Open Stack

Hi team, I’d like to suggest that we spend more time on the “Goals and Priority Sharing” and homework item #1. In my view our ability to discuss individual company priorities and roadmaps will be critical component of our success. Can we expand the time for a discussion and recognition of where our roadmaps align from a use case perspective and adjustments we could make to get them to align from a timing perspective?

I think it is great that we are starting with this topic and it will be a good base for the subsequent Use Case prioritization session.

Thanks!

I would say an hour is sufficient.

Subject: Re: [OpenStack][Product WG] Agenda for Mid-Cycle Meetup

Hi everyone,

Thanks for sending this out Carol, it looks great.

I wanted to call out some of the homework for the team based on the agenda items:

  *   Be ready to articulate your companies goals/strategy/priorities around your OpenStack offerings.
  *   Please review the existing user stories in the google drive and rate them 12-1 (higher # = higher priority in your opinion) and be prepared to discuss your perspective at the mid-cycle
  *   Commit user stories that you authored to our repository (openstack/openstack-user-stories) prior to the mid-cycle [stretch goal]
Question:
Would the team like for me to walk-through a user story "commit" to our repository during our mid-cycle?  I am not sure how many people are already familiar with the process or would like to have a mini tutorial session.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shamail
