Introduction
"G" release is the next stable version of OpenStack which is going to be released the 4th April 2013.
For remind us, Folsom brought us two new core projects : Quantum (Networking) and Cinder (Volumes). Two new projects have been incubated : Ceilometer (metering) led by Nicolas Barcet (VP Products at eNovance), and Heat (Cloud Orchestration).
Oslo is a new incubated project which produces a set of python libraries containing infrastructure code shared by all OpenStack projects.
We are going to see here what you can't miss to know for next release.
Note : Keep in mind the list is not exhaustive and I note here the highlights only related to core projects.
