<html><body><p><font face="Arial">We had 13 small group discussions with a total of 118 people who joined us yesterday morning for our Women of OpenStack working breakfast in Austin! It was an early morning, but it was well worth it to hear from three Women of OpenStack who have recently taken on new roles within the OpenStack community. All our speakers shared unique points of view on how they approached their transition that contained useful tips we can use today and stimulated the group discussion afterwards. </font><br><br><font face="Arial">None of this could have been possible without our event sponsor Comcast, and our three Women of OpenStack lightening talk speakers: </font><ul><ul type="disc"><li><font face="Arial">Kendall Nelson, OpenStack Developer </font><li><font face="Arial">Lana Brindley, Project Technical Lead </font><li><font face="Arial">Allison Randal, OpenStack Board Member </font></ul></ul><br><font face="Arial">Thanks to our facilitator volunteers, the discussion notes and key focus areas for Barcelona were recorded on etherpads that we will summarize and post on the WOS wiki soon. The results will also be discussed at our next Women of OpenStack Monday meeting. </font><br><br><u>Discussion Group Facilitators: </u><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr valign="top"><td width="104" valign="bottom"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Holly</font></td><td width="164" valign="bottom"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Bazemore</font></td></tr>
