Open Stack

I had jokingly called it the 'OpenStack Community Working Midcycle' during
the UC meeting because I always wondered if the Gathering part of PTG had
made it hard for people to get support to go. But I really do like the word
contributor mentioned here and I think we should stress that in the
re-naming as Operators and their feedback are a very large contribution.
