This is great Kenny!

I will see about attending one of the PWG sessions in the next few weeks.

What I was thinking and maybe this works or doesn't was to have the "OSOps"
group be that central point where Operators could feed User Stories.   I
was thinking that this may make it easier for groups to see all the
Operators requests, User Stories, complaints, appreciations, etc in one
central location.  That way if someone didn't know that there was say
Product Work Group, they at least could get their story down for others to
see.
