There have been a number of conversations going on about having an
informal RDO community meetup at OpenStack Summit next week in Paris.
You may have seen the conversation about doing a BOF, and that there
are no plans to have BOF rooms available at the venue.
Two alternate plans have been discussed. We're currently planning to
have a conversation over lunch on Wednesday, which is when some people
are able to attend.
We're also investigating getting a meeting room at the Meriden, across
the street from the conference venue, for Wednesday evening, after the
last session (ends 18:10) and before the Red Hat/eNovance party
(starts 20:00).
Topics to discuss include getting more non-Red Hat people involved in
RDO packaging, and the steps to get to that reality.
How many people would be interested in attending such a meetup? If you
are, please make a note on
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO_Meetup_Summit
We're still investigating evening meeting room options, so that's
still tentative at this point, and we'll probably keep the Lunch
gathering either way.

It would also help save time and have a productive discussion, if people
already start adding Agenda items there.
As a starter, I added a topic for bug triage (if anyone wants to
discuss), with the current status of RDO bugs:
https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/openstack/bugzilla/rdo-bug-status/...
We're still investigating evening meeting room options, so that's

So, it appears that a lunch meeting is difficult. Lauren's response
about commandeering a table at lunch can be seen at
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2014-October/000930.html but
the summary is that, since the summit is sold out, they don't want us
to take any more time than necessary at lunch tables, but just eat and
free it up for the next people.
Remaining options include:
* Meet at nearby restaurant. We're investigating the possibility of
reserving seating for 20-30 somewhere in walking distance.
* Obtain a BoF room, since this is a community event, which happens
*during* conference sessions. This means that people would have to
choose between this event and a session, which is unfortunate.
* Evening event, which is also difficult due to how packed every
evening of the event is.
All three of these are possible, but each has problems. Getting a room
at the Meridien or the Hyatt has proved to be very expensive.
So, in summary, we're still going to try really hard to do this
meetup, but we're still unsure where and when it's going to happen.
Thanks for your patience, and I'll be sure to let you know as soon as
we have something more definite.

As discussed on #rdo, as a worst case - since this is a public, open
meeting, we can just meetup in the hallway somewhere (probably near the
RDO booth, if space works out).

You can see a venue map at
https://www.openstack.org/assets/paris-summit/OS14ParisMapLevel01.pdf
and RDO is in the Red Hat booth at the top left. I can't really tell
what the Parc du Marche is - whether that's a space that we can
actually use for this kind of thing or not - but I suspect that we'd
be more likely to find room in one of the lounge areas over in Hôtel
Le Méridien, across the street, where the design summit is being held.
We'll scope it out when we get there, and make a sign to put up at the
booth.
And I'm also waiting to hear back from Lauren as to what rooms might
be available.
