this working group. This gives us the flexibility to CC the user-committee list for broader updates and coordinating with the broader operator community, but have a separate forum to communicate matters of interest to the end-user community.

<p class="MsoNormal">I personally find this discussion very exciting because it means OpenStack has been adopted to the point where we’re truly building a community of end users, who need representation and guidance to have a voice in the community. We’ve
been working down this path for operators over the past year (with great progress, but still more work to be done), and we have an even bigger opportunity with end users.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
