Participate in the OpenStack User Survey by September 30! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/participate-in-the-openstack-user-survey-by-september-30/> We're kicking off the second round of the OpenStack User Survey this month! You may remember before the April Summit we helped the User Committee run a survey to aggregate OpenStack deployments and share the results. OpenStack Docs Boot Camp Wrap Up <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/09/13/openstack-docs-boot-camp-wrap-up/> We gathered about 20 writers and developers who wanted to learn about OpenStack documentation in the Mirantis training room for two days this week in Mountain View, California. The idea for a docs boot camp came from the OpenStack Infrastructure team who held one back in June <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/infrastructure-bootcamp/>. We wanted to enable more people to contribute to OpenStack documentation through in-person training and team building. It's not like a book sprint, with the goal of a book in five days, but rather a training session, with questions and answers in real time.
