     OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes
     <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2013/04/19/openstack-docs-and-tooling-in-20-minutes/>

Howto get started with all the tooling and setup needed to build, review, and contribute to OpenStack Documentation. By Joe Heck <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp>.


       How It’s Made: the OpenStack API Reference Page
       <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/14/how-its-made-the-openstack-api-reference-page/>

The site at http://api.openstack.org <http://api.openstack.org/> is a collection of HTML pages, and one page has an especially interesting story about how it is built. Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/> reveals the secret.


     Storage != Transfer
     <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/storage-transfer/>

John Bresnahan argues that concepts of data transfer and data storage should not be conflated into a single solution. He believes that OpenStack can benefit from a new component that offloads the burden of optimally transferring images from existing components like nova-compute and swift.
