I can't actually offer AT&T resources without getting some level of
management approval first, but just for the sake of discussion here's
some info about the telepresence system we use.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ATS B2B Telepresence conferences can be conducted with an external company's
Telepresence room(s), which subscribe to the AT&T Telepresence Solution,
or a limited number of other Telepresence service provider's networks.

Currently, the number of Telepresence rooms that can participate in a B2B
conference is limited to a combined total of 20 rooms (19 of which can be
AT&T rooms, depending on the number of remote endpoints included).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

We currently have B2B interconnect with over 100 companies and AT&T has
telepresence rooms in many of our locations around the US and around
the world. If other large OpenStack companies also have telepresence
rooms that we could interconnect with I think it might be possible
to get management agreement to hold a couple OpenStack meetups per
year.

Most of our rooms are best suited for 6 people, but I know of at least
one 18 person telepresence room near me.
