I'd like to follow up on this list specifically regarding this idea ...

How much appetite is there for an Ops fishbowl session in the
Barcelona design summit specifically as a forum for operators to
provide feedback on experiences with High Availability?  This would be
an opportunity for operators to bitc^H^H^H^Hpraise existing solutions
and provide feedback to developers on future changes in HA
architecture / functionality :-)

And if there is enough appetite, what's the best way to propose it
being added to the Ops track schedule?  Is it organised by the same
folks who organize other Ops meetups?

Thanks!
