If you’re still relying on what’s left of Microsoft’s Zune services to feed your Zune HD with fresh content… well, you’d better have backup plans. Microsoft is warning that it will shut down Zune services on November 15th, preventing you from downloading or streaming Zune media from that point on. If you’re still holding on to a Zune Music Pass for dear life, you’ll switch to a Groove Music Pass sometime between October 15th and the cutoff date — you’d better get your 10 free tunes while you can, because those are going away. Also, any copyright-protected content you’ve downloaded might have trouble playing, since the licenses aren’t guaranteed to renew.
The folks in Redmond are quick to note that Zune devices will keep working. If you’re still rocking that old-school MP3 player, you won’t have to worry about it suddenly breaking. Still, it’s hard not to get a little bit teary-eyed. While Microsoft has spent a long, long time weaning people off of its legacy music and movie platforms, this officially marks the end of the Zune era. Unless you’re happy syncing content from your PC, you’ll have no choice but to move on.

Your next smartphone or tablet could have double the memory and run much faster thanks to new chips from Samsung. The company just revealed that it’s mass-producing 12Gb (1.5GB) DDR4 RAM modules for mobile devices from its 20nm fab plant. The chips take up the same space as the company’s 6Gb modules, meaning that companies can double a device’s memory in the same space — or make smaller phones that still have 3GB of RAM.
The modules are also 30 percent quicker than Samsung’s 8Gb chips (used in many 4GB devices), which will result in better-performing smartphones and tablets. Samsung added that they’re twice as fast as the (new) DDR4 RAM in PCs. Most critically, they use 20 percent less energy, which should have a notable impact on device battery life. Samsung’s now building and stocking the chips, so your next handheld device may actually have more RAM than your laptop.

Don’t relish the thought of buying a $150 robotic BB-8 toy just to have some Star Wars-related fun? Don’t worry, you won’t have to spend a cent. A handful of websites have posted free tools that let you have fun with the sci-fi series’ iconic language. The official Crawl Creator is arguably the highlight — its simple editor turns your writing into the famous scrolling text you’ve seen in front of every Star Wars flick. There’s also a Sonnet Generator that crafts Shakespearean Star Wars poetry from just a few questions. And yes, everyone’s favorite centuries-old Jedi gets his due: plug text into the Yoda-Speak Generator and you’ll get whatever you wrote in Yoda’s distinct verb-follows-subject phrasing. These will only do so much to tide you over until The Force Awakens hits theaters, but they’re definitely gentler on your bank account than the endless waves of merchandise hitting stores.

There have been some new project team requests since the last post. Here’s a list of new project teams that have requested to join the OpenStack Big Tent and a summary of the discussions:
The OpenStack Community App Catalog team has requested to join the Big Tent and they have been accepted
The RefStack project has requested to move from an Infra subproject into its own team and it has been accepted
OpenStack Debian packaging now has a team formed and have been welcomed into the Big Tent.
The Monasca project has requested to join the Big Tent but some community practice requirements – like meetings not happening on IRC – weren’t met. In addition, a new, separate, discussion about progamming languages support and common practices came of this discussion that gave life to this resolution, which are discussed later in this post.
Earlier in this cycle, a workgroup called “Project Team Guide” was created to write a guide for new, and existing, projects that would explain how OpenStack project teams work, OpenStack’s tenets, and several other aspects of the community. The Technical Committee and members of this group have the pleasure of announcing that the guide has been completed and published. The sources of this guide are in the project team guide repo and contributions are welcome. Please read it and enhance it as you see fit.
Naming is one of the most difficult undertakings a project can make. Okay, not really, but it sure is hard to name things. With that in mind, former Docs PTL Anne Gentle has written a set of guidelines to use when documenting and reviewing project and service names. The Technical Committee can use these guidelines when reviewing incoming project applications. Everyone writing documentation now has a reference to use when writing about these services for each audience. The main guideline is about capitalization: for services names, use initial capital letters for each word in the service name and avoid using already trademarked names in the service name. For project names, use lower case because that has been the historical guidance for the doc team, and we want to emphasize that project names will not be trademarked.

Land Rover doesn’t see why towing a caravan or horse box should get in the way of rear visibility. The luxury SUV-maker has created a concept system that shows drivers what’s behind them as if the rear-window is free from obstructions. The idea is pretty simple: a camera on the towed object beams images of what’s behind it to a display embedded in the vehicle’s rear-view mirror. Land Rover already came up with something similar that makes hoods "transparent," and this idea is an extension of that.
Another camera, and a pressure sensitive mat alerts drivers via SMS or an app, if the cargo (in this case, a horse) moves while in transit, and there are graphic overlays to help with tricky reverse parking. The focus of the "Transparent Trailer" is on Land Rover’s equestrian set (there are plans to make the mat spot hoof movements, for example), but the technology could easily be repurposed for any delicate load, or to be useful for those of us who can’t afford a pony. See it in action in the video below, where a typical Land Rover-owning couple (with two Range Rovers, a huge diamond ring, and a race horse of course) use it to complete a safe journey to the stables. Or swing by Burghley Horse Trials this week to see it for yourself, if you’re in the area.
