Open Stack

Hello Ildiko,

Great!

But unfortunately, due to my personal schedule, approximately, Sep 7 
12:00 UTC - 9 12:00 UTC will not be available for me.

Would it be okay to have a sprint on around Sep 10-15?


With many thanks,

/Ian

I think that gives us enough time to figure out the sprint goals and it’s still in time from the Summit/training perspective, so we can either have another round of this if needed or work more offline on remaining items.

Thanks guys!
