OpenStack Operations Guide 
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/OpenStackOpsGuide.jpg>And 
here it is...the OpenStack Operations Guide 
<http://docs.openstack.org/ops/>. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or 
print 
<http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/openstack-operations-guide/13692962>. 
The electronic formats are free to download so click away. The print 
version costs $29.90 and all proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to 
support more book sprints like the one that produced this book. Read 
from the protagonists how they did it: Lorin <http://Lorin/>Hochstein

      Case Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/case-study-on-openstack-cloud-in-health-care/>

Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting to 
opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data storage, 
elastic compute service resources, and data analytics. Given the 
powerful forces changing the economics of the overall health care 
marketplace, technologies that can address security and compliance at 
reduced cost are getting a lot of attention.


      OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly)
      release.
      <http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5458/swift-and-quotas-in-upcoming-1-8-0-grizzly-release>

OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware 
for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, 
container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their 
containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. 
A «super user» with the reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit 
for an account and the account will not be able to have new 
objects/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the 
limited quotas.


      OpenStack Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements
      <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/03/08/openstack-updated-individual-contributor-license-agreements/>

Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor License 
Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a new individual 
agreement. We graphed the data of the rate of signups: almost 400 
developers signed in less than a week.
