Open Stack

I hope that you guys made it safely to Hong Kong.
We have secured an unconference session on Wednesday at 4:40 - 5:20
(SkyCity Meeting Room 2).  There will be a panel of customers and vendors,
and we are already gathering some really good feedback.
We will also be able to run a demo of what we have running.
Looking forward to the discussion.
