[User-committee] [app] App Eco WG naming

Hi Chris,

I did not attend the meeting in Barcelona, but the name change and shift to a functional team makes sense to me. One potential small tweak to the wording could be App Dev Enablement?

Referencing your agenda from the Barcelona meeting, I’m excited about the efforts to improve developer.openstack.org and openstack.org/appdev. In terms of collaborating with other working groups, I’m anxious to hear how the enterprise WG book sprint about migrating / running apps on OpenStack went last week. Seems like a place your team might want to be involved, or at least consider how we leverage and promote the content.

I also saw notes about mapping the mix of events. I would love to get some feedback about our efforts to attract more app developers to Barcelona and the right strategy for the future, i.e. do we think we’ll ever attract a critical mass of app developers to an OpenStack Summit, or should we be focusing our efforts to educate and build this community outside of the Summits?

Thanks,
Lauren
