And another +1 for use of the word plethora.

I will point out -- not knowing who these actors were -- that sometimes
it is tough for some folks to adapt to open community methodologies and
open discussions. Some people simply don't know any other way of
resolving differences other than to work in private or develop what they
consider to be consensus between favored parties in order to drive
change by bullying. We must, as a community, both make it clear
(through posts such as this) that this behavior is antithetical to how
the OpenStack community functions, and also provide these individuals
with as much assistance as possible in changing their long-practiced
habits. Some stick. Some carrot.

Best,

[openstack-dev] Fwd: [Openstack] ATC Reminder: Summit Registration

[Mark Collier]

FYI, you can avoid the #1 problem ATCs have when redeeming codes if you
look at this first:

Don't be that stacker who forgets to put the promo code in the right box
at the beginning :)

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that registration prices for the May 2014 OpenStack
Summit in Atlanta will increase TODAY, March 28 at 11:55pm CST.  This is
also the deadline for ATCs to register for the Summit for free.

We already provided all active technical contributors (ATCs) who
contributed to the Havana release or Icehouse release (prior to March 7,
2014) with a USD $600-off discount code to register for a Full Access Pass
to the Summit - this means that *all ATCs can register for the Summit for
FREE, but only if you use the code to register by 11:55pm CST TODAY*.  If
you use the ATC code to register after March 28 then a fee will be charged.

When you register on EventBrite, you will need to enter your code before
you select the Full Access level pass. It's easy to overlook, so please
reference the following illustration:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/durn7bgi3jatjeq/HowToUseCode_AtlantaSummit.png


*REGISTER HERE-  https://openstacksummitmay2014.eventbrite.co.uk
https://openstacksummitmay2014.eventbrite.co.uk*
Please email eve...@openstack.org with any Summit related questions.

Cheers,
Claire

 Some of you may already be aware of Sage Weil’s challenge to the open source
 storage community to raise the level of female participation in open source 
 by
 contributing to the Ada Initiative [1]. I would also like to share about the
 Ada Initiative, and how they are helping open source communities like
 OpenStack. I’m also going to increase Sage’s original matching to $10,000 and
 extend a personal challenge [2] to the OpenStack community. If you already 
 know
 about the Ada Initiative, you can donate now:
 
 https://supportada.org?campaign=openstack
 
 The current status of the campaign can be found here:
 https://adainitiative.org/counters/2014counter-openstack.svg
 
 The Ada Initiative has helped over two million women get and stay involved 
 with
 open source communities. The organization helps communities understand
 a culture that needs to exist in order to successfully achieve diversity. 
 While
 women make up about 30% of the software developer community, they only 
 account
 for less than 10% of the open source community.
 
 On a personal level this is something that I have been actively committed to
 doing and I have had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer as a mentor at
 a couple of groups that are bringing diversity to the tech community. The
 PyLadies San Francisco group is providing exciting workshops [3] that will 
 give
 a foundation to women to expand on. The Women Who Code group is preparing 
 women
 for internship opportunities through the Gnome Outreach Program for Women in
 open source projects like OpenStack [4]. It's these experiences that led me 
 to
 explore how the OpenStack community promotes diversity.
 
 Today the OpenStack community has been including a Code of Conduct [5] in an
 attempt to provide a safe, no harassment environment at our summits. We have
 events [6] that bring women together to talk about their achievements, to get
 others excited on what can be contributed to the community. Our participation
 in the Gnome Outreach Program for Women continues to grow with mentors eager 
 to
 bring out the talent of our selected interns [7].  Things are getting better
 but we have a long way to go.  The Atlanta design summit had attendance of 9%
 women, up from 7% at the previous Hong Kong summit.  But this number is still
 unacceptable, and as others have echoed in the community, we must work to 
 make
 it better.
 
 This is a change I want the OpenStack community to be part of. I would like 
 to
 kick start things with the community with a challenge for us to raise $10,000
 before Wednesday, Oct 8th, to which Sage and I will match that dollar for
 dollar!

Re: [openstack-dev] [openstack-announce] OpenStack Pike is officially released!

[Mark Collier]

Stackers,

Today you all released Pike, the latest release of OpenStack. That’s 16 
software releases, every one on time, going back nearly seven years to October 
21, 2010. That’s impressive! I think it speaks to what an amazing community we 
have and to all of your contributions.

To everyone who contributed, whether through code, docs, ideas, feedback, 
financial support, or community organizing: thank you!

OpenStack wouldn’t be a part of some of the greatest stories in the world, from 
the largest rail way, power company, and payment company in the world to the 
most innovative start ups, without your tireless efforts. With members in over 
180 countries, clearly the world is counting on your work, and you continue to 
deliver :)

I hope to see many of you at the PTG in Denver in a few days, and all of you in 
November at the OpenStack Summit in Sydney to celebrate everything this 
community has already accomplished, and plan for all the things we will 
accomplish together in the future.

Mark (sparkycollier)
