Welcome to Opensource.com's look at what's happening in the world of OpenStack, the open source cloud infrastructure project. Starting next week, we're going to transition to a monthly format for our OpenStack news roundup. But never fear, OpenStackers, we'll be filling April with an in-depth look at the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Boston, MA. Let us know what's on your mind and which talks you hope we'll preview.
