Hello everyone, The "Grizzly" development cycle, started 6 months ago, ends today with the immediate release of OpenStack 2013.1. It is the result of the work of 550 different people who contributed code, documentation, or infrastructure configurations. This amazing journey saw the implementation of 232 blueprints and the fixing of 1900 bugs within the 7 integrated projects alone.
