Open Stack

I guess what I'm trying to say by "Users and Operators" covers carriers and
telcos. By User I mean folks that consume OpenStack resources and by
Operator I mean folks that supply OpenStack resources. Maybe all can be
called Users but whatever one calls it, what I mean basically is
Non-Developers actually working on and with OpenStack. :)



Cheers

I like this idea and agree it should be a priority. I do suggest the focus
area be expanded (or a second focus day) to accommodate carriers and telcos
and their operations needs (they are real operators).



There is a ton of work being done by the leading telco's around NFV and SDN
(many in emerging use cases) using OpenStack. I can very easily see
"operations" being a killer issue and something that should be more broadly
addressed. Last summit the forum for that track of discussions was by a
vendor - next summit this area should be made more neutral and inclusive.

G'day OpenStackLand,



I have an idea for the next summit to put forward...



Like we have the various project design summit session days at the summits,
I think it'd be really useful to have an Operators and Users day at the
very start of the next summit (and hopefully all of them in future if it
works out). So far at the last 4 summits I've attended, from the users and
operators point of view we've had a rag tag bunch of disconnected panels
and 40 minute sessions that really don't get anywhere much and don’t make
it to any sort of plan or worthwhile result. This proposed "Operators and
Users" day will be run like the design summit session days where all of us
that have to deal with the consequences of the software development of this
project sit in a room and work the issues. The goal is to present real
world, evidence based Operator, User, and even other input like Sales and
Marketing experiences back into the development teams. Maybe we might even
have our own "Operators and Users" lounge too. :-P







Cheers

Tristan
