[Openstack-operators] European Operators

Hi,

Foundation person here, at your service :)

Most everything we know about the ops meetups is on the wiki @:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups

including some data around those questions around logistics, structure, etc

I'm not a "US folk", but I'd like to help organise, and probably wander 
over if you'll have me :) I've also got colleagues that are pretty good 
at this event planning logistics kind of thing that we can also ask for 
assistance. Maybe also cash :)

As for the ML ... it seems like there is a great deal of interest on 
this mailing list in terms of how these kinds of events are run, based 
on the threads we had a few months back. We could perhaps start here and 
see how we go? I'm thinking that if there is a new ML justified by the 
traffic levels, it might be better to be named around organising ops 
events in general, rather than along geographical lines.


Regards,


Tom
