There is a summit design session proposed to address this:
http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/59

Entitled: Improving Third Party Testing

If you would like to add the information you would like to cover as a
comment to the proposal that would help ensure the content gets covered.

Since the purpose of the design summit is to cover material like this, I
encourage people to get familiar with the summit sessions that are
already proposed: http://summit.openstack.org/ and to propose sessions
that you would like covered if you don't see a current proposal for your
topic of interest.

Since most of what I saw in the Neutron design summit sessions last year
is counter to how most other programs use their design summit sessions,
I encourage you to consider using the design summit session format.
Neutron design summit sessions end up being more like conference
presentations and that is not what the design summit was meant to be at all.

Design summit sessions are meant to be group discussion chaired by
either the proposer of the session or someone else but equally discussed
by all participants. They are not meant to be a presentation with a
passive audience.

Using the design summit sessions as they are intended to be used would
be more advantageous for the community then trying to schedule a meetup
that might be a splintering off of the design summit sessions. If this
direction is unsatisfactory for your needs after it is tried, please be
sure to attend the summit wrapup design session and express your
perspective so it can be included in future summit planning.

Thanks,
Anita.
