Open Stack

    Highlights of the week


      G stands for Grizzly <http://markmail.org/message/nrgea2jdl5ms4hdp>

Results of the naming poll for next OpenStack release are in, and the G
release will be named "*Grizzly*".  The regular poll selected "Gazelle"
(35 votes), with "Gilroy" (27 votes) being a close second. But the
Grizzly revolt poll showed overwhelming support for the "Grizzly" name
(88 votes) rather than going with the results of the regular poll (46
votes).

The /Waldon exception/ (accepting elements of the state/country flag in
addition to city/county names) will be added to our naming rules for
future naming contests :)


      Some clarifications about Cinder
      <http://markmail.org/message/bfdqiclqtkv2tqql>

With the promotion of Cinder to OpenStack core project, Cinder's PTL
John Griffith explained what the project does and what the future
release, Grizzly, may look like. OpenStack operators are invited to give
their opinion and help developers take the best decision.
