Open Stack

Whoops, just realised I can't send to these lists with multiple additional
recipients, so sending again separately ..

Thank you for all of your interest in this proposal. In order to move
things to the next stage I need to organise a first IRC meeting, and I
think it's probably most appropriate to book one of the openstack-meeting
channels rather than use openstack-operators. Having looked at the current
usage, it looks like every 2 weeks on a Wednesday would work initially, and
there are two times which look possible, 14:00 and 19:00 UTC. The meeting
schedule is fairly complicated, so there may be other options if neither of
these works for a quorum, but can I suggest we start with these options and
work from there ? I've put together a Doodle poll with the two options, and
I'd appreciate your participation in the poll before I go ahead and try to
book a slot.
