Highlights of the weeks
What people talk about when they talk about OpenStack Cloud
<http://www.mirantis.com/blog/what-people-talk-about-when-they-talk-about-openstack-cloud/>
There’s enough going on in the OpenStack
<http://www.mirantis.com/openstack-services/> ecosystem that you can
pretty much find a comfortable niche drilling down on anything from
hypervisor compatibility to driver support to who’s in the foundation.
Mirantis’ David M. Fishman takes a step back and highlights recent
conversations about OpenStack.

pleased to announce that the decisions have been made and these three

welcome Laura, Anita and Victoria to the OpenStack community.
