Introduction

Welcome to Last week on OpenStack Dev (“Lwood”) for the week ending 1st November 2015. For more background on Lwood, please refer here.

An even shorter Lwood this week than last – many people were at the Mitaka Summit in Tokyo which has reduced the amount of traffic dramatically.

Midcycle dates and locations

There will likely be more of these announced/clarified during the coming week post Mitaka, but for now at least the Nova folk know where to be – Bristol, UK, 26 and 28 January. The announcement is here and a link to registration here.

Certificate Authority for openstack-ansible deployments

This thread, started by Major Hayden has been quietly percolating away and got, I think, some coverage at the summit too. It’s been suggested that the anchor project may have a role to play here as well.  Input is actively being sought from both the Ansible community but also from Openstack crypto folk.
