Introduction

Welcome to Last week on OpenStack Dev (“Lwood”) for the week just past. For more background on Lwood, please refer here.

Basic Stats for the week 2 to 8 January for openstack-dev:

  • ~284 Messages (down about 50% relative to the long term average)
  • ~115 Unique threads (down about 35% relative to the long term average)

Traffic quiet but heading back up after the break.  Note that I’ve changed the reporting slightly to be against the long term average (calculated since 22 June 2015). As noted previously it’s been suggested to me a graph might be a nice thing to do – scheming towards same has begun…

Welcome back and Happy New Year – this is the first Lwood for 2017, I hope yours was a pleasant break if you had one!  Mine was dominated by boxes and interstate travel, but done in excellent company making it well and truly agreeable enough :)

Lwood Feedback Survey

Flagging this one more time and again noting my thanks to those readers who have already provided feedback through the survey mentioned previously. If you haven’t already done so and would like to, I’d welcome your thoughts :)

The feedback has been very positive, thank you, it seems this modest effort does indeed fill a useful niche for folk in among the other sources out there so will keep at it, with a few tweaks to come.

Credits

Due in part to the absence of a fully operational home office (and in particular speakers) post move, no tunes for this week’s Lwood :)

Last but by no means least, thanks, as always, to Rackspace :)
