Writing Your First OpenStack Application <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/07/writing-your-first-openstack-application/> Ever thought about what it takes to write a scalable cloud application using an OpenStack SDK? Thanks to a small team’s heroic effort, there’s now a guide for that <http://developer.openstack.org/firstapp-libcloud/getting_started.html>! Dive into Zuul – Gated commit system <http://techs.enovance.com/7542/dive-into-zuul-gated-commit-system-2> Zuul <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/zuul> is software developed by the OpenStack community <https://www.openstack.org/>. It was developed as an efficient gated commit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gated_Commit> system, allowing projects to merge patches only after they pass a series of tests. It reduces the probability of breaking the master branch, for instance when unit tests or functional tests no longer pass on the tip of master. Fabien Boucher <http://techs.enovance.com/7542/dive-into-zuul-gated-commit-system-2> explains how Zuul works and clarifies some concepts through simple examples. 5 years of OpenStack – it’s time to celebrate the community! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2015/06/openstack-turns-5-its-time-to-celebrate-the-community/> OpenStack celebrates its 5th birthday <http://www.openstack.org/birthday> July 19, and we’re celebrating with the entire OpenStack community during July! Cloud interoperability and support for developer productivity have been focuses for the OpenStack project this year, and none of it would be possible without the quickly growing OpenStack community.
