   Highlights of the week


     Participate in the first OpenStack User Survey!
     <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/participate-in-the-first-openstack-user-survey/>

If you are an OpenStack user or have customers with OpenStack 
deployments, please take 10 minutes to respond to our first User Survey 
or pass it along to your network. Our community has grown at an amazing 
rate in 2.5 years, and it's time to better define our user base and 
requirements, so we can respond and advocate accordingly. TAKE THE 
SURVEY <http://awe.sm/r0NkC>


     A new agent management approach for Quantum in OpenStack Grizzly
     <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-new-agent-management-approach-in-quantum-for-openstack-grizzly/>

In Folsom, Quantum didn't have facilities to schedule its agents between 
cluster nodes, but the Grizzly release brings the support of a new 
component management approach, which addresses this issue.

     *Moving to open development: OpenStack / Crowbar / Chef on SUSE*
     <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/2013/03/moving-to-open-development-openstack.html>

Crowbar was originally developed by Dell engineers, and is now a 
fully-fledged Open Source project involving close collaboration with 
SUSE and others. There are weekly public meetings 
<https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/Meetings>, a public mailing 
list <https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar>, a |#crowbar| 
IRC channel <https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/IRC-channel>, 
public Trello boards 
<https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/wiki/Development> and so on. As an 
indication of the project's independent nature, the authoritative 
location for the git repositories has changed from 
https://github.com/dellcloudedge to https://github.com/crowbar, and a 
new homepage <http://crowbar.github.com/>is currently under construction.


     OpenStack Miniconf at PyCon Australia 2013
     <http://aptira.wufoo.com/forms/pyconau2013-openstack-miniconf-call-for-presenters/>

PyCon Australia 2013 will be hosting two one-day miniconfs on *Friday 5 
July* before the main conference proceedings kick off on Saturday 6 
July. Miniconfs are events that focus on a specific community that 
relies heavily on Python, and allows practitioners in those communities 
to explore those topics in a much deeper way than the main PyCon 
conference can allow.

The Call For Presenters for the OpenStack Miniconf is open now and 
closes on 15 April, 2013. To submit a presentation, visit the OpenStack 
Miniconf CFP site at 
http://aptira.wufoo.com/forms/pyconau2013-openstack-miniconf-call-for-presenters/
