      OpenStack 2014: Powered by Users
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-2014-powered-by-users/>

If momentum is any indication, 2014 is poised to be a defining year for
OpenStack. All of our vital statistics, from community growth to code
commits and tracked deployments, doubled in 2013, and all signs point to
continued growth. As we start a new year, we in the OpenStack Foundation
are putting our resources behind elevating the voice of OpenStack users
and tightening the feedback loop between users and developers to
influence decisions such as the scope of the project, new feature
priorities, interoperability requirements and operational best practices.


      New Foundation Gold Members & Sponsors
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/new-foundation-gold-members-sponsors/>

The OpenStack Foundation is thrilled to have new additions to our
ecosystem. Three new Gold Members and 18 Corporate Sponsors have
recently joined the incredible list of companies who are supporting the
Foundation and driving innovation on the platform.  *Aptira
<http://www.aptira.com/>*, *Huawei* <http://www.huawei.com/> and
*Hitachi* <http://www.hitachi.com/> won the OpenStack Board’s approval
at the November board meeting and joined the Foundation as Gold members,
which requires a strong, strategic commitment to the technology and
community. We’ve also seen amazing support in Corporate Sponsorship and
we want to share the impressive list of recent additions.


      OpenStack Commitment to Interoperability
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/01/openstack-commitment-to-interoperability/>

Now that OpenStack has tons of users, we need to make sure all
(downstream) products labeled “OpenStack” have a certain set of*core
capabilities*, and we need to verify those with *automated tests* just
like we do upstream.  End-users should be our focus, and ensuring they
get what they want and expect out of the platform once it’s running as a
service is paramount.  The goal is to define the first set of tests in
time for the May 2014 Summit in Atlanta. If this matters to you, get
involved!
