     OpenStack Compute (Nova) Roadmap for Havana
     <http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/openstack-compute-nova-roadmap-for-havana/>

The Havana design summit was held mid-April.  Since then the Nova team 
has been documenting the Havana roadmap and going full speed ahead on 
development of these features.  The list of features that developers 
have committed to completing for the Havana release is tracked using 
blueprints on Launchpad <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/havana>. 
At the time of writing, there are 74 blueprints listed that cover a wide 
range of development efforts. Russell Bryant 
<http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/>, Nova Tech Lead, highlights 
some of them.

with the earliest incarnations of OpenStack while at Rackspace. 
Cloudscaling's team caught up with him at the OpenStack Summit in 
Portland to get Thierry's insights into the release cycle, governance 
and his wish list for the project.
