BARCELONA SUMMIT RECAP
Thanks for making the Barcelona Summit a success! Whether you were there in person or in spirit, the energy, collaboration, and user stories coming out of that event are fantastic.

Thanks especially to those of you who capitalized on our marketing community collaborative campaign, “The World Runs on OpenStack,” by tweeting your customer stories with the hashtag #RunsOnOpenStack. Take a look <http://www.openstack.org/user-stories/> at the compelling stories for a wide range of workloads and global users. At the top of the page, you’ll be able to replay our campaign video featuring great user snippets and stats.

At the marketing community meeting in Barcelona (not a recorded session), we talked about our 2017 plans and concerns. The meeting was too short to dig into everything, and we encourage you to add to the collaborative doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PO2c10ifA959vRu9gYzerG6LZmfEVRIq25OnzL5-BzU/edit> so that we can take your needs into account during our 2017 marketing planning sessions next week. 

On the OpenStack videos <https://www.openstack.org/videos> page, don’t miss keynotes packed with user stories and some of the best demos ever. (I won’t spoil the surprise, but don’t miss the fun!)

Analyst Relations/ Press recap from Barcelona
The Foundation made several announcements immediately before and during Summit week, including news about the Newton release, newly commissioned research from Heavy Reading and 451 Research, the Interoperability Challenge, and growth of the COA program. Read all about it, here <http://www.openstack.org/news>.

More than 50 analysts from Europe, the U.S. and APAC attended a half-day session focused on giving them greater access to users including Banco Santander, Snapdeal, SAP, BBVA, Walmart, Volkswagen, China Mobile, AT&T, China Telecom and 99Cloud. Other sessions focused on the growth of OpenStack in China and the rise of the project among telecom users.

Jennifer Fowler moderated a panel of journalists and analysts in Emerging Technologies, Threats and Opportunities for the Future of Open Source Cloud <https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/summit-schedule/events/16901/emerging-technologies-threats-and-opportunities-for-the-future-of-open-source-cloud>. Frederic Lardinois of TechCrunch, Sean Kerner of eWeek and Owen Rogers of 451 Research shared frank insights into how they view the future of open source with an audience of about 150.

TELECOM SURVEY RESULTS WEBINAR
Please join Roz Roseboro, senior analyst at Heavy Reading, for an informative look into a recent telecom survey commissioned by the OpenStack Foundation. Roz will provide in-depth analysis of the responses about OpenStack usage, benefits and engagement for NFV, IoT, 5G and enterprise cloud.

NEW SCIENCE LANDING PAGE AND HPC BOOK
