   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.

With a flurry of applications, we had a difficult decision in front of 
us, deciding who would be our newest mentored contributors through the 
GNOME Outreach Program for Women 
<https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>. All the applicants 
were enthusiastic and personable, knowledgeable and technical. We’re 
pleased to announce that the decisions have been made and these three 
are going to work on OpenStack full-time from January to March. Please 
welcome Laura, Anita and Victoria to the OpenStack community.
