<div>I really like your timing of it too. I can see this as a rallying point for operators and application developers. We can discuss what's important to us and our pain points and then encourage everyone to attend design sessions and give the ops and app devs
perspective. I attended a number of sessions at the last summit where the OpenStack developers were down right excited to have real users giving their feedback.</div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">Like we have the various project design summit session days at the summits, I think it'd be really useful to have an Operators and Users day at the very start of the next summit (and hopefully
all of them in future if it works out). So far at the last 4 summits I've attended, from the users and operators point of view we've had a rag tag bunch of disconnected panels and 40 minute sessions that really don't get anywhere much and don’t make it to
any sort of plan or worthwhile result. This proposed "Operators and Users" day will be run like the design summit session days where all of us that have to deal with the consequences of the software development of this project sit in a room and work the issues.
The goal is to present real world, evidence based Operator, User, and even other input like Sales and Marketing experiences back into the development teams. Maybe we might even have our own "Operators and Users" lounge too. :-P</span></div>
