Open Stack

Hey David,

Nope, no action taken in a separate meeting. I had been thinking about this
for some time from the OpenStack Days China operators event in July as I
mentioned in the session and just wanted to get something down based on
things that had been swirling in my head and some notes I had sitting
around. Feel free to use the Google Doc or not, totally ok. I wanted to be
sure we captured key items from the Summit and got them down in the open to
ensure larger community is aware of what we are working on as UC.

>>       the chance to do it as they see fit; no exact way but discussion actively
>>       going on, get involved
>>    2. Operator midcycle integration into larger event/feedback ecosystem

>>       and we have to be sure that we tie into that process as it is designed.

>>       biggest need is to ensure tying into bigger ecosystem
>>    3. More operator proposed forum sessions
>>       - Very much tied to #2.
>>       4. Vision casting exercise
>>       - TC and documentation team has gone through this exercise; Doug

>>       - Ensuring there is more parity between TC and UC.
>>       - Carrying forward from Boston Forum
>>          - Feel free to crash each others meetings
>>
>> User Survey
>>

>> OpenLab
>>
>>    - Initiated by OpenStack Foundation, Huawei, and Intel, currently
>>    involved companies include Deutsche Telekom and VEXXHOST. OpenLab currently
>>    is focusing on SDKs moving to define, stabilize, and support official
>>    OpenStack SDKs. Gophercloud is currently using OpenLab and work is being

>>    - Another phase of OpenLab is to tightly integrate with or learn

>>    of XCI and could possibly lead to re-branding XCI as OpenLab increasing the
>>    scope, collaboration, and integration of OpenLab components and Open Source
>>    communities.
>>    - As the UC, OpenLab is important to us, as it targets the user
>>    community of OpenStack and other user communities of

>>
>> Cross-Community Participation
>>
>>    - gophercloud/terraform/k8s
>>       - greatly part of OpenLab (gophercloud integrated, terraform
>>       almost - +unittests/-acceptancetests - researching k8s connection
>>       - many sessions regarding SIGs of both k8s and OpenStack where
>>       many folks were interested in increased cross-pollination and not being
>>       redundant
>>    - OPNFV's XCI - mentioned previously also closely tied to OpenLab -
>>    first meeting scheduled for Friday 11/17 9-10am CST - reply if interested
>>    - It makes sense for entire community to look for ways to work more
>>    closely with other communities relevant to current and future work
>>
>> SIGs
>>
>>    - Concern from UC on relevance due to many going to SIGs model -
>>    should discuss further via ML openstack-sigs with [meta] tag
>>    - Bi-weekly "newsletter/digest" much like the openstack-dev list
