Hi everyone,
In Berlin it became clear that there is a big interest in restarting the Public Cloud SIG. Thank you all for your contributions in that forum session [0] and the interest in participating in the work of this SIG.
A lot of good ideas of what we should focus on was identified, with a clear focus of interoperability and standardization, to make the experience of using OpenStack as an end-user even better. Standardization of images and flavors - naming, metadata etc - being one of them, working closely with InterOp WG regarding the checks and governance of the OpenStack Powered Program another. The ultimate goal could be to reach a state where it is possible to start to federate between the public clouds, but for that to be possible on a more global scale we need to start with aligning the simple things.
To kick this off, we will start with bi-weekly IRC meetings again, shape the goals kick of some work towards identified goals. Since we have an IRC channel (#openstck-publiccloud) my suggestion is that we will start there. Let's decide on suggestions for day and time for our bi-weekly meetings during the kick off meeting.
Kick off meeting =========== When: Wednesday 10th of August at 1400 UTC Where: IRC in channel #openstack-publiccloud
I created an etherpad for our first meeting [1], feel free to add items to the agenda or other suggestions on goals etc that you might have prior to the meeting.
Hope to see at IRC in August!
