we have a new process in place for this step now. It's described in the
new version of the Welcome Guide

http://openstack.org/assets/welcome-guide/openstack-welcome-guide.pdf

we now have a form to fill

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGJnUHg1YW1mblFUY3dmZDA1dmJzRXc6MQ#gid=1

and the Name and Logo Authorization Form needs to be compiled on
Echosign instead of faxing it to us (the link to echosign is on the form
above). It's leaner and simpler to handle for everybody.

I always point people to this page as it has all the latest information
and updated links:

http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute

For people and companies that want to contribute code, the instructions
start here:

http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute#If_you.27re_a_developer.2C_start_here:

I believe that the full list is this page on the wiki, although I'm
quite sure that some other group exists that is not listed there:

http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups

We're discussing how to improve the experience for people looking for a
local user group. If you're interested, join the discussion on

https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack-community/msg00081.html

If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Stef
