      December 2014 OpenStack Infrastructure User Manual Sprint
      <http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=9952>

During this week the Infrastructure team released a significant
milestone for the Infrastructure User Manual. The manual consolidates
documentation for Developers, Core Reviewers and Project Drivers, which
was spread across wiki pages, project-specific documentation files and
general institutional knowledge. The manual is starting to look great
and a lot of wiki pages have been declared obsolete meanwhile.

leaner process
<http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html#creating-a-service-account>.

      My Key Learning from Paris <http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=610>

Matt Fischer <http://www.mattfischer.com/blog> “learned a bunch of
things in Paris: French food is amazing
<http://www.yelp.com/biz/le-volant-basque-paris>, always upgrade OVS”
and “All operators have the same problems.” The result of his and
others' realization is the beginnings of an Operations Project
