Hi,

Foundation person here, at your service :)

Most everything we know about the ops meetups is on the wiki @:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups

including some data around those questions around logistics, structure, etc

I'm not a "US folk", but I'd like to help organise, and probably wander over if you'll have me :) I've also got colleagues that are pretty good at this event planning logistics kind of thing that we can also ask for assistance. Maybe also cash :)

As for the ML ... it seems like there is a great deal of interest on this mailing list in terms of how these kinds of events are run, based on the threads we had a few months back. We could perhaps start here and see how we go? I'm thinking that if there is a new ML justified by the traffic levels, it might be better to be named around organising ops events in general, rather than along geographical lines.


Regards,


Tom

So judging from the responses so far, I'd say there is an appetite for
doing this. There are also a lot of folks who don't seem to be on this
list including most of the other European commercial providers so I've
started reaching out to the contacts I have there, and to the other
fairly large scale private operators we know in the UK and Europe. It
would be great if others could do the same around any contacts they have
in the European OpenStack community who may have missed this thread.

So next steps - there's obviously a whole bunch of discussion to be had
around logistics, format, organisation etc. which is probably not best
placed on this list. Perhaps we can get an openstack-euoperators list on
lists.openstack.org <http://lists.openstack.org> set up ? Can someone
from the Foundation organise that for us ? It would also be great to
have some input from the US folks to guide us on format and structure as
we try and move this forward.

Does that sound like a sensible first step ?

    We have some Operations folks in London.  Depending on the timing
    of this, I  might be able to get some of them there as well.  With
    the next full summit being in North America, it makes a lot of
    sense to place the next Ops meet up in a different global
    location.  There has been discussion of this before to increase
    the chances of Operators being able to attend some portion of the
    events throughout the year by distributing their locations.

    Thanks!

    We could probably find one or more of the CERN operations team to
    come along too from the 3 OpenStack clouds we’ve got here.____

    Are Europe-based developers/vendors welcome too?  My project
    (Calico) is always keen to understand more about operator
    interests and requirements, so I'd be very happy to be there.

    I'm thinking we'll let this thread run for a day or so and
    hopefully gather a few more interested parties, then take the
    conversation off-list and see what the consensus is from those
    who've expressed an interest about how we might move this
    forward ? ____
