          2014: Powered by Users</a></h3>
      <p>If momentum is any indication, 2014 is poised to be a defining
        year for OpenStack. All of our vital statistics, from community
        growth to code commits and tracked deployments, doubled in 2013,
        and all signs point to continued growth. As we start a new year,
        we in the OpenStack Foundation are putting our resources behind
        elevating the voice of OpenStack users and tightening the
        feedback loop between users and developers to influence
        decisions such as the scope of the project, new feature
        priorities, interoperability requirements and operational best
        practices.</p>
      <h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/new-foundation-gold-members-sponsors/">New
          Foundation Gold Members & Sponsors</a></h3>
      <p>The OpenStack Foundation is thrilled to have new additions to
        our ecosystem. Three new Gold Members and 18 Corporate Sponsors
        have recently joined the incredible list of companies who are
        supporting the Foundation and driving innovation on the
        platform.  <strong><a href="http://www.aptira.com/">Aptira</a></strong>, <a
          href="http://www.huawei.com/"><b>Huawei</b></a> and <a
          href="http://www.hitachi.com/"><b>Hitachi</b></a> won the
        OpenStack Board’s approval at the November board meeting and
        joined the Foundation as Gold members, which requires a strong,
        strategic commitment to the technology and community. We’ve also
        seen amazing support in Corporate Sponsorship and we want to
        share the impressive list of recent additions.</p>
      <h3><a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-commitment-to-interoperability/">OpenStack
          Commitment to Interoperability</a></h3>
      <p>Now that OpenStack has tons of users, we need to make sure all
        (downstream) products labeled “OpenStack” have a certain set of<strong>
          core capabilities</strong>, and we need to verify those with <strong>automated
          tests</strong> just like we do upstream.  End-users should be
        our focus, and ensuring they get what they want and expect out
        of the platform once it’s running as a service is paramount.
         The goal is to define the first set of tests in time for the
        May 2014 Summit in Atlanta. If this matters to you, get
        involved!</p>
