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><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1. This sounds perfect. It would be great to have some sort of time during this day to review things with actual users like "What are the top 3-5 things you do in OpenStack today?" and then "What are the 3-5 things that you'd like like to see added or improved in OpenStack in the next release?" If we get this information early in the week, we can use it in design summit discussions to focus the some of the next features in each component. </div><div><br></div><div>Selfishly, I'd love to have some time with users to review the latest topics that the OpenStack UX group is discussing here:</div><div><a href="http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com/questions/">http://ask-openstackux.rhcloud.com/questions/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for this proposal,</div><div>Liz</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-AU" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "> </span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">Cheers</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">Tristan</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "> </span></p></div>_______________________________________________<br>User-committee mailing list<br><a href="mailto:User-committee@lists.openstack.org" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline; ">User-committee@lists.openstack.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/user-committee" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline; ">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/user-committee</a></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
