      The challenge of the network
      <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/the-challenge-of-the-network/>

Lorin Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/> shared a very 
detailed story about debugging the network in OpenStack-powered 
instances. The story starts with a familiar message: I can't connect to 
the instance. Hopefully his story will be shared by generations of new 
OpenStack users and become legend.


      Travel less, save more: introducing the OpenStack volume affinity
      filter
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/travel-less-save-more-introducing-openstack-volume-affinity-filter/>

It is a common desire to have some storage space associated with an 
instance running on cloud. It is also a common desire to have access to 
it be as fast as possible. OpenStack doesn't provide a way to fine-tune 
this particular option out of the box. Mirantis engineer Alexey 
Ovchinnikov <http://www.mirantis.com/author/alexey-ovchinnikov/> 
discusses how Mirantis implemented just such an extension, what 
roadblocks have already been encountered, and what problems one may 
encounter when using it.

Director Rob Hirschfeld <http://robhirschfeld.com/> shares his thoughts 
about OpenStack leadership, open source collaboration and community. 
What are your thoughts on the matter?
