OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2013/04/19/openstack-docs-and-tooling-in-20-minutes/
Howto get started with all the tooling and setup needed to build, review, and contribute to OpenStack Documentation. By Joe Heck http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp.
How It’s Made: the OpenStack API Reference Page http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/14/how-its-made-the-openstack-api-reference-page/
The site at http://api.openstack.org http://api.openstack.org/ is a collection of HTML pages, and one page has an especially interesting story about how it is built. Anne Gentle http://justwriteclick.com/ reveals the secret.
Storage != Transfer https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/storage-transfer/
John Bresnahan argues that concepts of data transfer and data storage should not be conflated into a single solution. He believes that OpenStack can benefit from a new component that offloads the burden of optimally transferring images from existing components like nova-compute and swift.
