I'm torn. I get the benefit of trying to do this at another event when a lot of folks will be there anyway, but at the same time, I think there are some pretty significant discussions we need to have, as operators, if we want to push Openstack to be what it can be. If that's the case, I don’t' know that trying to fit a few talks, sessions or other short visits inside another event is going to do it justice.

Anyway, I think to accurately hash out the things we like to see for all this, we should find a time that we can get together for a couple days and discuss it all in detail without trying to stay focused on material from another conference. That's my $.02 at least. I'll gladly do what ever, but wanted to challenge this current thread about attaching this effort to another event a little. Thanks a ton!

Certainly we should approach the organizers immediately as I'm sure plans are already solidifying. For SCALE I think we may be too late, as the CFP has closed and it is just 2 months away. We're all busy, is there anybody who can step up and drive this? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org> Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack -- Thanks, -Sriram
