Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for inviting us to join this special meeting. I'm the coordinator of Vietnam OpenStack Community (VietOpenStack). I would love to join this meeting. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I couldn't make it because the meeting is going to be at 2am in Vietnam. However, it would be great if we could have the MOM and recorded audio from the meeting so that we don't miss too much. Like Atul, I would like to brief you all on our community activities: </div>
<div>- We have approx. 90 members till date</div><div>- We have organized 1 seminar and 2 meetup events. Meetup 3 is on the way. </div><div>- Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VietOpenStack">https://www.facebook.com/VietOpenStack</a> </div>

<div class="im">Hi,<br>
I am sorry that I may not able to join the meeting but the Hong Kong OpenStack User Group and Hong Kong Cyberport will be updating you any information if necessary.<br>
<br>
May I have a bit comment on the following agenda:<br>
<br>
Can the Foundation start working with some Universities for meeting space, sponsorship, and student participation? Is the Foundation interested in Phd thesis sponsorship<br>
I strongly agree on this point, since there is getting more university students and researchers who starts to explore the open source cloud softwares as most commercial cloud softwares/services on market are really expensive for them to get start. Also, university students and researchers are usually more sincere to explore the open source software because it is free and cloud computing is quite new for them. And this is a good starting point to educate them to contribute to open source stuffs rather than just using it as freeware.<br>
<br>
Should there be an OpenStack user group and/or meetup approval process? How do we clean up user groups and meetups that are abandoned?<br>
I think there must be have an official central coordinator to manage all the user groups.<br>
<br>
Thank you for the attention, and wish you all the best in year 2013.<br>

Subject: Re: [openstack-community] Calling all user group and meetup organizers<br>
<br>
Agenda for tomorrow's user group / meetup planning meeting<br>
<br>
</div> *<br>
* Review of user group and meetup template<br>
* Meetups fit into the larger plan of user committee and summit to summit development how?<br>
* Where would be the location for social materials like videos, meetup logs, and other meeting related items?<br>
* Where do operators go to figure out how to run OpenStack in production?<br>
* Can the Foundation start working with some Universities for meeting space, sponsorship, and student participation? Is the Foundation interested in Phd thesis sponsorship?<br>
* If possible I like to get some supporters for a <a href="http://groups.openstack.org" target="_blank">groups.openstack.org</a> site, including content writers and some developer resources from the community. We have a lot of knowledge about running / starting an user group, and need to write it down, publish on the site and share it with newcomers. I think this is answered by the user group template information that will be published to <a href="http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups</a>.<br>
* Should there be an OpenStack user group and/or meetup approval process? How do we clean up user groups and meetups that are abandoned?<br>

Hi Séan,<br>
<br>
I run the OpenStack Ireland meetup group, just wondering if your meeting is targeting only groups in the East Coast of the USA?<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
