I live in San<br>
Antonio but I think we should strongly consider having the meetup in the<br>
UK. It seems most of our deployers live in the UK and it'd be nice to<br>
get people involved whom may not have been able to attend the summit.<br>
While I'll need to get travel approval if we decide to hold the event in<br>
the UK, during the mid-cycle I'd like to focus on working on the<br>
"Upgrade Framework" and "multi-OS". Additionally, if we have time, I'd<br>
like to see if people are interested in bringing new services online and<br>
work with folks regarding the implementation details and how to compose<br>
new roles.<br>
