      The Hong Kong Summit: Why I’m Excited
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/the-hong-kong-summit-why-im-excited/>

We asked our community why they’re looking forward to the OpenStack
Summit
<http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/> in
Hong Kong next week. We received a number of colorful responses and
we’re sharing some of the best here. Have something to add?  Let us know
why you’re excited for the Summit in the comments!


      Reviewing how Blueprints are handled
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/10/reviewing-how-blueprints-are-handled/>

OpenStack Compute Tech Lead Russell Bryant has triggered an important
discussion on the OpenStack Development mailing list about the process
to review blueprints. The Blueprints wiki page
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints> currently assigns to
Project Tech Leads the task of assigning priority to the blueprints and
Russell is suggesting that a wider group of people in the community
shares such responsibility. Join the discussion on the development
mailing list
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-October/017290.html>
and in Hong Kong <http://openstack.org/summit/>.


      OpenStack “Core” and Interoperability
      <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2013/10/30/openstack-core-and-interoperability/>

Have you been following the “what is core?” conversation
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/> since the
“Incubation Update” committee
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/IncubationUpdate2013>
completed its work some time ago? This discussion is going to be the big
ticket item during next week’s board meeting
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/4Nov2013BoardMeeting>.
Mark McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc> shares his thoughts and
a discussion derived from it on the OpenStack Foundation
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2013-October/001576.html>
mailing list.
