      Tracking OpenStack adoption / Discussion at Summit
      <http://markmail.org/message/5gplkacmj5ydz2f3>

One of the objectives of the OpenStack Foundation is to "Make OpenStack 
the ubiquitous cloud operating system". In order to reach that objective 
the Foundation needs to understand more about the usage of the OpenStack 
software. OpenStack distributions are requested to participate in this 
conversation at the OpenStack Design Summit 
<http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/64>.
