To kick off the Operators meetup, meet some of the PTLs and TC members, ask them questions and hear about how to get the best out of the Design Summit as an experienced OpenStack Operator.
The Ops Meetup, organized by the User Committee, is a new track comprised of collaborative, working sessions for people who are operating OpenStack clouds (and contributors who want to hear from them). The purpose is to share knowledge and best practices among cloud operators, as well as provide feedback based on experience running OpenStack. The aim of the feedback is to assist the development community in their planning of future releases, ensuring a wide range of operational scenarios are taken into account when architecting new features. There will be no formal presentations, and a moderate level of knowledge around running OpenStack is assumed. If you're just starting out, the Operations Track [
