Even if CoreOS is not mature enough to be put in production, the technology has a lot of advantages and features that are worth exploring. The Growing Diversity inside OpenStack Object Storage <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/the-growing-diversity-inside-openstac…> Of all OpenStack projects, Object Storage (also known as Swift) has always been considered mature or, in other words, a place where new things rarely happen. The good news is that a lot of exciting things are happening in Swift <http://activity.openstack.org/data/display/OPNSTK2/swift>, specifically around the community participation and growing ecosystem. Improving the OpenStack Documentation Build Tools <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/2013/10/improving-openstack-documentation-bu…> The tools for building and checking the OpenStack Documentation manuals has been improved with a few different options for fine-grained control. The new tools are run locally and as jenkins jobs allowing writers submitting a patch to get quickly an overview about what fails.

September 2013 PTL elections - Final results
by Anita Kuno 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Thank you to the electorate, to all those who voted and to all candidates who put their name forward for PTL for this election. A healthy, open process breeds trust in our decision making capability - thank you to all those who make this process possible. Now for the results of the PTL election process, please join me in extending congratulations to the following PTLs: * Compute (Nova) o Russell Bryant * Object Storage (Swift) o John Dickinson * Image Service (Glance) o Mark Washenberger * Identity (Keystone) o Dolph Mathews * Dashboard (Horizon) o Gabriel Hurley * Networking (Neutron) o Mark McClain * Block Storage (Cinder) o John Griffith * Metering/Monitoring (Ceilometer) o Julien Danjou * Orchestration (Heat) o Steve Baker * Database Service (Trove) o Michael Basnight * Bare metal (Ironic) o Devananda van der Veen * Queue service (Marconi) o Kurt Griffiths * Common Libraries (Oslo) o Doug Hellmann * Infrastructure o James E. Blair * Documentation o Anne Gentle * Quality Assurance (QA) o Sean Dague * Deployment (TripleO) o Robert Collins * Devstack (DevStack) o Dean Troyer * Release cycle management o Thierry Carrez * Savanna o Sergey Lukjanov Election Results: Cinder: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_8f0141cdd… Heat: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_bf6cc46f0… Horizon: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_18f40a4ba… Please note that I include the Savanna PTL in this list though Savanna was not part of the original PTL announcement for this round [0], as the program became incubated during the election process [1]. I evaluated the documentation surrounding the Savanna PTL election process as I was requested to do, concluding that their electorate had knowingly elected their PTL to remain in position until the conclusion of the Icehouse release, should the program be incubated. Links to Savanna election process [2][3][4] [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-September/015369.ht… [1]http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-24-20.01.html [2] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/savanna/2013/savanna.2013-08-15-18.… [3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-August/013447.html [4] http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_cf7af88be… I have posted the announcement to the openstack-dev mailing list opening TC nominations. We are into the TC election process. Thierry and I will both be officiating the TC election. Thank you to all involved in the PTL election process, Anita Kuno. (anteaya)
