OpenStack 2013.1.2 released
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2013-June/000109.html>
The OpenStack Stable Maintenance team is happy to announce the release
of the 2013.1.2 stable Grizzly release. We have been busy reviewing and
accepting backported bugfixes to the stable/grizzly branches. A total of
80 bugs have been fixed across all core projects.
*OpenStack “I” ***release******naming**
<http://markmail.org/message/mz3c7thc4oa5vbfc>
The next release cycle for OpenStack, starting in November 2013 after we
conclude the current *release* cycle (“Havana”) will be called Icehouse.

Open Source Sysadmin: Reorganization of the OpenStack
Infrastructure Docs <http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=8101>
The OpenStack Infrastructure team is constantly evolving its
documentation to make it easier for new contributors to join the team.
Last week documentation for the OpenStack Project Infrastructure
<http://ci.openstack.org/> was reorganised “to re-orient the
documentation as an introduction for new contributors and a reference
for all contributors.” All of the CI tools are open source, the puppet
and other configurations are all hosted in public revision control
<https://github.com/openstack-infra/config> and any changes submitted
are made by the same process all other changes in OpenStack are made
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow>. They go through
automated tests in Jenkins to test applicable syntax and other
formatting and the code changes submitted are reviewed by peers and
approved by members of the infrastructure team. This has made it super
easy it is for the team to collaborate on changes and offer suggestions
(much better than endless pastebins or sharing a screen session with a
fellow sysadmin!), plus with all changes in revision control it’s easy
to track down where things went wrong and revert as necessary.

Async I/O and Python
<http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2013/06/04/async-io-and-python/>
When you’re working on OpenStack, you’ll probably hear a lot of
references to ‘async I/O’ and how eventlet is the library we use for
this in OpenStack. But, well … what exactly is this mysterious
‘asynchronous I/O’ thing? Read it from Mark McLoughlin

OpenStack-Docker: How to manage your Linux Containers with Nova
<http://blog.docker.io/2013/06/openstack-docker-manage-linux-containers-with-nova/>
A new approach to manage Linux Containers (LXC) within OpenStack
Compute. The Docker project released a driver to deploy LXC with Docker,
with multiple advantages over the “normal” virtual machines usually
deployed by Nova. Those advantages are speed, efficiency, and
portability. Details and links to the code on How to manage your Linux
Containers with Nova
