OpenStack DefCore Community Review – TWO Sessions April 21 (agenda)
During the DefCore process, we’ve had regular community check points to
review and discuss the latest materials from the committee. With the
latest work on the official process and flurry of Guidelines, we’ve got
a lot of concrete material to show. To accommodate global participants,
we’ll have TWO sessions (and record both):

     1. April 21 8 am Central (1 pm UTC) https://join.me/874-029-687
     2. April 21 8 pm Central (9 am Hong Kong)
        https://join.me/903-179-768



Help pick the new logos for OpenStack User Groups & OpenStack Days
We are introducing a unique logo for OpenStack User Groups, to help
recognize official groups and their important role in helping grow the
OpenStack Community. The deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday
April 22, 2015.


Let your voice be heard: vote for the Superuser Award!

The Superuser Awards, first launched at the Paris Summit, recognize a
team that uses OpenStack to meaningfully improve their business and
differentiate in a competitive industry, while also contributing back to
the community. This time, the OpenStack community votes to select the
winner.
