<br>
OpenStack has become quite big, and it's easier than ever to feel lost,<br>
to feel like nothing is really happening. It's more difficult than ever<br>
to feel part of a single community, and to celebrate little successes<br>
and progress.<br>
<br>
In a (small) effort to help with that, I suggested making it easier to<br>
record little moments of joy and small success bits. Those are usually<br>
not worth the effort of a blog post or a new mailing-list thread, but<br>
they show that our community makes progress *every day*.<br>
<br>
So whenever you feel like you made progress, or had a little success in<br>
your OpenStack adventures, or have some joyful moment to share, just<br>
throw the following message on your local IRC channel:<br>
<br>
#success [Your message here]<br>
<br>
The openstackstatus bot will take that and record it on this wiki page:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Successes" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Successes</a><br>
<br>
We'll add a few of those every week to the weekly newsletter (as part of<br>
the developer digest that we reecently added there).<br>
<br>
Caveats: Obviously that only works on channels where openstackstatus is<br>
present (the official OpenStack IRC channels), and we may remove entries<br>
that are off-topic or spam.<br>
<br>
So... please use #success liberally and record lttle everyday OpenStack<br>
successes. Share the joy and make the OpenStack community a happy place.<br>
