      An Ideal OpenStack Developer
      <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2014/06/06/an-ideal-openstack-developer/>

In a long piece, Mark McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc> thinks
about the velocity OpenStack achieved and how it has managed to attract
an unusual number of contributors and, for such a complex project, made
it relatively easy for tThe way I feel when upgrading my OpenStack
cloudhem to contribute. He attempts to define The Prototypical OpenStack
Developer. The ideal that we should aspire to. The standard that all
contributors should be held to. And asks questions at the end.


      Analysis of April 2014 TC election
      <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2014/06/06/analysis-of-april-2014-tc-election/>

Thierry Carrez <http://fnords.wordpress.com/> found time to analyze the
results of the recent 2014 election to renew 7 of the 13 Technical
Commitee’s members. It seems we have ‘currents’ among voters, from the
/foodie /party to the /French /one.


      Understanding OpenStack Designated Code Sections – Three critical
      questions
      <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/06/05/designated-code-sections/>

After nearly a year of discussion, the OpenStack board launched the
DefCore process
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee> with 10
principles <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/CoreDefinition>
that set us on path towards a validated interoperability standard
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreLexicon>.   We
created the concept of “designated sections” to address concerns that
using API tests to determine core would undermine commercial and
community investment in a working, shared upstream implementation.
Designated sections provide the “you must include this” part of the core
definition.  Having common code as part of core is a central part of how
DefCore is driving OpenStack operability.


      State of Application Developer Experience with OpenStack
      <http://engineeredweb.com/blog/2014/state-app-dev-with-openstack/>

When Matt Farina <http://engineeredweb.com/tag/OpenStack%20Planet/>
first started writing applications that ran in OpenStack
<http://openstack.org/> clouds or worked against the APIs the experience
was painful. Things are improving but his post reminds us that we have
plenty of opportunities to improve.
