Open Stack

Hi Sean,
  Thanks for taking the initiative to organize this.

I'd like to toss another agenda item if I may.
I started, and currently help organize the Boston meetup, and we've been blessed with lots of local resources, both in terms of facilities and openstack enthusiasts.
Feedback I've gotten from multiple folks is that it would be useful to make available technical experts on up and coming projects (ceilometer, heat, new quantum services , cinder etc). While in the past I coordinated with project PTL's to locate local experts, it might be more efficient (and less troubling to PTL's) to have a community effort around this. If local presence is less than possible, then various collaboration tools could work.
After that long promo, the agenda item would be - how do UG's help with incubating projects, and what kind of support the Openstack community at large supports that?

Regards,
a.

Subject: Re: [openstack-community] Calling all user group and meetup organizers

Agenda for tomorrow's user group / meetup planning meeting

 *
 *   Review of user group and meetup template
 *   Meetups fit into the larger plan of user committee and summit to summit development how?
 *   Where would be the location for social materials like videos, meetup logs, and other meeting related items?
 *   Where do operators go to figure out how to run OpenStack in production?
 *   Can the Foundation start working with some Universities for meeting space, sponsorship, and student participation? Is the Foundation interested in Phd thesis sponsorship?
 *   If possible I like to get some supporters for a groups.openstack.org site, including content writers and some developer resources from the community. We have a lot of knowledge about running / starting an user group, and need to write it down, publish on the site and share it with newcomers.  I think this is answered by the user group template information that will be published to http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups.
 *   Should there be an OpenStack user group and/or meetup approval process? How do we clean up user groups and meetups that are abandoned?

Hi Séan,

I run the OpenStack Ireland meetup group, just wondering if your meeting is targeting only groups in the East Coast of the USA?

Kind Regards,
Tim
