Open Stack

Hi All

Thanks for enabling this it was great fun to be a part of it.
My reflections on the week is like you say Flanders, the ppl that was 
there was very interested, but wasn't in such a great number.

On your feedback comments i would say that:

1, It was a good mix of labs, those that were there had to roll up their 
sleeves to complete them,
(but might just be because they wasn't appdev) but still didn't see it 
too challenging.
If the rest of the more advanced labs are completed and available i 
think even more seasoned appdev would
see the fun in them.

2, Something that could be done is to promote the labs more/earlier 
during next summit, perhaps during the first Keynote instead of second 
like in Barcelona.
we saw an increase of ppl stopping by after it was mentioned and so on. 
Could perhaps have more challenge sessions during the summit? giving ppl 
chance
to chose what day to attend? On the labs it self my opinion is that 
nothing really needs to change, just need to get more ppl to do them ;-)

Looking forward to see this grow and evolve!

Best Regards

Petter Lund

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 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?
