      Spinning up OpenStack “DefCore” Committee by spotting elephants
      <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/11/22/defcore/>

This week, Joshua McKenty
<http://insights.wired.com/profile/JoshuaMcKenty>, Rob Hirschfeld
<http://robhirschfeld.com/> and a handful of interested individuals
(board member Eileen Evans included) met to start organizing the
DefCore* Committee
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee>. This
standing committee was established by an OpenStack Foundation resolution
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2013-October/001568.html>
just before the Hong Kong Summit. This action was an immediate result of
the unanimous passage of the 10 Principles that
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/13/openstack-core-positions/>Rob was
driving <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/13/openstack-core-positions/>
in the DefCore “Spider
<http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/23/introducing-the-openstack-spider-graph-untangling-our-web-of-interdependencies/>”
cycle. Read the summary of the outcomes of the first meeting.


      How to get new questions on Ask OpenStack via email
      <http://maffulli.net/2013/11/20/how-to-get-new-questions-on-ask-openstack-via-email/>

Email is still one of the best mechanism to get push notifications, so
getting automatic nudges via email from Ask OpenStack is useful. I took
some time to document how to get an email message every time a new
question is asked on Ask OpenStack <https://ask.openstack.org/>.


      Who Wrote OpenStack Havana Docs?
      <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/11/18/who-wrote-openstack-havana-docs/>

Indulging with our own Anne Gentl in the glorious beauty of numbers and
metrics, following up on a similar post about previous release, Who
Wrote OpenStack Grizzly Doc
<http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/26/who-wrote-openstack-grizzly-docs/>s?
At the time Grizzly had 79 docs contributors overall, with 3 of them
writing half of the changes for Grizzly. This time the team grew to 130
docs contributors with 7 of them writing just over half the changes in
overarching install/config/deploy/operations guides. Progress! We also
had at least three supporting companies hire writers dedicated to
OpenStack upstream docs.
