The results are in – Manila is an OpenStack incubated project! <http://netapp.github.io/openstack/2014/08/26/manila-incubated/> OpenStack Technical Committee voted Manila into official incubation status. The TC formally accepted the creation of shared file systems program, as well as the incubation of the Manila project. OpenStack as Layers <https://dague.net/2014/08/26/openstack-as-layers/> Sean Dague <https://dague.net/> has a good suggestion for representing OpenStack’s pieces and how they stack up together to realize Infrastructure As A Service. His post expands on the timely topic of what should be part of an integrated release. Keystone is not an authentication service <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/?p=130> Nathan Kinder <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/> dives deeper into Keystone. While many would argue that Keystone in OpenStack world has something to do with authentication, Nathan argues that Keystone’s main purpose is authorization within an OpenStack deployment. While it’s true that Keystone can perform authentication itself, Nathan argues that doesn’t mean that it should be used for authentication. The Road To Paris 2014 – Deadlines and Resources During the Paris Summit there will be a working session for the Women of OpenStack to frame up more defined goals and line out a blueprint for the group moving forward.
