• RackSpace Unlocked.io RoadShow - http://unlocked.io/#home

Topic 1 – Mark, tell us a little bit about your role in the Foundation and also about the greater foundation as an entity as well.  Wayne, you don’t work for the RackSpace Hybrid Cloud Team, what is your role and how is it different?

Topic 2 - Mark, we’ve probably all heard a good bit about OpenStack as a product and it is constantly evolving as we lead up to the Havana release.  Tonight is the “official” 3rd Birthday party here at OSCON.  How has the Foundation grown over the years and how has it evolved?  How did you manage the explosive growth?

Topic 3 – Project vs. Product vs. Service vs. Service Provider confusion- (I’m talking project today)  Your take?  What would you say are the keys to the success of the project?

Topic 4 – Do Again?  Not Do Again?  Hong Kong for next Summit?

Topic 5 - Wayne, you are doing something cool, this unlocked.io roadshow program.  I took a look at the slides and this isn’t about pushing a product, this feels like more of an education on devops and cloud era application and workload development

Topic 1 – Let’s start with your background, how you got so involved with the VMware world and how it’s recently transitioned to being OpenStack centric.

Topic 2 - Technically (and religiously), VMware and OpenStack are very different. How did you go about making the transition? Many of our listeners are trying to figure out where the start, what to learn, etc.

Topic 3 – What is vBrownbag and how has it evolved (globally) from VMware-centric to adding the OpenStack elements? How has the transition gone and any insight into how it’s going worldwide?

Topic 4 – Talk about the OpenStack book you’ve been writing, and how that process (community-based, intense week of group writing) has been different than other books you’ve written.
