<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you know WGs present an opportunity to consolidate and increase the Community around OpenStack from the User and Operator perspective. One of the goals of the User Committee is to help WGs to have the resources
needed to achieve their specific goals and exactly as the TC validates and accepts development projects the UC needs to validate and accept WGs before they be granted with resources and support from UC and the OpenStack Foundation.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In order to validate the current work and progress of the existing WGs under:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The UC would like to have all chairs to reply to this thread with the status of the WG and their plans for the Barcelona summit. This is also an opportunity to have a space allocated to get together and discuss
about work and activities. This is only for existing WGs not for new ones. If we do not hear from WG Chairs, we will assume that those WGs are no longer active and therefore they will be removed from UC documentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please, reach out to us with a short report of the activities (wikis, etherpads, repos, etc).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
