[openstack-community] Bringing focus to the Operators and Users at the next summit

Oops, my bad :-/

I went to some of those talks but didn't fully realize that they were part
of a unified track.

Anyway, I think maybe Tristan's point is to have a similar format to the
developer sessions but instead with a focus on operations/deployment.

This is going to be tough though.  Vendors are naturally much more
interested in the operations/deployment side for obvious reasons and that
sets up more challenges for managing the meetings effectively and openly.

Anyway, I think it's a good idea (if I understood Tristan correctly).
