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 tocore projects.

FeaturesDescriptionURLAdditional common image propertiesAdd operating system characteristicsBlueprintMultiple Image LocationsAllow images to be stored in many differents places (Swift, local, etc)BlueprintImage SharingEnable users to share images with specific members.BlueprintNova
　　PTL : Vish Ishaya
FeaturesDescriptionURLDelete all traces of volumenova-volume is now erased of novaBlueprintBittorent support for XenUse BitTorrent to speed up VM builds in a XenServer clusterBlueprintMove nova-manage into APInova-manage should be deprecated for everything except the db-sync command BlueprintDelete DB access from computeThe compute manager should not have any direct database calls, but rely on conductor BlueprintNova Compute Cells

• to allow additional scaling and (geographic) distribution without complicated database or message queue clustering
  
• to separate cell scheduling from host scheduling

• PXE and non-PXE (Tilera) provisioning with bare-metal DB
  
• Architecture-specific provisioning entity
  
• Fault tolerance of bare-metal nodes
  
• Openflow related stuff

Conclusion
　　Congratulations to developers ! The community was looking forward to seeing all the features needed to bring Quantum in production, and Grizzly fix that !
　　We should also keep an eye out for other projects like Ceilometer and Heat which bring new features on this release.
　　So now, what's next for Havana ? See you in the next Summit ;-)
