      OpenStack Summit Survey Results
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/openstack-summit-survey-results/>

Key Findings:

  * *Overall: 96% of people rating the overall Summit as Good or
    Excellent.  *
  * *Top areas to improve:*  Clearly the Network and the Session Rooms
    (size, acoustics, equipment) were unacceptable.
  * *Format:* Stackers favored keeping the Design Summit co-located with
    the rest of the Summit sessions by a margin of 4:1 over breaking it
    out separately

      Python APIs: The best-kept secret of OpenStack
      <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-openstack-pythonapis/index.html>

As an OpenStack user or administrator, you often need to write scripts
to automate common tasks. In addition to the REST and command-line
interfaces, OpenStack exposes native Python API bindings. Learn how to
use these Python bindings to greatly simplify the process of writing
OpenStack automation scripts. An article on DeveloperWorks by Lorin
