviewing
how Blueprints are handled</a></h3>
<p>OpenStack Compute Tech Lead Russell Bryant has triggered an
important discussion on the OpenStack Development mailing list
about the process to review blueprints. The <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints">Blueprints
wiki page</a> currently assigns to Project Tech Leads the task
of assigning priority to the blueprints and Russell is
suggesting that a wider group of people in the community shares
such responsibility. Join the discussion on the <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-October/017290.html">development
mailing list</a> and in <a
href="http://openstack.org/summit/">Hong Kong</a>.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2013/10/30/openstack-core-and-interoperability/">OpenStack
“Core” and Interoperability</a></h3>
<p>Have you been following the <a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/">“what
is core?” conversation</a> since the <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/IncubationUpdate2013">“Incubation
Update” committee</a> completed its work some time ago? This
discussion is going to be the big ticket item during <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/4Nov2013BoardMeeting">next
week’s board meeting</a>. <a
href="http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc">Mark McLoughlin</a>
shares his thoughts and a discussion derived from it on the <a
href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2013-October/001576.html">OpenStack
