      Patchwork Onion delivers stability & innovation: the graphics that
      explains how we determine OpenStack Core
      <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/08/12/patchwork-onion/>

The OpenStack board, through the DefCore committee
<http://bit.ly/DefCore>, has been working to define "core" for
commercial users
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/05/20/defcore-three-cases/> using a
combination of minimum required capabilities (APIs) and code (Designated
Sections).  These minimums are decided on a per project basis so it can
be difficult to visualize the impact on the overall effect on the
Integrated Release. Rob Hirschfeld and Joshua McKenty have created the
patchwork onion graphic to help illustrate how core relates to the
integrated release.


      OpenStack Upstream Training in Paris
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/08/openstack-upstream-training-in-paris/>

We're doing it again, bigger: the OpenStack Foundation is delivering a
training program to accelerate the speed at which new OpenStack
developers are successful at integrating their own roadmap into that of
the OpenStack project. If you're a new OpenStack contributor or plan on
becoming one soon, you should sign up for the next OpenStack Upstream
Training in Paris, November 1-2.
<http://openstackupstream.eventbrite.com/> Participation is strongly
advised also for first time participants to OpenStack Design Summit.
We're doing it again before the Paris Summit, as we did in Atlanta
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/05/openstack-upstream-training-in-atlanta-a-big-success/>,
only bigger.


      Using gerrymander, a client API and command line tool for gerrit
      <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-August/043085.html>

Over the past couple of months Daniel P. Berrange has worked on creating
a python library and command line tool for dealing with gerrit.
Gerrymander was born out of his frustration with the inefficiency of
handling reviews through the gerrit web UI. Reviewers can use
gerrymander to query gerrit for reviews and quickly get a list of
comments filtering out comments by bots.


    The Road To Paris 2014 -- Deadlines and Resources

During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the Women of
OpenStack to frame up more defined goals and line out a blueprint for
the group moving forward. We encourage all women in the community to
complete this very short survey
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V39BL7H>to provide input for the group.
