      A plea from an OpenStack user
      <http://markmail.org/message/5pg7nssyho5cz4ev>

Ryan Lane tells the story of his upgrade from Diablo to Essex and gives
very constructive contributions to the developers and documentation
writers for the pain points he had to face. The thread generated from
his comments is a tribute to civil discussions.


      A call for document writers: it's that time of the release!
      <http://markmail.org/message/uans5wujuktourya>

Now that we're in feature freeze period, it's a great time to look at
what docs are needed for Folsom. You can help with documentation in
several ways. Anne Gentle gave some ideas.


      Cyberduck with support for Keystone-based OpenStack Swift
      <http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=916>

Zmanda contributed support for Keyston-based authentication to
Cyberduck, the popular open source storage browser for several cloud
storage platforms.
