I agree that users deserve a section in the newsletter. The 'how' is the
tricky part. Since I don't have access to the survey results I cannot 
judge how difficult it would be to use that as a source (*).

Let's start thinking about tomorrow or next week's newsletter: what 
should I put in there?

Reddit has no new content http://www.reddit.com/r/openstack/, I didn't 
see much more besides Comcast X1...

I can start with that and ask for people to use a tool (reddit and 
twitter) to send me candidate posts, announcements worth including in 
the next issue. I'll make judgement calls to make that section a 
celebration of *people* doing great stuff with OpenStack (as opposed to 
celebrating large corporations with no face). In other words, if people 
at Comcast and other users had blogs where they talked about their 
openstack experiences things would be much simpler.

* it is my impression from talking with people involved in designing the 
survey that its purpose was not to become a way to publicize 
deployments. I think we all agree that we need to check the tacit 
'contract' with the respondents before using it as a source.
