Open Stack

That's one of the points I mentioned in my candidacy: whom we're
building the software for. As a service maintainer and upstream
developer of a public cloud based on OpenStack, I would say some times
we're mixing the term 'users'. The user in OpenStack world includes
*operators* and *tenant users* (developers or devops using the cloud).
We have done a good job to get the feedback from operators with "user"
survey, operators mailing list, etc. But we don't have a good way to
hear the voices from those tenant users, including developers and
devops. And that's very important for the near future of OpenStack.
