Thanks for being part of the RDO community!

It's been a very busy summer so far, and there's still a lot coming up.
The very best ways to keep up with what's happening in RDO is to get on
the mailing list <http://rdoproject.org/community/mailing-lists/> and to
follow us on Twitter <http://twitter.com/rdocommunity/>.


    Red Hat Summit

We just came back from Red Hat Summit, where we had a presence in the
Community Central pavilion in the expo hall. We shared that space with
our friends at Ansible, CentOS, Atomic, Ceph, and many other community
projects
<http://eventsblog.redhat.com/2016/06/28/go-upstream-at-summit-community-central/>.

Highlights of the week included Rain Leander's presentation on becoming
a contributor to the TripleO project
<https://rh2016.smarteventscloud.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=75677&tclass=popup>,
and Cumulus Networks' demo of their Rack On A Laptop OpenStack setup
<https://support.cumulusnetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/215832697-Demo-OpenStack-Cumulus-VX-Rack-on-a-Laptop-Part-I-L2-MLAG->.

We also had a USB drive containing the TripleO QuickStart image, so that
one can get a single-node OpenStack installation up and running in just
minutes. You'll soon be able to download the image from the RDO website
<https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo/>, or you can come get one from me
at LinuxCon next month on Toronto
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america>.


    Upcoming Events

July is OpenStack Birthday month, and so you'll see birthday meetups
cropping up all over the world. Check on Meetup.com
<http://www.meetup.com/> for OpenStack meetups near you, or watch the
calendar on the RDO events site <https://www.rdoproject.org/events/>.

There's also a number of OpenStack Days
<https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays> events where
Red Hat is sponsoring, or where we'll have an RDO presence of some kind:

We'd love to see you there. Come, and bring your RDO questions and
stories to share.

Other RDO events, including the many OpenStack meetups around the world,
are always listed on the RDO events page

    Test Day, July 21, 22

Newton Milestone 2 is due next week
<http://releases.openstack.org/newton/schedule.html>, and so we'll be
having an RDO test day, July 21 and 22
<http://rdoproject.org/testday/newton/milestone2>, to verify that the
RDO packages, produced from that milestone, are ready. Please join us in
the #rdo channel on Freenode IRC as we test, so that we can ensure that
Newton is the best release of RDO yet.
