During the DefCore process, we’ve had <A HREF="http://robhirschfeld.com/2014/07/14/defcore-update/">regular community check points</A> to review and discuss the latest materials from the committee. With the latest work on the <A HREF="http://robhirschfeld.com/2015/03/23/defcore-process-draft/">official process</A> and <A HREF="http://robhirschfeld.com/2015/02/26/openstack-defcore-accelerates-simplifies-with-clear-and-timely-guidelines-feedback/">flurry of Guidelines</A>, we’ve got a lot of concrete material to show. To accommodate global participants, we’ll have TWO sessions (and record both):
