      Marconi to AMQP: See you later
      <http://blog.flaper87.com/post/53a09586d987d23f49c777bf/>

In the last couple of weeks, Marconi's team has been doing lots of
research around AMQP and the possibility of supporting traditional
queuing systems. Flavio Percoco <http://blog.flaper87.com/>, believed
with others that this capability would be useful. However, after digging
more into what's needed and what supporting traditional brokers means
for Marconi, the community changed its mind and now believessupporting
such systems doesn't make much sense anymore. This post explains why

      Tracking multiple OpenStack projects using StoryBoard
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/tracking-multiple-openstack-projects-using-storyboard/>

StoryBoard <https://storyboard.openstack.org/> is a new task tracking
system which is aimed at the systems where projects are closely related,
and OpenStack is definitely a good example of that. In inter-related
systems like OpenStack, a feature or a bug usually affects more than one
project, so it should be tracked simultaneously across those projects.
The proof-of-concept was presented in the Havana release cycle by
OpenStack release manager Thierry Carrez, and active development started
during the Icehouse development cycle. The project is now driven by
three major contributor companies: the OpenStack Foundation, Mirantis,
and HP.


      Breaking news:OpenStack Object Storage 'Storage policies' merge
      today <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/101409/>

The series of patches that will eventually lead to Swift 2.0 merged
today. Many Swift contributors have been working on storage policies for
quite some time now. It's a huge feature and improvement to Swift that
enables a ton of new use cases. Storage policies allow deployers to
configure multiple object rings and expose them to end users on a
per-container basis. Deployers can create policies based on hardware
performance, regions, or other criteria and independently choose
different replication factors on them. A policy is set on a Swift
container at container creation time and cannot be changed. Full docs
<http://swift.openstack.org/overview_policies.html> and more details
about the roadmap in this message by John Dickinson
