      OpenStack Technical Committee Update (June 25)
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/06/openstack-technical-committee-update-june-25/>

The TC is busy discussing OpenStack Glance‘smission, evolving from
cataloging and serving Nova disk images to cataloging and serving other
artifacts consumed by other OpenStack services, like for example Heat
templates. This scope evolution has been under discussion
<https://review.openstack.org/98002> at the last two meetings. Read the
other things that keep the TC busy on OpenStack blog.

      A Path Towards Contributing (via Commits) in Open Stack
      <http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=602>

Matt Fischer <http://www.mattfischer.com/blog> set himself a goal to
contribute 12 patches to OpenStack during 2014: he reached the goal and
shared how he did it.

      On bug reporting… <http://kashyapc.com/2014/06/22/on-bug-reporting/>

Speaking of contributing, sending bug reports is a good way to
contribute to OpenStack (together with doing code reviews). Kashyap
Chamarthy <http://kashyapc.com/> has a very good guide on how to file a
useful bug report.

      Engage in technical discussions keeping in mind the OpenStack
      promise
      <http://maffulli.net/2014/06/20/engage-in-technical-discussions-keeping-in-mind-the-openstack-promise/>

There is a conversation about what is Cinder itself and what’s the role
of its drivers. It’s a highly technical debate and a very important one,
where I think this promise needs to be reminded: There will be no
“Enterprise Edition”. John Griffith
<http://griffithscorner.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/the-problem-with-sds-under-cinder/>
and Ken Hui
<http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2014/06/17/the-problem-sds-under-openstack-cinder-solves>
have a lot of interesting things to say about this and I suggest you to
read their posts and read the conversation on this proposed
specification <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/101688/>. Then we may
want to have a wider conversation about Software Defined Storage (SDS)
and Cinder.
