Subject: Re: [Women-of-openstack] RSVP for Women Events - OpenStack Summit Austin

Hi all,

Just a heads-up that we’re experiencing a rainy month here in Austin. Before you pack up to travel please check the weather forecast and bring your umbrellas and rain jackets.

We’ll be supplementing umbrellas for a percentage of attendees, but we won’t have enough to give to everyone. So plan ahead and bring your own rain gear to play it safe.

Rain or shine it’s going to be a great Summit!  Just pack for the weather to stay dry. :)

Thanks,
Claire
