FYI... cross posting this message from the User Committee ML since it is a great opportunity to participate in a trial program for OpenStack Powered Public Clouds!

> 
> Hello!
> 
> We have some exciting news for OpenStack public cloud providers: We'd like to invite you to participate in a new initiative due to launch at the Sydney Summit, November 6th.
> 
> The OpenStack Public Cloud Passport Program is a unified way for users to access free trial accounts from OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. The passport will start life as a new landing page on openstack.org, where users can easily access trial accounts on any participating public cloud. The initial goals are: to promote the OpenStack public cloud market, remove friction for users to get started on their OpenStack journey, and to allow them to experiment across a broad range of clouds.
> 
> The long term vision involves a unified way for users to access OpenStack public clouds around the world via their own OpenStack Passport, which would involve a technical integration with a new OpenStack Passport API service and OpenStack ID. We will be discussing future plans for this during several sessions at the Sydney Summit. In the short term, all interested parties will essentially provide a website offering of their freemium/trial offerings, which will be indexed and promoted at openstack.org/passport.
> 
> If you're interested, please do get in touch and register your details here by September 26th: https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstack_public_cloud_passport_registration
> 
> The guidelines for participation are:
> 
> 1. Your business must either a) currently offer a free trial for new public cloud users or b) plans to launch one by November 3rd;
> 2. You must implement an official OpenStack graphic and agreed-upon text on your own website's landing page (details TBA);
> 3. You must provide a quality user experience, because confusing/longwinded processes dissuade users;
> 4. You must have a privacy policy, because we will be sending users to sign up directly for your service;
> 5. You are strongly encouraged to get involved with the bi-weekly IRC meetings hosted by the Public Cloud Working Group (more details below);
> 6. You acknowledge that participation in the program does not necessarily guarantee traffic or users.
> 
> The program is currently being driven by the Public Cloud Working Group with the support of the OpenStack Foundation. If you want to get involved with how the program takes shape, we do public IRC meetings every other Wednesday. Our next meeting is today (Wednesday September 13th) at 1400UTC in #openstack-meeting-3.
> 
> We're also running fishbowl sessions at OpenStack Days UK in       London (September 26th) and OpenStack Days Nordic in Copenhagen (October 19th).
