      Our first OpenStack Ambassadors
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/announcing-our-first-openstack-ambassadors/>

Following on from our earlier
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/> discussions
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program-specifics/>
about the OpenStack Ambassador Program, it is with great excitement that
the Foundation introduced the first OpenStack Ambassadors. In this
initial stage, we were only looking for a small number but were very
honoured to have applications from many more excellent candidates and
will aim to introduce more ambassadors in the next 6 months. The
ambassadors are currently working to scope out the program and are keen
to start making an impact in our community. Follow the discussion on the
community mailing list
<http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community>.

      OpenStack User Survey Statistics November 2013
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-statistics-november-2013/>

The OpenStack User Committee and Foundation staff conducted a survey of
OpenStack cloud operators and end users, and are sharing the results
with the community this week during the OpenStack Summit Hong Kong. The
goal of the survey is to give users a strong voice in the community to
share their technical requirements, feedback and best practices with the
developers building OpenStack, as well as other cloud operators.

The survey generated 822 responses and catalogued 387 OpenStack cloud
deployments across 56 countries.  A few key highlights on the detailed
blog post
<http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-statistics-november-2013/>

      Expect the Minus One
      <http://adam.younglogic.com/2013/11/expect-the-minus-one/>

We want your patches for OpenStack, Keystone. Just don’t be surprised
when it gets a minus one rating. A patch that gets a minus one from a
core developer is probably on the right track, it just needs adjustment
to fit in with the rest of Keystone. In other words, don’t be afraid,
says Adam Young <http://adam.younglogic.com/>.
