   <div class="post-content">
     <p>Dear users, developers and team members!</p>

 <p>2012 is slowly coming to an end and Libcloud team wishes everyone a happy
 and successful new year 2013!</p>

 <p>2012 has been another great year for us and we have surpassed 2011 in
 pretty much every aspect.</p>

 <p>Here is a short list of things which have been accomplished and important
 events which have happened in 2012:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>One new committer Ilgiz Islamgulov (ilgiz) has joined the team.</li>
   <li>We have another new commiter joining our team soon (Mahendra M).
 Currently he is undergoing a process of submitting his ICLA.</li>
   <li>134 new JIRA issues have been opened (total of 271). Out of those 134
 issues, 111 are now marked as ‘resolved’.</li>
   <li>SVN repository has had a total of 320 commit. More than 50% of those
 commits were patches from external contributors.</li>
   <li>We had our first Google Summer of Code student which worked on a project
 named “Libcloud REST” (https://github.com/islamgulov/libcloud.rest). The
 goal of the project is to expose Libcloud functionality over HTTP.</li>
   <li>Tomaz gave a talk titled “Avoiding Vendor Lock-In Using Apache Libcloud”
 at CloudOpen 2012 in San Diego</li>
   <li>We now finally have some more user friendly documentation and examples on
 the website - http://libcloud.apache.org/docs/</li>
   <li>We held a first in person meetup at the Rackspace San Francisco office in
 the beginning of the year (http://libcloudmeetup.eventbrite.com/)</li>
   <li>We had a total of 7 releases (0.8.0, 0.9.1, 0.10.1, 0.11.0, 0.11.1,
 0.11.3, 0.11.4) and over 70.000 downloads / installs on PyPi (
 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/apache-libcloud/)</li>
   <li>Github mirror has been starred by 266 users (
 https://github.com/apache/libcloud)</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Thanks again to everyone for their work and contributions and lets make
 2013 even better :)</p>

 <p>I will post those numbers in a more machine readable format (JSON) in the
 next couple of weeks. This way it will be easier for us to track those
 metrics on a year over year basis.</p>

 <p>Numbers retrieved on: 2012-12-25.
 Sources for those numbers: JIRA, Libcloud website, PyPi, Ohloh.net, Google
 Analytics</p>
