     Contributing OpenStack Support to jclouds
     <http://blog.phymata.com/2012/10/03/contributing-openstack-support-to-jclouds/>

jclouds <http://www.jclouds.org/> is a popular cross-cloud toolkit that 
covers an impressive number of public and private cloud providers. There 
are lots of advantages for both projects to help each other. Read the 
article Everett Toews <http://blog.phymata.com/> wrote to get started

     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>.
