Mark, I know you don't mean to, but the above sounds quite self-serving
and, if I dare, disingenuous.  Are you suggesting that all people
interested in OpenStack are in the same timezone, or close to it? Are you
suggesting that all people interested in it have the same flexibility in
scheduling that you do? To simply dismiss what I consider valuable and
useful information with a "you weren't there so be quiet" statement
disenfranchises *HUGE* parts of the OpenStack community who *do* care.
