Thanks Tom - 

For example, I have the documents in rendered form hosted on my own site:

http://www.stackhpc.com/category/virtualisation.html
http://www.stackhpc.com/category/bare-metal.html
http://www.stackhpc.com/category/data.html
http://www.stackhpc.com/category/networking.html
http://www.stackhpc.com/category/workloads.html

The intention is that contributors and WG members might reuse the content for blog posts at their own institutions.

With the rapid pace of development of OpenStack these studies will soon go stale, so there were plans discussed to have work sessions at the summit (forum?) to keep them up to date.

Best wishes,
Stig
