Introducing Murano: Bringing Windows Environments to OpenStack
<http://www.mirantis.com/blog/introducing-murano-bringing-windows-environmen…>
In response to growing demand for deploying and running Windows based
applications on OpenStack cloud, the team at Mirantis started Murano
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Murano>: a native OpenStack component
that enables fast provisioning and operation of Windows Environments on
demand.
Who Wrote OpenStack Grizzly Docs?
<http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/26/who-wrote-openstack-grizzly-docs/>
Sneaking a peek at the numbers for documentation along with the code
should show us pointers about docs keeping up with code. Anne Gentle
<http://justwriteclick.com/> dives into the documentation with data and
insights.
“I” release cycle naming
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming#.22I.22_release_cycle_naming>
The next OpenStack summit will happen in Hong Kong. That creates a
pretty challenging naming problem, since there is no word starting with
“i’ in classic transliteration of Chinese words. So the Technical
Committee is willing to bend the rules /a little/ to extend the range of
candidates… Feel free to add suggestions to the list on the wiki.
Stacker Voices: Monty Taylor, HP
<http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/stacker-voices-monty-taylor-hp/>
Cloudscaling Engineering <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/> talked
with Monty Taylor of HP (reaching rockstar status also with a wired.com
<http://www.wired.com/> profile
<http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/04/new-hackers-taylor/> this
week) at the OpenStack Summit in Portland. Monty leads the CI
(continuous innovation) project for OpenStack. In that role, he and his
group have built testing systems that have made it possible for the
OpenStack project to scale from a few dozen contributors for the Bexar
release to more than 700 developers now pushing hundreds of patches
daily to OpenStack. Watch the video on YouTube
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqw4zxqPelc>.
A little tracing hack <http://markmail.org/message/kjv4kry67732nawb>
Timothy Daly at Yahoo! added metrics and tracing for OpenStack and
released tomograph <https://github.com/timjr/tomograph>: a tool to see
what and how OpenStack is doing behind the curtains.

<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/contribute-to-openstack-activity-boar…>
We’ve released the complete documentation

Insights <http://activity.openstack.org/data/>, with binaries and source
code downloadable from Sourceforge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikidsopenstack> while the OpenStack
Dash <http://activity.openstack.org/dash/> tools are the vanilla
MetricsGrimoire <http://metricsgrimoire.github.io/> set hosted on github
<https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire>. The code is free as in freedom so
you’re welcome to play with it.
How to run pylint with few false positives
<http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-f…>
Testing your python code can get complex and with pylint, you /will /see
false positives, meaning it will complain some lines as bugs that are
actually correct. lintstack is designed to address this problem: *reduce
false positives from pylint as much as possible without sacrificing
accuracy*. Yun Mao
<http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack>
describes how lintstack works.
