Open Stack

Well, the reason there hasn’t been much interaction here is because there haven’t been in-person events for over 9 months. I realize it’s still limited during event cycles, but I think having a ML specific to the community and User Group organizers is important because of the heavy traffic on the discuss ML. 

I think it’s fine to direct technical questions to the discuss ML and encourage people to register there, but I support keeping this ML because it allows us to discuss and communicate non-technical topics to user groups and organizers. 

There’s not a general Summit ML I’m aware of—that email is an alias. Renaming this ML to User-Groups would probably help clarify. As we roll into this next year, I think we’ll get a lot more use out of this list with the return of local meetups as well.

Even in the case of forwarding, I am afraid if the author is not registered to openstack-discuss and they do not see any answer/discussion for their query.
