OpenStack Marketing Bulletin
January 20, 2015

We’re almost three weeks into the new year and already off to a great start. Today, we’re delivering a tremendous collaboration from the OpenStack community—the OpenStack Foundation Report: Accelerating NFV Delivery with OpenStack. 

Download the 24-page report <http://www.openstack.org/nfv> to learn how global telecoms are working with Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and OpenStack, including specific use cases from the largest brands in telecommunications. Mad props to Kathy Cacciatore for shepherding this project and 17 community members’ contributions. Print files suitable for binding will be available soon on the marketing portal <http://www.openstack.org/marketing>. 

Want to contribute to future content? A great way to get started is to attend our marketing content team meetings <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Content_Team_Meetings>. Stream <https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/ldr.php?RCID=8ea865c6dd6f9281abd421fcd6b21334> or download <https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/lsr.php?RCID=bb01e45e47b3dcdffdd7d985916dd447> the latest meeting from Jan. 19, or review the team’s etherpad <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Content_Team_1.19>. On tap: We’re creating an OpenStack 101 presentation deck and video, a security report, an enterprise booklet on getting started with OpenStack, a reference architecture project to complement sample configurations <https://www.openstack.org/software/sample-configs/>, and adding depth to our containers web page. 

Also, if you missed the Jan. 14 marketing community meeting when we shared 2015 highlights and the 2016 marketing plan, you can stream <https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/ldr.php?RCID=84fd2de72b9e40f2e40be3480c0878b5> or download <https://openstack.webex.com/openstack/lsr.php?RCID=3afca85e2b185afb0abbb8b038e3f31c> the recording. 

Finally—one last plea to help us help you. We created a quick events survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KAzpRjVhoFUT88FJwwMkySF_7bUIaKX6Do9qYVMpkyc/viewform> to support your presence at industry events this year. Do you want speakers, swag, collateral or content from the foundation? Tell us now! Survey closes Friday, Jan. 22.
