     Connecting the dots: Dell stays course on OpenStack private
     <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/05/23/dell-stays-course-on-openstack-private-2/>

OpenStack Foundation board member Rob Hirschfeld 
<http://robhirschfeld.com/> summarizes the /increasing level of 
investment/ in OpenStack-powered private cloud solutions (Dell 
<http://jobs.dell/>is hiring!

Among the things highlighted, the recent announcements are about 
increasing investment where Dell is already successful

accelerating with new features (such as leadership in HyperV enablement

     An introductory tour of OpenStack Cloud Messaging as a Service
     <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/an-introductory-tour-of-openstack-cloud-messaging-as-a-service/>

The need for an OpenStack Messaging Service was recognized by the San 
Diego Grizzly Summit, and in an unconference track design meeting on the 
last day, a crowd of interested people met, talked out some 
requirements, and from that the OpenStack Message Bus 
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Marconi> project was born. It was 
codenamed "Marconi", in honor of Guglielmo Marconi 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi>, the inventor of 
wireless messaging. The Marconi team collaborates on Launchpad 
<https://launchpad.net/marconi>.


     Working with the OpenStack Code Review and CI system -- Chef
     Edition
     <http://www.joinfu.com/2013/05/working-with-the-openstack-code-review-and-ci-system-chef-edition/>

For too long, the state of the OpenStack Chef world had been one of 
duplicative effort, endless forks of Chef cookbooks, and little 
integration with how many of the OpenStack projects choose to control 
source code and integration testing. Recently, however, the Chef + 
OpenStack community has been getting its proverbial act together. Folks 
from lots of companies have come together and pushed to align efforts to 
produce a set of well-documented, flexible, but focused Chef cookbooks 
that install and configure OpenStack services. StackForge now hosting a 
set of Chef cookbooks for OpenStack.


     Virtualizing legacy hardware in OpenStack <http://dachary.org/?p=1991>

Loïc Dachary <http://dachary.org/> summarizes how the French non-profit 
organization April <http://april.org/> migrated the workload of a five 
years old hardware to OpenStack. Instead of migrating each of the 
fourteen vservers <http://linux-vserver.org/> on a Debian GNU/Linux 
lenny <http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/> running a 
*2.6.26-2-vserver-686-bigmem* linux individually to an OpenStack 
instance, it was decided that the vserver host would be copied over to 
an OpenStack instance.


     Discussion lists available in non-English languages
     <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community#Mailing_lists_in_local_languages>

In order to support our growing international communities the OpenStack 
Infrastructure and the Community team worked to allow groups to create 
mailing lists in languages other than English. People interested in 
discussions in Italian 
<http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-it> and 
Vietnamese 
<http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-vi> can 
join the lists already. A request for a list to discuss in Spanish is 
pending <https://pending/>review 
<https://review.openstack.org/#/c/30495/> and other can be created if 
necessary following the instructions 
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community#Mailing_lists_in_local_languages>.
