Mentoring others and yourself <http://blog.flaper87.com/post/5437068bd987d26792ce7139/> While this topic would have been good for the Tips-and-tricks section below, I think it deserves to open this week's wrap-up. With a new session of Outreach Program for Women about to start for OpenStack, our good mentor Flavio Percoco <http://blog.flaper87.com/>gives some ideas on being a good mentor. OpenStack Technical Committee Update <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/10/openstack-technical-committee-update-2/> The last meeting of the current Technical Committee before the elections (which started today). Vishvananda Ishaya <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/10/openstack-technical-committee-update-2/> wraps up the conversations around graduation, the contributor license agreement and the "big tent". Next steps for 'Hidden Influencers' <http://maffulli.net/2014/10/07/next-steps-for-hidden-influencers/> With Paris only weeks away it's time to announce that we have a time and place to meet people whose job is to decide what OpenStack means for their company. The OpenStack Foundation has offered a room to meet in Paris on Monday, November 3rd, in the afternoon <http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/268a9853812c22ca8d0636b9d8f0c831#.VDMxjSldVRg>: please add the meeting to your schedule <http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/268a9853812c22ca8d0636b9d8f0c831#.VDMxjSldVRg> and join the mailing list <http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/product-wg>. 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.
