December 2014 OpenStack Infrastructure User Manual Sprint <http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=9952> During this week the Infrastructure team released a significant milestone for the Infrastructure User Manual. The manual consolidates documentation for Developers, Core Reviewers and Project Drivers, which was spread across wiki pages, project-specific documentation files and general institutional knowledge. The manual is starting to look great and a lot of wiki pages have been declared obsolete meanwhile. Third-party CI account creation is now self-serve <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/third-party-announce/2014-December/000…> This means that new third-party account will need to follow a new, leaner process <http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html#creating-a-service-account>. There are some changes for existing accounts. Read the full announcement <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/third-party-announce/2014-December/000…>.

by Alan Pevec 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hello everyone, The OpenStack Stable Maintenance team is happy to announce the release of the 2014.2.1 stable Juno release. We have been busy reviewing and accepting backported bugfixes to the stable/juno branches according to the criteria set at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StableBranch A total of 123 bugs have been fixed across all projects. These updates to Juno are intended to be low risk with no intentional regressions or API changes. The list of bugs, tarballs and other milestone information for each project may be found on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/cinder/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/glance/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/heat/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/horizon/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/keystone/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/neutron/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/nova/juno/2014.2.1 https://launchpad.net/sahara/juno/2014.2.1 OpenStack Database Service (Trove) did not have stable/juno fixes at this time and will skip 2014.2.1 release. Release notes may be found on the wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/2014.2.1 The freeze on the stable/juno branches will be lifted today as we begin working toward the 2014.2.2 release, planned for Jan 29 2015 release and managed by Chuck Short. Thanks, Alan
