Open Stack

Hi Kenny,

This is great feedback!  I think some of that content was in the marketing
launch (which was an open call for all who wanted to attend), please review
this deck[1] and let me know if this does a better job of describing the
value proposition for Liberty.

The docs team is planning to re-work release notes going forward (they got
a lot of feedback at the summit), but I'll add a +1 to your idea of maybe
our team helping create a 2-3 page overview of new releases which a focus
on user benefits (which we find sifting through release notes).

This also leads to another question... when are release notes "due"? I am
wondering how much lead time we could get to generate this 2-3 page
overview in time for the launch itself.

Have a great weekend!

Regards,
Shamail
