<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Thanks, Melvin! I think this looks really good. I would just recommend adding a couple of sentences about the high level value of the events for those who are not familiar. What were the goals and outcomes of
the operator’s gatherings, what was the impact to the larger community and software?

Ops Meetups Team came together early in the year with the hope of the Operator community driving mid-cycles and summit planning. In just over six months the Ops Meetups Team has successfully planned, organized, and executed a mid-cycle and the Barcelona Ops
Summit. The Ops Meetups Team operates openly having IRC meetings Tuesdays <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0">at 15:00 UTC</a> in #openstack-operators. Currently in the organization and execution phase of the Ops Spring Mid-cycle the team looks forward to
growing and working together in 2017.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Each year, the Foundation produces an annual report summarising the activities from the year before. It would be great to one or two paragraphs from the ops meetups team describing how we work and some info about the past and upcoming events.<br>
<br>
Anyone game?<br>
