<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">During the Mid-Cycle Operators meeting in NYC, we discussed adding the Women of OpenStack to the list of recognized groups. To recognize individuals for AUC status, we would need to track active participation
after each meeting, we are currently developing a form for that purpose. <span></span></p>
