Open Stack

Yup. I think it’s time to get out. We said we’d move if we’re running into
a problem or changes happen. This is the case now.

I’ve setup a small Google Meet for today to discuss things because quite
honestly, I don’t think the IRC is viable for this discussion in terms of
how urgent this needs to be done and the potential for interruption.   The
meeting is in 3 hours exactly.

OpenStack network migration

I would appreciate if our community joined so we can get an actionable plan
as quickly as possible.

Thanks for everyone’s comments and I hope that we’re going to have a lot of
hands to help us, because there will be a non trivial amount of work and a
few decisions to be made.

I’ll add an etherpad for this discussion shortly.
