OpenStack DefCore Community Review – TWO Sessions April 21 (agenda) During the DefCore process, we’ve had regular community check points to review and discuss the latest materials from the committee. With the latest work on the official process and flurry of Guidelines, we’ve got a lot of concrete material to show. To accommodate global participants, we’ll have TWO sessions (and record both):
1. April 21 8 am Central (1 pm UTC) https://join.me/874-029-687 2. April 21 8 pm Central (9 am Hong Kong) https://join.me/903-179-768
