Open Stack

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for bringing this up! 

Egle and Mark have done very good work and I want to express my gratefulness to them!

I have participated in that group before, though unfortunately have not been able to do so in 2019.
I am willing and able to participate again, but I don't have the depth that Egle and Mark have. I'm certainly happy to help and be the liaison to the board.

And I fully agree that this WG continues to be very important!

@Egle: Please share your thoughts how this can work out!

Thanks,
-- Kurt
