I am an artist. This means I live in a perverse fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding.

Subject: Re: [User-committee] OpenStack End User Working Group

No sads Rainya, you have superuser.openstack.org<http://superuser.openstack.org> and an existing User Committee that has already done a ton of work around that particular OpenStack persona. :)

It's the next layer that the end-user effort is working on, and to me this next frontier exploration explains why definitions are crucial for focusing efforts.

Hope is not a strategy, but it can help you get out of bed in the morning.
