Open Stack

Hi all,

At the Austin summit, we had about 35 of us in the room who agreed in 
general that it was a good idea to form this team.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this doodle poll 
(ensuring your timezone is appropriately set):

so that we can have our first meeting next week!

Regards,



Tom
