Open Stack

Hi everyone,

At the Mitaka design summit in Tokyo we had some corridor discussions about
doing a mid-cycle meetup for the purpose of continuing some design
discussions and doing some specific sprint work.

***
I'd like indications of who would like to attend and what
locations/dates/topics/sprints would be of interest to you.
***

For guidance/background I've put some notes together below:

Location
--------
We have contributors, deployers and downstream consumers across the globe
so picking a venue is difficult. Rackspace have facilities in the UK
(Hayes, West London) and in the US (San Antonio) and are happy for us to
make use of them.

Dates
-----
Most of the mid-cycles for upstream OpenStack projects are being held in
January. The Operators mid-cycle is on February 15-16.

As I feel that it's important that we're all as involved as possible in
these events, I would suggest that we schedule ours after the Operators
mid-cycle.

It strikes me that it may be useful to do our mid-cycle immediately after
the Ops mid-cycle, and do it in the UK. This may help to optimise travel
for many of us.

Format
------
The format of the summit is really for us to choose, but typically they're
formatted along the lines of something like this:

Day 1: Big group discussions similar in format to sessions at the design
summit.

Day 2: Collaborative code reviews, usually performed on a projector, where
the goal is to merge things that day (if a review needs more than a single
iteration, we skip it. If a review needs small revisions, we do them on the
spot).

Day 3: Small group / pair programming.

Topics
------
Some topics/sprints that come to mind that we could explore/do are:
 - Install Guide Documentation Improvement [1]
 - Development Documentation Improvement (best practises, testing, how to
develop a new role, etc)
 - Upgrade Framework [2]
 - Multi-OS Support [3]
