OpenStack Turns 4 – It’s Time to Celebrate the Community! http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/06/openstack-turns-4-its-time-to-celebrate-the-community/
OpenStack celebrates its 4th birthday July 19, and we’re celebrating with the entire OpenStack community during July! User maturity, software maturity and a focus on cloud software operations are rapidly emerging for OpenStack and none of it would be possible without the quickly growing OpenStack community. There are now more than 70 global user groups and 17,000 community members across 139 countries, spanning more than 370 organizations. This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community members and our users.
OpenStack Technical Committee Update (July 1) http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/07/openstack-technical-committee-update-july-1/
This week the TC held a special meeting http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2014/tc.2014-07-01-20.02.html entirely focused on clarifying some points around DefCore and providing some responses to the questions DefCore posed to the TC. A must-read.
We need to start uncovering OpenStack’s Hidden Influencers http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/07/01/hidden-influencers/
After the summit (#afterstack https://twitter.com/search?q=%23afterstack&src=typd), a few people compared notes and found a common theme in an under served but critical part of the OpenStack community. Sean Roberts http://sarob.com/2014/07/hidden-influencers/, Allison Randall http://allisonrandal.com/2014/07/01/hidden-influencers/, and Rob Hirschfeld are expanding the discussion to the broader community in a series of blog posts.
