OpenStack DefCore Enters Execution Phase. Help! <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/12/11/openstack-defcore-havana/> OpenStack DefCore Committee has established the principles and first artifacts required for vendors using the OpenStack trademark <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreLexicon>. Over the next release cycle, we will be applying these to the Icehouse and Juno releases. Rob will be doing two sessions about DefCore next week (will be recorded): Tues Dec 16 at 9:45 am PST- OpenStack Podcast #14 with Jeff Dickey <http://goo.gl/pR41zD> and Thurs Dec 18 at 9:00 am PST – Online Meetup about DefCore with Rafael Knuth <http://rafstack.tumblr.com/post/104926788033/online-meetup-defcore-making-openstack-standard>. Keeping up to date with OpenStack Blueprints <http://technodrone.blogspot.com/2014/12/keeping-up-to-date-with-openstack.html> OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> is a living product – and because it is community driven - changes are being proposed almost constantly. The specifications approved in each project are published on http://specs.openstack.org <http://specs.openstack.org/> as html pages and RSS feeds. Maish Saidel-Keesing <http://technodrone.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenStack> compiled an OPML file <http://maishsk.com/blog/files/opml.opml> with all the current projects that you can add to your favorite RSS reader. Korea User Group got "The community of the Year" award <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/user-committee/2014-December/000334.html> Great news for the whole OpenStack community: OpenStack Korea User Group received “The community of the Year” award from Korea Open Source Software Association. Congratulations to all for the amazing work you've been doing all these years. The Korean user group doesn't rest on their laurels and they're busy organizing the OpenStack Day Korea 2015: check the sponsorship opportunities <https://www.dropbox.com/s/cz1i3h2kho40vej/OpenStack%20Day%20Sponsor%20Program%20%28EN%29.pdf?dl=0>. Ask OpenStack passes 10,000 questions <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/12/ask-openstack-passes-10000-questions/> Recently, our Q&A site, Ask OpenStack passed an important milestone – more than 10,000 questions. Since it was launched by community manager Stefano Maffulli with the help of our tame AskBot <http://askbot.com/> developer Evgeny Fadeev <https://github.com/evgenyfadeev> early last year, we’ve had great support from our entire community – users and vendor support staff alike getting on there and helping each other out. Everybody can give answers: read how to give answers <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators> and head out to answer questions on Ask OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/feed/%20https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:unanswered/sort:age-desc/page:1/>.
