Re: [openstack-community] Calling all user group and meetup organizers

 

Dear all,

Thank you for inviting us to join this special meeting. I'm the coordinator
of Vietnam OpenStack Community (VietOpenStack). I would love to join this
meeting. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I couldn't make it because the meeting
is going to be at 2am in Vietnam. However, it would be great if we could
have the MOM and recorded audio from the meeting so that we don't miss too
much. Like Atul, I would like to brief you all on our community activities:
- We have approx. 90 members till date
- We have organized 1 seminar and 2 meetup events. Meetup 3 is on the way.
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VietOpenStack

Kind regards,
Hang Tran
DTT Technology Group
