Sixth China OpenStack Bug Smash Ensures Smooth Release

[Suzhou, China, May 22, 2017] Huawei, China Mobile, Intel, and China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) teamed up to host the sixth China OpenStack Bug Smash from May 17 to 19 this year. During the event, 85 bugs were fixed, 2 blueprints were developed and 9 OpenStack community projects were shared, helping iron out the kinks in OpenStack Pike before its upcoming release.
