<h2>Highlights of the week</h2>
<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>

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
href="https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/Meetings">weekly
public meetings</a>, a <a
href="https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar">public
mailing list</a>, a <a
href="https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/IRC-channel"><code>#crowbar</code>
IRC channel</a>, <a
href="https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/Development">public
Trello boards</a> and so on. As an indication of the project’s
independent nature, the authoritative location for the git
repositories has changed from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/dellcloudedge">https://github.com/dellcloudedge</a>
to <a href="https://github.com/crowbar">https://github.com/crowbar</a>,
and <a href="http://crowbar.github.com/">a new homepage</a>is
currently under construction.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://aptira.wufoo.com/forms/pyconau2013-openstack-miniconf-call-for-presenters/">OpenStack
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
