Network Function Virtualization -- The Opportunity for OpenStack and Open Source <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2014/10/02/network-function-virtualization-the-opportunity-for-openstack-and-open-source/> This week's launch of OPNFV <https://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/09/telcos-mobilizing-to-drive-nfv-adoption/> is a good opportunity to think about a simmering debate in the OpenStack developer community for a while now -- what exactly does NFV have to do with OpenStack, and is it a good thing? Follow Boad Member Mark McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc>'s journey around NFV. #1 OpenStack contributor: all of us <http://ttx.re/largest-openstack-contributor.html> Thierry Carrez <http://ttx.re/> celebrates every little contribution gone into OpenStack. "It doesn't matter who is #1, it matters that we all can contribute, and that we all do contribute. It matters that we keep on making sure everyone can easily contribute. That's what's really important, and I wish we all were celebrating that." OpenStack Havana End of Upstream Support Lifetime <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2014-September/000286.html> The OpenStack Havana 2013.2.4 integrated point release[1] last Tuesday, September 23, marks the end of stable support for OpenStack Havana. 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.
