Stackers,

The Dell OpenStack team is coordinating a world-wide effort to work on Essex deployments this coming Thursday, 3/8.

We're organizing this via OpenStack meetups in Austin & Boston.   There is substantial opportunity for the community to work together on deployment issues around operating systems, platforms and components.  For this effort, my team is preparing to ensure participants can be immediately productive testing multi-node Essex installs on Ubuntu 12.04 + KVM + Chef Cookbooks + Crowbar.  We're hoping to have a broad range of people focused on this so we can resolve deployment related issues together.

We'd like to expand event to include more OpenStack deployers!

We've already got commitments from other groups to participate.  I won't speak for them here - they can reply and add their own comments.

Sorry for the late notice.  We started from Crowbar Essex and expanded as when interest grew so we've been coordinating the event on: https://github.com/dellcloudedge/crowbar/wiki/Install-Fest-Prep.  If there is interest from the OpenStack list please add comments to this thread.  I'd be happy move this to the OpenStack forums.

Thanks,

Rob

PS: Reminder that tomorrow (3/6) is the OpenStack Documentation Day!
