Open Stack

Thanks Shamail - 

We’ve just completed a first pass on our brainstorming in the Scientific WG.  Some ideas from a research computing perspective are here:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BOS-UC-brainstorming-scientific-wg

More input from WG members (and anyone else) is of course welcome and appreciated.

Best wishes,
Stig

If not, note that this is not a classic conference track with speakers and presentations. OpenStack community members (participants in development teams, working groups, and other interested individuals) discuss the topics they want to cover and get alignment on and we welcome your participation.

Boston marks the start of the Queen's release cycle, where ideas and requirements will be gathered. Users should aim to come armed with feedback from February's Ocata release if at all possible. We aim to ensure the broadest coverage of topics that will allow for multiple parts of the community getting together to discuss key areas within our community/projects.

Then, through +1s on etherpads and mailing list discussion, work out which ones are the most needed - just like you did prior to the ops events.
