      How is your OpenStack team organized?
      <http://maffulli.net/2014/09/25/how-is-your-openstack-team-organized/>

I’ve been collecting a lot of good insights talking to directors and
managers about how their companies are organized to contribute to
OpenStack. For geographic reasons I have mostly gathered comments from
people between San Francisco and Silicon Valley and I’d like to expand
the research. Fill in this brief survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15vX9pGlvBVftq4YlD6vE0rOMKq9e3U25Qh_9gJ6Ky_4/viewform>
or contact Stefano Maffulli directly via email (replying to this message).


      Journey of IPv6 in OpenStack
      <http://techs.enovance.com/7199/journey-of-ipv6-in-openstack>

With the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 is no longer a choice but is
now a necessity, even more so in case of a cloud environment. Sridhar
Gaddamat <http://techs.enovance.com/7199/journey-of-ipv6-in-openstack>
shares his notes on how IPv6 support has evolved in OpenStack with
references at appropriate places to where you will be able to find more
information.
