Our first OpenStack Ambassadors http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/announcing-our-first-openstack-ambassadors/
Following on from our earlier http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/ discussions http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program-specifics/ about the OpenStack Ambassador Program, it is with great excitement that the Foundation introduced the first OpenStack Ambassadors. In this initial stage, we were only looking for a small number but were very honoured to have applications from many more excellent candidates and will aim to introduce more ambassadors in the next 6 months. The ambassadors are currently working to scope out the program and are keen to start making an impact in our community. Follow the discussion on the community mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community.

OpenStack User Survey Statistics November 2013 http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-statistics-november-2013/
The OpenStack User Committee and Foundation staff conducted a survey of OpenStack cloud operators and end users, and are sharing the results with the community this week during the OpenStack Summit Hong Kong. The goal of the survey is to give users a strong voice in the community to share their technical requirements, feedback and best practices with the developers building OpenStack, as well as other cloud operators.
The survey generated 822 responses and catalogued 387 OpenStack cloud deployments across 56 countries. A few key highlights on the detailed blog post http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-statistics-november-2013/ and /infographic http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/11/openstack-user-survey-october-2013///./
Expect the Minus One http://adam.younglogic.com/2013/11/expect-the-minus-one/
We want your patches for OpenStack, Keystone. Just don’t be surprised when it gets a minus one rating. A patch that gets a minus one from a core developer is probably on the right track, it just needs adjustment to fit in with the rest of Keystone. In other words, don’t be afraid, says Adam Young http://adam.younglogic.com/.
