Open Stack

+1 to all of the above. Thank you Stefano for the perspective of this event
from afar, the Guadalajara team has achieved amazing feats. Based on its
success, we are hoping to see to this community event grow to other Latin
American cities, i.e. next year GDL, Mexico City and Buenas Aires?!

To improve these hackathons -as the community grows- we are working with
the UX project (as lead by Danielle and Pieter) whom have been a priceless
edition to working with Application Engineers and Developers as they come
to terms with cloud application deployment patterns.

@Danielle - what are the timelines for the results from the focus group
which Danny and Marcella conducted in Guadalajara with the extensive mentor
team?

Also @Marcella could you confirm if you'll be presenting the initial
results of this focus group at the Barcelona summit?  I would especially
like to make sure we have Public Cloud providers like Stefano, Jean,
Petter, Matt/Sean, Bruno, Everett, et al (Cc'd) in attendance so they can
further enable their customers with this user feedback.

Looking forward to further conversation in Barcelona with regards to all of
the above.

Kind Regards,

Flanders
