You can see the latest stats and slides here: http://www.slideshare.net/openstack/openstack3bday Hosting an OpenStack Pavilion at OSCON, the largest space on the expo floor, and throwing a birthday party at the event with 13 sponsors: http://openstack3rdbirthday.eventbrite.com How you can participate: Join the conversation - tweet, blog and post pictures using the #openstack3bday hashtag to be included in our aggregate blog post July 19, as well as twitter feeds on the birthday landing page and OSCON booth/party If you are planning to post a blog about the significance of the milestone for the community, please send the intended URL for inclusion in our aggregate blog post by July 18 at 4 pm CT (send to shari(a)openstack.org) Encourage contributors at your company (and in the community!) to submit for the #OpenMic series: https://etherpad.openstack.org/fivequestions Access the third birthday graphics and latest presentation: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/opdm6e0pwe70sw2/MxAxxPr3UV Attend or promote the birthday party at OSCON and your local user group celebrations!

It's something we'd like to try next year, starting a few months earlier. As always, the slides/recording for the last marketing meeting covering the third birthday, marketing portal, Hong Kong Summit and formation of a content team are available on the wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/Marketing Thanks, Lauren

[OpenStack Marketing] qyjohn's quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source projects is out
by Atwood, Mark 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi! Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q2 http://www.qyjohn.net/?=3297 It’s in Chinese, but he typically publishes an English translation a few days later. Short summary of OpenStack’s position: We are still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors. The data sources for discussion thread metrics for OpenStack are https://lists.openstack.net/openstack/ https://answers.launchpad.net/openstack/ http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/*/ https://ask.openstack.org/ Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention? His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects. Share and enjoy. ..m Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director of Open Source Engagement for HP Cloud Services M +1-206-473-7118
