Patricia, thanks for getting this conversation started on the mailing list.

When this topic came up in Barcelona, my thinking was that user group
organizers (such as myself) could use the time at the end of meetups
to lead an informal conversation around what kind of applications
folks are developing on OpenStack clouds (if any) and how they are
doing that.  My expectation is that we simply ask a question like
this:

"Are you developing applications on OpenStack?  Why kind of
applications (i.e. cloud-specific apps that could be distributed/used
by others, in-house apps for your own use, or something else?"

...and then let the conversation take its course from there.

Thoughts?  Opinions?  If you were attending an OpenStack user group
and the organizer tried this out, what would you think?
