OpenStack Compute (Nova) Roadmap for Havana http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/openstack-compute-nova-roadmap-for-havana/
The Havana design summit was held mid-April. Since then the Nova team has been documenting the Havana roadmap and going full speed ahead on development of these features. The list of features that developers have committed to completing for the Havana release is tracked using blueprints on Launchpad https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/havana. At the time of writing, there are 74 blueprints listed that cover a wide range of development efforts. Russell Bryant http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/, Nova Tech Lead, highlights some of them.
