      Participate in the OpenStack User Survey by April 11!
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/04/participate-in-the-openstack-user-survey-by-april-11/>

We’re kicking off the third round of the OpenStack User Survey this
month! If you are an OpenStack user or have customers with OpenStack
deployments, please take a few minutes to respond to our User Survey
<http://www.openstack.org/user-survey> and pass it along to your
network. The goals of the survey are to better define the OpenStack user
community and requirements, facilitate engagement and communication
among the user community, and uncover new use cases or OpenStack users
who might be willing to tell their stories publicly.


      OpenStack Summit – now with more Ops
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/04/openstack-summit-now-with-more-ops/>

A new addition to the busy times in Atlanta: people who run clouds have
a place to congregate at the Summit and swap best practices,
architectures, ideas and give feedback. The Ops Meetup will be the place
for sessions designed to be full-room discussions: there will be no
presenters and salient notes will be collaboratively recorded on
/Etherpads/, just like in the Design Summit. Register for the OpenStack
Summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit>, then turn up Monday and Friday
to room B308 in Atlanta.


      Call for Proposals Open Source @ OpenStack Summit
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/03/call-for-proposals-open-source-openstack-summit/>

At this year’s OpenStack Summit we’re going to be offering space to Open
Source projects that are important to the OpenStack community. We’re
calling it /Open Source @ OpenStack/, and it’s an opportunity for these
projects to hold small design summits with their community members.
We’re impressed by the number of projects that have grown in the
OpenStack ecosystem, and want to continue the practice we started with
StackForge of fostering these projects. We have space and time available
for half day sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, both morning and
afternoon. *If you have a project that you think qualifies for this
space, we invite you to submit a proposal for Open Source @ OpenStack
<https://docs.google.com/a/openstack.org/forms/d/1A6BTLlwhWZSFgRb6QuVH-7us7OArg3Vd8vDzSXwzza4/viewform>*.

      Understanding the obstacles to join OpenStack Documentation Team

We are very interested in increasing the doc contributions and making
our doc processes work well for OpenStack as it scales. I believe we can
take actions based on the questions here, please send the link to
OpenStack contributors as far as you can! Please take this survey to
understand the obstacles to doc contributions
