<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">Those dates look fine to me. In terms of questions asked in an updated ‘OpenStack User Survey’ I would lobby for addition or clarification of stories for those ‘API users’ building research, academic, and/or
enterprise applications on top of OpenStack deployments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">Current great questions in this vein:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">1) What best describes your involvement with OpenStack?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"> * “Consumer of an OpenStack cloud - has API or dashboard credentials for one or more OpenStack resource pools, including an Application Developer” – involvement with OpenStack<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">2) “What tools are you using or plan on using to deploy/configure your applications?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">Perhaps a new question for such non-operator “application users/developers” addressing their scope and complexity? Something like one of these:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="color:#17365D">‘Stacks’ are clusters of integrated collections of VMs deployed together. How many separately-maintained application-stacks (R&D stack, load-test stack, staging-stack, prod-stack) are you involved in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#17365D">We could really use such data (mapped against the Industry field of the survey) to further flesh out the “enterprises are/aren’t ready for OpenStack” marketing perception being pondered in the ‘Win the Enterprise’
working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We have run a user survey prior to each of the OpenStack summits for the past two years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">My default proposal would be to run another one before Paris to see how the community is evolving.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In Hong Kong, we had not planned to present but in the end, an impromptu meetup was organised (which led amongst other things to the start of the operations meet up).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Given that we’re hoping to organise an operations ‘design’ style track at Paris, I would propose to include a quick highlight presentation in that session along with a more detailed document for those who wish to drill
down further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The other question is expiry of clouds which have not been updated. I think that if the data on a deployment has not been updated within 12 months, it should not be considered within the statistics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
