Just what did everyone do for the Mitaka OpenStack release ?
RDO community liaison Rich Bowen went to find out.
He interviewed some developers and engineers that worked on OpenStack and RDO throughout the Mitaka cycle and asked them what they did and what they were up to for the Newton cycle.
It was definitely a good idea and I hope we do the same retrospective for Newton !
Here’s a quick summary of who participated and what they talked about.
