Fedora 17 release video].
== openstack-nova ==
Nova updates for Fedora 16, 17, EPEL 6 and rawhide, were released for
a security issue where [
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2012-2654 security
groups fail to be set correctly]
Nova packages now enable libguestfs image inspection,
which allows injection to more complex guest images.
This is supported by libguestfs updates to the inspection functionality.
== openstack-keystone ==
Derek Higgins identified and fixed important keystone security issues:
* [
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824945 Tokens remain valid after a user
account is disabled]
* [
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824939 Tokens remain valid following a
password compromise and subsequent password change]
* [
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828794 Once a token is created/distributed
its expiry date can be circumvented]
Alan Pevec backported these to the essex release and updated the packages
== novnc ==
novnc packages were finalized to support VNC from a browser to guests through the
dashboard.<br/>
There were tested successfully by CERN who shared
[

testing notes]
Yong Sheng Gong from IBM also documented

OpenStack VNC setups]
== OpenStack Folsom in rawhide ==

= OpenStack upstream news =
== Bug triaging day ==
About 20 people on and off, many from the Fedora community,
participated in the upstream OpenStack bug triaging day,
which yielded some [
http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/bug-triage-day-results/ very
beneficial results]
== Fedora/RHEL/Centos docs ==
Anne Gentle wrote and guided through review a significant update to the
[

specific information] in the upstream docs:
== LVM backed guest images ==
GridDynamics after a dedicated review process,
commited [
https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/e0540df support for LVM backed guest
images].
This significantly improves performance in their testing,
over guest images run from a standard file system.
As part of this they refactored the guest image handling code,
making it much more maintainable.
== Red Hat upstream work ==
There is too much to track in detail the OpenStack upstream activity of Red Hat
developers,
but here is a link showing the [

upstream development]

A recent presentation on the synergies of
[
http://www.slideshare.net/fallenpegasus/openshift-openstack-fedora-awesome OpenStack and

== CERN's plans for OpenStack ==
Tim Bell from CERN (who use Red Hat flavored systems) has presented
[
