As part of this effort I was chairman and co-organizer of the Openstack Operators Meetups team and we successfully organized multiple meetups around the world including in New York, London, Tokyo, Berlin and Mexico City

The future of OpenStack operators meetups and community

In the before times, OpenStack operators met several times a year to network, exchange experience and to bring feedback to the OpenStack development community based on experience of using OpenStack in production at scale. Since the pandemic, and with shrinking travel budgets, in-person meetups have become extremely rare. On the other hand, interest in OpenStack is growing again.
We'll take a fresh, no-holds barred look at the status quo and discuss what works for the community in this new reality.
