artifacts required for vendors using the OpenStack trademark

releases. Rob will be doing two sessions about DefCore next week (will
be recorded): Tues Dec 16 at 9:45 am PST- OpenStack Podcast #14 with
Jeff Dickey <http://goo.gl/pR41zD> and Thurs Dec 18 at 9:00 am PST –

      Keeping up to date with OpenStack Blueprints
      <http://technodrone.blogspot.com/2014/12/keeping-up-to-date-with-openstack.html>

OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> is a living product – and because
it is community driven - changes are being proposed almost constantly.
The specifications approved in each project are published on
http://specs.openstack.org <http://specs.openstack.org/> as html pages
and RSS feeds. Maish Saidel-Keesing
<http://technodrone.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenStack> compiled an
OPML file <http://maishsk.com/blog/files/opml.opml> with all the current
projects that you can add to your favorite RSS reader.

      Ask OpenStack passes 10,000 questions
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/12/ask-openstack-passes-10000-questions/>

Recently, our Q&A site, Ask OpenStack passed an important milestone –
more than 10,000 questions. Since it was launched by community manager
Stefano Maffulli with the help of our tame AskBot <http://askbot.com/>
developer Evgeny Fadeev <https://github.com/evgenyfadeev> early last
year, we’ve had great support from our entire community – users and
vendor support staff alike getting on there and helping each other out.
Everybody can give answers: read how to give answers
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators> and head out
to answer questions on Ask OpenStack
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/feed/%20https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:unanswered/sort:age-desc/page:1/>.
