I wanted to thank Mark and the foundation team for supporting us on the launch. I am typically skeptical of free help, but contrary to my expectations, working with the foundation to amplify our story was very useful. Was quietly hoping this would only be Mirantis' secret power, but now that Mark went out with it... what the hell; highly recommend that everybody takes advantage of it.

You have the news, we need it!

As you approach the Summit, please give us a preview of any OpenStack news you plan to announce. We always respect embargoes & confidentiality. *Email news to allison@openstack.org <allison@openstack.org>*

Examples:

- Product Announcements - Customer wins / case studies - Partnerships - If you’re a user (TIM BELL) and have a fresh story, like expanding or upgrading your cloud or integrated with other open source projects etc - Data (e.g. if you do a survey)

We can do a LOT to amplify your news, which helps you and OpenStack as a whole. There’s so much positive momentum, but the press isn’t always picking it up. Let us help.

I’d like to thank Boris for telling us about their product launch last week. We did a lot:

- Announce the news on the openstack.org home page — a first for us! We’re serious about supporting the ecosystem. Within hours, it generated 8,700+ pageviews and 200 clicks back to the Mirantis press release - Tweeted it to our 136,000 @openstack followers on Twitter - Produced a podcast interview for Superuser (to be published soon)

*Action: Email Allison@openstack.org <Allison@openstack.org> with your news or updates.*
