Open Stack

I think Tim raises a very valid point, and this was exactly the reason why
I put together the European Ops meetup to start with. There are a lot of
operators in Europe who aren't getting involved in the Ops meetups at the
minute, even at the Summits, for many different reasons including
logistical ones, and as I pointed out earlier in this thread the
implementation landscape in Europe is different from the US and may well
have different concerns to bring to the table eg. there are many more
regional public cloud operators because of data sovereignty concerns in
European countries. Having a midcycle meetup which brings in some of those
voices can only be a positive thing. There are also plenty of options for
remote participation if the demand is there.
