      Why you should be reviewing more OpenStack code
      <https://dague.net/2014/02/28/why-you-should-be-reviewing-more-openstack-code/>

Icehouse 3 is upon us, and as someone that is on a bunch of core review
teams, it means a steady drum beat of everyone asking how do they get
core reviewers to review their code. Sean Dague explains quite well why
you should be doing code reviews.


      Trusted Cloud computing with Intel TXT: The challenge
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/>

In today’s connected environments, attacks on compute infrastructure are
ubiquitous. Major players have been compromised by hackers and malware,
with damages inflicted both to their reputation and their business.
Protecting the infrastructure from external and internal threats is an
important part of operating production grade cloud environments.
Christian Huebner <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/> introduces
how OpenStack integrates with TXT.


      Our Cloud in Havana
      <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-cloud-in-havana.html>

Upgrading a nearly 50,000 core cloud from Grizzly to Havana can be done
with a series of steps, each of which can have short periods of reduced
functionality but with constant VM availability. Tim Bell
<http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/> tells us how CERN
upgraded its OpenStack cloud.


      Status of the OpenStack port to Python 3
      <http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2>

Python 3 has been around for about 5 years, and we have excellent
reasons <http://techs.enovance.com/6521/openstack_python3> to make sure
OpenStack runs well on it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In his
article, Cyril Roelandt
<http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2>
explains what works, what doesn’t, and what *you* can do to help.
