[Openstack-operators] European Operators

So judging from the responses so far, I'd say there is an appetite for
doing this. There are also a lot of folks who don't seem to be on this list
including most of the other European commercial providers so I've started
reaching out to the contacts I have there, and to the other fairly large
scale private operators we know in the UK and Europe. It would be great if
others could do the same around any contacts they have in the European
OpenStack community who may have missed this thread.

So next steps - there's obviously a whole bunch of discussion to be had
around logistics, format, organisation etc. which is probably not best
placed on this list. Perhaps we can get an openstack-euoperators list on
lists.openstack.org set up ? Can someone from the Foundation organise that
for us ? It would also be great to have some input from the US folks to
guide us on format and structure as we try and move this forward.

Does that sound like a sensible first step ?
