Taking Stock of OpenStack’s Rapid Growth http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/05/taking-stock-of-openstacks-rapid-growth/
With another successful OpenStack Summit in the books, Jonathan Bryce http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/05/taking-stock-of-openstacks-rapid-growth/ reflects on three big areas of maturity that are rapidly emerging for the project: user maturity, software maturity and a focus on cloud operations.
OpenStack Superuser http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/05/openstack-superuser/
Superuser is a new online publication dedicated to the experiences of individuals who are running OpenStack clouds of all sizes, across all industries. The online publication lives at superuser.openstack.org http://superuser.openstack.org/.
How DefCore is going to change your world: three advisory cases http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/05/20/defcore-three-cases/
The first release of the DefCore Core Capabilities Matrix http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/05/08/defcore-scorecard/ (DCCM) was revealed at the Atlanta summit. At the Summit, Joshua McKenty and Rob Hirschfeld had a session which examined what this means for the various members of the OpenStack community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfefQ2ukduw. A rather lengthy post reviews the same advisory material.
Community Office Hours http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack/2014-May/007323.html
One of the requests in Atlanta was to setup carefully listening ears for developers and users alike so they can highlight roadblocks, vent frustration and hopefully also give kudos to people, suggest solutions, etc. The Community Managers have added two 1 hour slots to the OpenStack Meetings calendar
o Tuesdays at 0800 UTC on #openstack-community (hosted by Tom) o Fridays at 1800 UTC on #openstack-community (hosted by Stefano)
so if you have anything you’d like the Foundation to be aware of please hop on the channel and talk to us. If you don’t/can’t use IRC, send us an email and we’ll use something else: just talk to us.
