My take on OpenStack proects, Congress, part 1 of 10 http://sarob.com/2014/03/my-take-on-openstack-projects-congress-part-1-of-10/
Sean Roberts http://sarob.com/ started a series of posts about OpenStack projects that he thinks are critical and risk of getting lost in the noise.
An Icehouse Sneak Peek – OpenStack Compute (Nova) http://redhatstackblog.redhat.com/2014/03/11/an-icehouse-sneak-peek-openstack-compute-nova/
It seems like it was only yesterday that the OpenStack community found itself gathering in Hong Kong to set the design goals for the Icehouse release. As we entered March development was still progressing at a fever pitch in the lead up to the feature freeze https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/FeatureFreeze for the release but now the dust has started to settle and we are able to start getting a real feel for what OpenStack users and operators can look forward to in the Icehouse release.
People don’t like to queue up http://blog.flaper87.com/post/531cd585d987d24e83f082a5/
