Open Stack

The openstack operators meetings have a preference for 'users'
vs. 'vendors' since the vendors have every opportunity to get their
message across at the Summit in the vendor sessions, the marketplace
etc. Meanwhile, operators need a venue to share frank, unfettered,
possibly highly critical info about products and core openstack
components.

For the purposes of getting the meet ups organised then, the following
definition is proposed:

Updated Definition:

All attendees at an OpenStack operators mid-cycle meetup ('the
meetup') should be willing and able to discuss issues arising from
operating OpenStack cloud at some kind of scale, including
ideally having direct experience of OpenStack cloud operation
or expectation of that in future. Representatives from organisations
having both a vendor and a user role in the OpenStack community should
wear their user hat for the purposes of the meetup. Attendance by
those fitting these guidelines is highly encouraged.
