Open Stack

Hi Jay,

Just copying my reply to your post on the community list from last month:

"""
Generally, the ops meetups tend to be about the running of existing 
projects, and tend to focus on the infrastructure level - I'm not sure 
you'd get much useful feedback there if the big discussion is about the 
IOS library level.

On the other hand, to gather some information about how people run their 
clouds for feeding into a potential app use of those IOS libs, the 
openstack-operators mailing list would be a point. Starting a 
wide-ranging discussion around best practice for managing/monitoring 
openstack, without even mentioning your end goal initially would 
probably be the kind of thing that would go down well there.
"""

Since then there doesn't appear to be any posts on the mailing list 
related to Vanaha. Space at the ops meetup is fairly competitive - more 
than a few proposed sessions did not make it this time. In order to 
ensure there'd be sufficient interest in a session at the ops meetup for 
Vahana, I would suggest you raise interest in the project using the 
mailing list, and then submit it on the planning etherpad for a future 
event.



Regards,


Tom

Something look like a terrible idea? Want to completely change the room layout? There's still a little bit of flexibility at this stage.
