Open Stack

We definitely appreciate your efforts :)

OpenStack has many user groups all over the world [1], but as far as I 
am aware there are none in Nepal. So, you are very welcome to start one!

We have started a page with a number of resources to help starting a new 
user group [2], but probably the biggest piece of advice is to find some 
like-minded people to help. Normally looking for people at the existing 
Linux community (since it has Open Source philosophy) and Python group 
(OpenStack is written in Python) is a good place to start.

Stefano and myself are the Community Managers working for the OpenStack 
foundation, and we're here to help. You should consider joining the 
mailing list for these community group discussions[3] and announce your 
intentions there and on the general mailing list[4].

OpenStack has the mission of being ubiquitous, so of course a strong 
community in Nepal is important! Let us know how we can help you further.

In terms of other fields of contributions, you have many options. If you 
are interested writing software in Python there's a lot you can do[5], 
or if you don't feel like coding there are also many areas [6]. So it 
depends on your interest ...


Regards,


Tom
