Open Stack

The problem I see currently is that items such as 'Tips and Tricks on how to revoke a keystone token' get a line in the community
newsletter but many significant deployments who are willing to be public do not any mention.

The survey is one potential source, news articles are another, user logos appearing on the user-story page are another.  There needs
to be some checking before (to avoid someone incorrectly announcing) but it deserves a section.

Let's find a way to get these deployments visible to the community.
