<div>I’d like to be involved too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wasn’t able to attend either due to actually being at the customer site of such an “end user” helping them develop applications on OpenStack. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to the meeting notes. I hope the one of the goals of the meeting was to remove the double quotes around “end user”. :)</div>

As more OpenStack-powered clouds become available, there are a growing number of "end users" of OpenStack clouds that have no direct visibility into the implementation of the OpenStack services that they are using. These “end users” are often employees of
organizations that have OpenStack clouds or application developers that are using public clouds powered by OpenStack. Tim Bell and I have been discussing the best way to give a voice to this growing community of stakeholders within the broader OpenStack
community, and have agreed to form a working group to work with the Foundation, User Committee, and OpenStack Board, to coordinate activities that give this small but growing community a larger voice within the overall OpenStack ecosystem.

Following the July board meeting, we'll bring together parties interested in kicking off an end user working group under the OpenStack user committee. High level agenda: 1. Discuss “end user” vs “ app developer” 2. Discuss current activities Foundation is planning
