The OpenStack community continues to attract the best developers and experts in their disciplines with 1,202 individuals employed by more than 120 organizations <http://www.openstack.org/foundation/companies> contributing to the Icehouse release. * The official press release <http://www.openstack.org/icehouse/press-release/> * The release <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release>notes <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes> * The source code <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Getting_The_Code> * The Icehouse Activity Report <http://blog.bitergia.com/2014/04/17/the-openstack-icehouse-release-activity-and-organizations/> * The Webinar: OpenStack Icehouse Release Update <https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/499/107965> Running with scissors > DefCore “must-pass” Road Show Starts [VIDEOS] <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/04/11/defcore-road-show/> The OpenStack DefCore committee <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/DefCoreCommittee> has been very active during this cycle turning the core definition principles <http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/01/06/openstack-defcore/> into an actual list of “must-pass” capabilities (working page <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av62KoL8f9kAdFo4V1ZLUFM0OHlrRnFpQUkxSHJ5QWc&usp=drive_web#gid=6>).
