Hi OpenStack community,

I'm reaching out to you with a friendly reminder that the next OpenStack Ops Radio Hour[1] is scheduled to happen on __October 31st, 2025 at 1300UTC,__ which is during the PTG!

The call series is 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 main topic of the next gathering will be to discuss how to refactor Ops-related activities. See Thierry's email for more details: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack....
