Hi Everyone, I'm reaching out with a quick recap to the recent OpenStack Ops Radio[1] Hour gathering, which we had on December 19th. The group spent the call with a bit of a retrospective and plans and ideas for 2026: - People find the meeting series very valuable overall + The shared recordings are very popular for people who can't make it to the calls + Active developers also take information back from these calls to improve tools, processes and practices in OpenStack - The meeting series will continue in 2026, the group has explored ways to find out how to make it more accessible to people around the globe + The group will create a short survey to understand people's preferences on time slots and cadence + Having calls in alternating time slots is also an option the group is open to explore If you would like to read and catch up on notes or add agenda items to discuss, you can do so in this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour You can find the meeting recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M71PfpsvClA __The next Ops Radio Hour is scheduled to happen on January 23rd, 2026 at 1300UTC.__ What topics should we add to the agenda?

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 __December 19th, 2025 at 1300UTC,__ which is this Friday!

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.

Topics for this call: - As this is the last call of the year, we can utilize it to have a retrospective on the call series and talk about plans for 2026. - We also had a great discussion at the PTG session about how to refactor Ops-related activities, which we can keep exploring for further increased collaboration between related groups: * See Thierry's email for initial details: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.... * Meeting notes from October 31st: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour
