      OpenStack Juno is here! <http://www.openstack.org/software/juno/>

OpenStack Juno, the tenth release of the open source software for
building public, private, and hybrid clouds has 342 new features to
support software development, big data analysis and application
infrastructure at scale. The OpenStack community continues to attract
the best developers and experts in their disciplines with 1,419
individuals employed by more than 133 organizations
<http://www.openstack.org/foundation/companies/> contributing to the
Juno release.


      Tweaking DefCore to subdivide OpenStack platform (proposal for
      review) <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/10/16/defcore-platform/>

For nearly two years
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/>, the OpenStack
Board has been moving towards creating a common platform definition
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/07/16/openstack-defcore-review-interview-by-jason-baker/>
that can help drive interoperability. At the last meeting
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2014-September/001746.html>,
the Board paused to further review one of the core tenants of the
DefCore process (Item #3
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/CoreDefinition>: Core
definition can be applied equally to all usage models). The following
material will be a major part of the discussion for The OpenStack Board
meeting on Monday 10/20
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/20Oct2014BoardMeeting>.
Comments and suggest welcome!

    The Road To Paris 2014 – Deadlines and Resources

During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the Women of
