      OpenStack Icehouse is here
      <http://www.openstack.org/software/icehouse>

OpenStack Icehouse, the ninth release of the open source software for
building public, private, and hybrid clouds, has nearly 350 new features
to support software development, managing data and application
infrastructure at scale. The OpenStack community continues to attract
the best developers and experts in their disciplines with 1,202
individuals employed by more than 120 organizations
<http://www.openstack.org/foundation/companies> contributing to the
Icehouse release.

      Running with scissors > DefCore “must-pass” Road Show Starts
      [VIDEOS] <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/04/11/defcore-road-show/>

The OpenStack DefCore committee
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee> has been
very active during this cycle turning the core definition principles
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/01/06/openstack-defcore/> into an actual
list of “must-pass” capabilities (working page
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av62KoL8f9kAdFo4V1ZLUFM0OHlrRnFpQUkxSHJ5QWc&usp=drive_web#gid=6>).
 This in turn gives the community something tangible enough to review
and evaluate.
