      <h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/participate-in-the-first-openstack-user-survey/">Participate

          in the first OpenStack User Survey!</a></h3>
      <p>If you are an OpenStack user or have customers with OpenStack
        deployments, please take 10 minutes to respond to our first User
        Survey or pass it along to your network. Our community has grown
        at an amazing rate in 2.5 years, and it’s time to better define
        our user base and requirements, so we can respond and advocate
        accordingly. <a href="http://awe.sm/r0NkC" target="_blank"><span
            style="text-decoration: underline;">TAKE THE SURVEY</span></a></p>
      <h3><a
href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-new-agent-management-approach-in-quantum-for-openstack-grizzly/">A
          new agent management approach for Quantum in OpenStack Grizzly</a></h3>
      <p>In Folsom, Quantum didn’t have facilities to schedule its
        agents between cluster nodes, but the Grizzly release brings the
        support of a new component management approach, which addresses
        this issue.</p>
      <h3>Havana Project Technical Leads</h3>
      <p>Welcome to the new PTLs for OpenStack’s future release, Havana:</p>

        next release cycle. Congratulations. The new PTLs will join
        three more people whose election is still ongoing, to form the
        OpenStack Technical Committee.</p>

            to open development: OpenStack / Crowbar / Chef on SUSE</b></a></h3>
      <p>Crowbar was originally developed by Dell engineers, and is now
        a fully-fledged Open Source project involving close
        collaboration with SUSE and others. There are <a

          Trello boards</a> and so on. As an indication of the project’s
        independent nature, the authoritative location for the git

          Miniconf at PyCon Australia 2013</a></h3>
      <p>PyCon Australia 2013 will be hosting two one-day miniconfs on <b>Friday

          5 July</b> before the main conference proceedings kick off on
        Saturday 6 July. Miniconfs are events that focus on a specific
        community that relies heavily on Python, and allows
        practitioners in those communities to explore those topics in a
        much deeper way than the main PyCon conference can allow.</p>
      <p>The Call For Presenters for the OpenStack Miniconf is open now
        and closes on 15 April, 2013. To submit a presentation, visit
        the OpenStack Miniconf CFP site at <a
