Moving forward as a User Experience Team in the OpenStack Juno release cycle http://uxd-stackabledesign.rhcloud.com/moving-forward-user-experience-team-openstack-juno-release-cycle/
The OpenStack Juno Summit in Atlanta https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-atlanta-2014/ was a major turning point for User Experience professionals working on OpenStack. There were 3 specific design sessions around UX work and 1 talk on the persona work https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-atlanta-2014/session-videos/presentation/user-experience-in-the-openstack-community, all with great attendance, and the whole team committed taking a number of actions to take over the course of the Juno development cycle. Liz Blanchard http://uxd-stackabledesign.rhcloud.com/ summarized them quite nicely.
OpenStack Technical Committee Update http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/06/openstack-technical-committee-update/
The OpenStack Technical Committee (TC) meets weekly https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/TechnicalCommittee and recently decided to publish regular updates about the TC to the OpenStack blog. The first post has news about the graduation process, Glance and Designate.
Calling on Security Engineers / Developers / Architects – Time to share your toys http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-June/037413.html
Lets work together and openly on security review and threat analysis for OpenStack. There are currently scores of security reviews taking place on OpenStack architecture, projects and implementations. Robert Clark sent a call for action to OpenStack developers: “All the big players in OpenStack are conducting their own security reviews, we are all finding things that should be addressed in the community and that we are all missing things that others have found too.” Robert’s call is for all the security people out there in the community to come together and share expertise on Threat Modelling/Analysis in OpenStack.
