This week, LinuxCon Europe
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe> will be held
in Berlin, Germany, and RDO will be there. Drop by the Red Hat booth for
RDO stickers, and to find out more about RDO and OpenStack. Christian

      OpenStack Summit and the RDO Community Meetup

In just a few weeks, many of us will be in Barcelona for the OpenStack
Summit <https://www.openstack.org/summit>. The summit, which will be
held on October 25th through 28th, is where we will celebrate the Newton
release, and begin planning for the Ocata release.

While there, we'll be having the RDO community meetup, in conjunction
with the Ceph community. We'll be gathering at the Barcelona Princess
<http://en.hotelbarcelonaprincess.com/restaurants/the-gym-bar/> on
Tuesday evening, the 25th, from 5pm to 8pm, for presentations about RDO
and Ceph, as well as light refreshments and drinks. If you have
something you'd like to present on for 5-10 minutes, please get in touch
with me as soon as possible.

We're also pleased to note that over 40 of our colleagues in the RDO
project
<http://redhatstackblog.redhat.com/2016/09/13/red-hat-confirms-over-40-accepted-sessions-at-openstack-summit-barcelona/> have
talks accepted at the Summit, on a wide variety of topics, many directly
related to their work on RDO.

And we'll be in the Red Hat booth in the main exhibit hall. Come get
your RDO duck <https://www.rdoproject.org/blog/2015/10/ducks/>.

    Blog Posts

The RDO community has numerous prolific bloggers who keep us updated on
the state of development in the OpenStack world. Here's some of the
great blog posts over the past month.

*Our Cloud in Liberty* by Tim Bell

    The upgrade to Liberty for the CERN cloud was completed at the end
    of August. Working with the upstream OpenStack, Puppet and RDO
    communities, this went pretty smoothly without any issues so there
    is no significant advice to report.

*Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Tesora Database-as-a-Service Platform:
What’s New* by Rob Young, Principal Product Manager, Red Hat

    As OpenStack users build or migrate more applications and services
    for private cloud deployment, users are expanding their plans for
    how these deployments will be serviced by non-core, emerging components.

*Integrating Red Hat Virtualization and Red Hat OpenStack Platform with
Neutron Networking* by CaptainKVM

    As applications are designed, redesigned, or even simply thought
    about at a high level, we frequently think about technical barriers
    along side business needs.

*Complex data transformations with nested Heat intrinsic functions* by
Steve Hardy

    Disclaimer, what follows is either pretty neat, or pure-evil
    depending your your viewpoint ;) But it's based on a real use-case
    and it works, so I'm posting this to document the approach, why it's
    needed, and hopefully stimulate some discussion around optimizations
    leading to a improved/simplified implementation in the future.

*Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 is here! So what’s new?* by Marcos Garcia

    This week we released the latest version of our OpenStack product,
    Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9. This release contains more than 500
    downstream enhancements, bug fixes, documentation changes, and
    security updates.
