      <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. Read the full report
from Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/>.


      Contributing To OpenStack Even If You Are Not A Developer
      <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/09/08/contributing-to-openstack-even-if-you-are-not-a-developer/>

Kenneth Hui <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/> outlines some ways for
community members to become contributors to OpenStack without having to
write a line of Python code.
