The Hong Kong Summit: Why I’m Excited http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/the-hong-kong-summit-why-im-excited/
We asked our community why they’re looking forward to the OpenStack Summit http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/ in Hong Kong next week. We received a number of colorful responses and we’re sharing some of the best here. Have something to add? Let us know why you’re excited for the Summit in the comments!
Reviewing how Blueprints are handled http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/reviewing-how-blueprints-are-handled/
OpenStack Compute Tech Lead Russell Bryant has triggered an important discussion on the OpenStack Development mailing list about the process to review blueprints. The Blueprints wiki page https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints currently assigns to Project Tech Leads the task of assigning priority to the blueprints and Russell is suggesting that a wider group of people in the community shares such responsibility. Join the discussion on the development mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-October/017290.html and in Hong Kong http://openstack.org/summit/.
OpenStack “Core” and Interoperability http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2013/10/30/openstack-core-and-interoperability/
Have you been following the “what is core?” conversation http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/ since the “Incubation Update” committee https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/IncubationUpdate2013 completed its work some time ago? This discussion is going to be the big ticket item during next week’s board meeting https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/4Nov2013BoardMeeting. Mark McLoughlin http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc shares his thoughts and a discussion derived from it on the OpenStack Foundation http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2013-October/001576.html mailing list.
