Hi All,
I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the new OpenStack Ops Radio Hour Survey!
As a reminder, the OpenStack Ops Radio Hour gathering is a meeting series in a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of managing and deploying OpenStack environments.
The group organizers put together a survey to better understand what channels people use to learn about upcoming meetings, what topics they would be interested in discussing, and what timing and cadence would be most suitable for folks onwards.
