      Welcome Heidi, Margie, Jeremy, and Tom to the OpenStack Foundation
      team!
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/welcome-heidi-margie-jeremy-and-tom-to-the-openstack-foundation-team/>

Since the Foundation launched last September, we’ve continued to build
out a diverse team. This has been a big focus to keep up with the
incredible growth in the OpenStack community with another new software
release (Grizzly), the Portland Summit with over 2600 people (double San
Diego!), and the start of the work to organize the first international
Summit in Hong Kong (expecting over 4,000 people).

To keep up with such amazing growth, we expanded the team with new roles
to drive adoption of the software, support the development process and
grow the OpenStack ecosystem. Heidi Bretz joined as Director of Business
Development, Margie Callard as Marketing Manager, Jeremy Stanley as
Infrastructure Engineer and Tom Fifield as User Community Manager.

      Languages
      <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/06/12/the-openstack-community-welcomes-developers-in-all-programming-languages/>

If you ever encounter someone looking for help with any non-python
language, you can always point them to the SDKs wiki page
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/SDKs>. They should be able to find
their way from there.


      How non developers can contribute to OpenStack
      <http://www.muktware.com/5634/how-non-developers-can-contribute-openstack>

One common question many of us involved in OpenStack receive is: “I am
not a developer: how can I contribute to OpenStack?” Atul Jha wrapped up
some possible answers to this question.


      OpenStack at EuroPython 2013 among Reinassance masterpieces
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/openstack-at-europython-2013-among-reinassance-masterpieces/>

If you ever wanted the chance to learn about OpenStack and see the
masterpieces by Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Ghiberti and so
many others your best chance is to join us at Europython 2013
<https://ep2013.europython.eu/>. Hosted in Firenze July 1-7, Europython
2013 will see a massive OpenStack-related presence, including one half
day training session to get started. The OpenStack Foundation will have
a booth there and most likely a Help Desk session, where people
interested can reserve time to talk to OpenStack experts in real life,
under the Tuscan sun.
