   Highlights of the week


     Ceilometer bug squash day #1
     <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2012/ceilometer-bug-squash-day-1>

What better way to start the new year? The Ceilometer team is pleased to 
announce 
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2012-December/004161.html> 
that it organizes a bug squashing day on the Friday 4th January 2013 
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/BugSquashingDay/20130104>. You can 
get started by reading how to contribute to Ceilometer 
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Ceilometer/Contributing>, from updating the 
documentation, to fixing bugs. There's a lot you can do. Good support 
for Ceilometer is built into Devstack <http://devstack.org/>, so 
installing a development platform is really easy.

define the User Committee.
