      Introducing Murano: Bringing Windows Environments to OpenStack
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/introducing-murano-bringing-windows-environment-to-openstack/>

In response to growing demand for deploying and running Windows based 
applications on OpenStack cloud, the team at Mirantis started Murano 
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Murano>: a native OpenStack component 
that enables fast provisioning and operation of Windows Environments on 
demand.


      Who Wrote OpenStack Grizzly Docs?
      <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/26/who-wrote-openstack-grizzly-docs/>

Sneaking a peek at the numbers for documentation along with the code 
should show us pointers about docs keeping up with code. Anne Gentle 
<http://justwriteclick.com/> dives into the documentation with data and 
insights.


      “I” release cycle naming
      <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming#.22I.22_release_cycle_naming>

The next OpenStack summit will happen in Hong Kong. That creates a 
pretty challenging naming problem, since there is no word starting with 
“i’ in classic transliteration of Chinese words. So the Technical 
Committee is willing to bend the rules /a little/ to extend the range of 
candidates… Feel free to add suggestions to the list on the wiki.


      Stacker Voices: Monty Taylor, HP
      <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/stacker-voices-monty-taylor-hp/>

Cloudscaling Engineering <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/> talked 
with Monty Taylor of HP (reaching rockstar status also with a wired.com 
<http://www.wired.com/> profile 
<http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/04/new-hackers-taylor/> this 
week) at the OpenStack Summit in Portland. Monty leads the CI 
(continuous innovation) project for OpenStack. In that role, he and his 
group have built testing systems that have made it possible for the 
OpenStack project to scale from a few dozen contributors for the Bexar 
release to more than 700 developers now pushing hundreds of patches 
daily to OpenStack. Watch the video on YouTube

      A little tracing hack <http://markmail.org/message/kjv4kry67732nawb>

released tomograph <https://github.com/timjr/tomograph>: a tool to see 
what and how OpenStack is doing behind the curtains.

      How to run pylint with few false positives
      <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-false.html>

Testing your python code can get complex and with pylint, you /will /see 
false positives, meaning it will complain some lines as bugs that are 
actually correct. lintstack is designed to address this problem: *reduce 
false positives from pylint as much as possible without sacrificing 
accuracy*. Yun Mao 
<http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack> 
describes how lintstack works.
