The region would be one of</div><div>: north america, europe or APAC in such a way as to oppose the region</div><div>of the following OpenStack summit.

Representatives from organisations</div><div>having both a vendor and a user role in the OpenStack community should</div><div>wear their user hat for the purposes of the meetup. Attendance by</div><div>those fitting these guidelines is highly encouraged.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div>Chris Morgan <<a href="mailto:mihalis68@gmail.com" target="_blank">mihalis68@gmail.com</a>></div>
