Patchwork Onion delivers stability & innovation: the graphics that explains how we determine OpenStack Core http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/08/12/patchwork-onion/
The OpenStack board, through the DefCore committee http://bit.ly/DefCore, has been working to define "core" for commercial users http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/05/20/defcore-three-cases/ using a combination of minimum required capabilities (APIs) and code (Designated Sections). These minimums are decided on a per project basis so it can be difficult to visualize the impact on the overall effect on the Integrated Release. Rob Hirschfeld and Joshua McKenty have created the patchwork onion graphic to help illustrate how core relates to the integrated release.
OpenStack Upstream Training in Paris http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/08/openstack-upstream-training-in-paris/
We're doing it again, bigger: the OpenStack Foundation is delivering a training program to accelerate the speed at which new OpenStack developers are successful at integrating their own roadmap into that of the OpenStack project. If you're a new OpenStack contributor or plan on becoming one soon, you should sign up for the next OpenStack Upstream Training in Paris, November 1-2. http://openstackupstream.eventbrite.com/ Participation is strongly advised also for first time participants to OpenStack Design Summit. We're doing it again before the Paris Summit, as we did in Atlanta http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/05/openstack-upstream-training-in-atlanta-a-big-success/, only bigger.
Using gerrymander, a client API and command line tool for gerrit http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-August/043085.html
Over the past couple of months Daniel P. Berrange has worked on creating a python library and command line tool for dealing with gerrit. Gerrymander was born out of his frustration with the inefficiency of handling reviews through the gerrit web UI. Reviewers can use gerrymander to query gerrit for reviews and quickly get a list of comments filtering out comments by bots.
The Road To Paris 2014 -- Deadlines and Resources
During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the Women of OpenStack to frame up more defined goals and line out a blueprint for the group moving forward. We encourage all women in the community to complete this very short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V39BL7Hto provide input for the group.
