OpenStack: Open source software for creating private and public clouds

OpenStack is turning 13! Get on social media and share some of your favorite #OpenStack memories over the last 13 years!
We are into milestone 2 of development for the Bobcat release. Most teams have decided on the features that will be making it in for the release and head down on development and bug fixing.
The OpenStack community is seeking consensus to reshape the future of its Git branches, deciding on new processes and policies for how long to keep them and what changes they might contain. If you have an opinion or, more importantly, want to help with their maintenance, get involved in the discussion.

Zuul: Stop merging broken code

Security alert! Zuul 8.3.1 disables user namespaces in executor workspace containers when used with newer releases of bubblewrap supporting that option. This helps protect the executor from untrusted workloads which may try to exploit Linux kernel vulnerabilities that rely on such access.
Zuul 8.3.0 adds new require and reject filters for Gerrit and GitHub pipeline triggers, improvements to slots for concurrent job processing with static and metastatic drivers, theme selection preferences for its web dashboard, and a trendy new “dark mode” that’s easy on the eyes.
