As a result, with the enthusiastic support of both the Foundation and Intel, our sponsor in Berlin, we will be changing the lunch to a Diversity and Inclusion event instead of being a Women of OpenStack branded event, with a name yet to be determined.

But I feel it is time for us to join forces and merge the two groups as the D&I WG heading with a new 'nickname' and combine our resources to make a single stronger group.

Based on discussions I would like us to be able to make a decision at our next meeting on October 1st, so that I can get with the Foundation staff for any branding or governance changes that may or may not be needed.
