Highlights of the week
Ceilometer bug squash day #1 http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2012/ceilometer-bug-squash-day-1
What better way to start the new year? The Ceilometer team is pleased to announce http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2012-December/004161.html that it organizes a bug squashing day on the Friday 4th January 2013 http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/BugSquashingDay/20130104. You can get started by reading how to contribute to Ceilometer http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/Contributing, from updating the documentation, to fixing bugs. There's a lot you can do. Good support for Ceilometer is built into Devstack http://devstack.org/, so installing a development platform is really easy.

Narayan Desai started a discussion about the mission of OpenStack Foundation's most important governing body: the User Committee. Any member of the OpenStack Foundation is welcome to chime in and help define the User Committee.
Resources for translators of documentation http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2012-December/000618.html
