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><span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> </span><span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> </span><span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Cheers</span><span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#888888'>Tristan</span><span lang=EN-AU style='color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#888888'> </span><span lang=EN-AU style='color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_______________________________________________<br>Community mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Community@lists.openstack.org">Community@lists.openstack.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community" target="_blank">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>-dheeru<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>@Community Service<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
