Open Stack

Folks-
Thank you Diane, Nikki and Anne for a great Webinar on how to post a 
proposal.  I have put in a proposal (see below for the text), but I need 
two more people on the panel to round it out.  Please send me the email 
address you used for your membership so I can add you to the panel if 
you are interested.   I am also interested in creating a more technical 
panel on possibly how to contribute when working in distributed and 
remote teams.  If any one is interested in that, again drop me a note.

*Women of OpenStack – Standing Tall in the Room*

In just two amazing years, the Women of Openstack Group grew from a 
breakfast in Portland to an active working part of the OpenStack 
Community.Following an incredible IBM sponsored gathering at the 
beautiful ESPACE 56 in Paris the group held several productive working 
sessions on what to do next.There was agreement all around that it is 
important to encourage and promote more contributions to the Openstack 
project.This workshop is designed not only for women, but for any member 
of the OpenStack community who feels they need a bit of coaching in how 
to gain the confidence to contribute to our amazing and diverse 
community.Join this panel of empowered women as we cover some of the 
tips and tricks for getting heard in an environment filled with many 
egos and opinions. Learn how to navigate the differences between:

·Empowerment, not pushiness

·Confidence not brashness

·Technical prowess not just nerdiness

·Being heard when people are not listening

·Contributions, not bluster
