Icehouse-2 development milestone available http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2014-January/000187.html
The second milestone of the Icehouse development cycle, “icehouse-2? is now available for Keystone, Glance, Nova, Horizon, Neutron, Cinder, Ceilometer, Heat, and Trove. Including the oslo libraries, “only” 50 blueprints were implemented and about 650 bugs were fixed during this milestone, which is slightly less than our usual velocity at that point in the cycle. This is mostly due to the recent issues in gating and the end-of-year holiday season. The next development milestone, icehouse-3, is scheduled for March 6th.

OpenStack Swift as backend for Git http://techs.enovance.com/6643/openstack-swift-as-backend-for-git-part-2
The fine folks at Enovance have written about the advantages of using Swift as backend for Git. In a recent blog post http://techs.enovance.com/?p=6642 they gave also some details about what happens in Git (server side) when a client pushes or fetches objects. They’ve now shared more operational details on how to handle Swift as a backend to store repositories.
