Open Stack

Hey OpenStackers,

based on the latest discussions, it was asked if we can try to post 
regular updates of what is happening in our community (mostly on Askbot 
forum: http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com).

In this e-mail, I'd like to summarize ongoing issues and try to cover 
updates weekly (or each 14 days - based on content).

Issues by priority:
