Openstack Next steps for S

Registered by Chuck Short

[GOAL]
Ensure that Openstack remains well support for Ubuntu 13.10 and for 12.04 via the Cloud Archive.

[RATIONALE]
Openstack has been in Ubuntu for 5 releases now and is established and stable. Havana is the next release of Openstack and Ubuntu should have this release as well.

[ASSUMPTIONS]
Server QA lab will be virtualized using OpenStack supporting regular testing activities.

[RISKS]
Upgrading Openstack from folsom to grizzly might cause Openstack being unstable.

[OUT OF SCOPE]
[USER ACCEPTANCE]
Multi-node testing of openstack on a regular basis using Juju charms.

[RELEASE NOTE/BLOG]
