OpenStack meets Lisp: cl-openstack-client
A month ago, a mail hit the OpenStack mailing list entitled “The OpenStack Community Welcomes Developers in All Programming Languages“. Julien Danjou has interpreted that as a challenge and in pure hacker spirit he brought Lisp into OpenStack. Welcome cl-openstack-client, the OpenStack client library for Common Lisp!
Introducing the Open Mic Series
We’re excited to introduce the OpenStack Open Mic series, where we’ll be spotlighting technical contributors across our global community during the month of July to celebrate OpenStack’s 3rd birthday. If you are an OpenStack contributor and would like to participate, please check out the instructions and questions, otherwise follow along to learn more about our community!
OpenStack Security Guide now available!
The legendary book sprint method has come through again! This past week in a bunker, I mean, secure location near Annapolis, a team of security experts got together to write the OpenStack Security Guide. Download the epub file and start reading.
The OpenStack Marketing portal
Looking for the latest presentation decks? Official logo? Do you have questions on how to use the OpenStack brand? Need quotes for your press release? Answers to these and more questions can be found on the new OpenStack Marketing portal.
The new OpenStack Internationalization team
The mission of the OpenStack I18N team is to make OpenStack ubiquitously accessible to people of all language backgrounds, by providing a framework to create high quality translations, recruiting contributors and actively managing and planning the translation process. The team has a new mailing list opensta...@list.openstack.org, hangs out on #openstack-translation and holds regular meetings.
