Open Stack

I’ve scheduled a Hangout and added it to the etherpad too:

I do think that with such a full agenda time will be at a premium and would like to discuss strategic topics and items we have been putting on the midcycle agenda for a while in person rather than over IRC.

So we'll get the blocking and tackling done early and get our juices flowing. Since these are preliminary discussions, this also means that if we have a few folks trickling in late due to travel arrangements, they’ll still have plenty of chances to make their voices heard later in the scoring process.

These discussions are likely to be more intense and will inform much of our thinking for the remaining sessions in the midcycle, and the timeslot here is more friendly to some folks who’ve expressed an interest in joining us remotely.

This gives us a little more flexibility in the schedule, although it’s still a pretty full agenda. You’ll notice a few built-in “fudge time” sessions for each grouping, so we’ll have a little leeway if we need to run over on something or need to take a break.
