     The challenge of the network
     <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/the-challenge-of-the-network/>

Lorin Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/> shared a very 
detailed story about debugging the network in OpenStack-powered 
instances. The story starts with a familiar message: I can't connect to 
the instance. Hopefully his story will be shared by generations of new 
OpenStack users and become legend.


     Travel less, save more: introducing the OpenStack volume affinity
     filter
     <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/travel-less-save-more-introducing-openstack-volume-affinity-filter/>

It is a common desire to have some storage space associated with an 
instance running on cloud. It is also a common desire to have access to 
it be as fast as possible. OpenStack doesn't provide a way to fine-tune 
this particular option out of the box. Mirantis engineer Alexey 
Ovchinnikov <http://www.mirantis.com/author/alexey-ovchinnikov/> 
discusses how Mirantis implemented just such an extension, what 
roadblocks have already been encountered, and what problems one may 
encounter when using it.

about OpenStack leadership, open source collaboration and community. 
What are your thoughts on the matter?
