Mark, I would be happy to help out on a panel. I am currently a co-organizer for three OpenStack user groups in the Norttheast US. Thank you.

I have submitted a presentation abstract for the upcoming summit in Hong Kong, titled "The role of the community managers in the OpenStack community". http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/become-a-spe... One of the interesting things about the OpenStack project is in addition the excellent work being done by Stephano working for the Foundation, many of the participating organizations have community managers, directors of engagement, and other such people in such roles also engaged with the project and with the community. I don’t want to be the only guy on stage. In fact, if we can make it a panel discussion of all the community managers, that would be best, and would be a better and more useful presentation. Who else is interested in signing up as a co-presenter, and making this a panel? ..m
