The technical committee held a community leaders forum to bubble up issues affecting teams and reignite awareness about the Vulnerability Management Team and ongoing community goals. Also this PTG, OpenStack Operators and community members gathered to discuss how to better engage with people in operations roles and re-frame the way they collaborate as a group and participate in the larger community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about discussions that went on at the PTG, you can find find a list of the team summaries that have been published below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/BX2GM4ESUY3RJVRT5TZXKP3HL7QT2YDP\/\">Cinder By: Jon Bernard<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/WABAAUVUOHEWCBXAYM53EAGJ6EF6JUTG\/\">Eventlet Removal WG By: Herve Beraud<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/XBEYBGUDCPEQVDVLWWWGVRKQO6JZXL56\/\">Glance By: Cyril Roelandt<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/Q3IJ2QGL5ANVPTEIXW622UCRMMHZC637\/\">Heat By: Takashi Kajinami<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/ASXEDMRKOSBPN3YL7NYOSIGBAOMWMD4B\/\">Horizon By Tatiana Ovchinnikova<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/S3ACT4HKWQQAZFS62HBQMWZX3RGT2WQX\/\">Ironic By: Julia Kreger<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/LZYVJKTELNOHGN6CB4SXV33H7CHM4SMN\/\">Manila By: Carlos da Silva<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/T6CLTKTGQM7KPV3GXATC4DJ4SUTOBM6N\/\">Nova By: Rene Ribaud<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/YLWX4RCPZ3UZ22RX2JWMQM7JUND4KW3S\/\">OpenStack Ansible By: Dmitriy Rabotyagov<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/X46FCYP446WAEZELIBRM4D6C56KZBF7F\/\">Tacker By: Yasufumi Ogawa<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/AR623LRF7OADOJ4T3ETQW73QFOZ3F37U\/\">Technical Committee By: Goutham Pacha Ravi<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lists.openstack.org\/archives\/list\/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org\/thread\/JJGOTIERMNE2ABAWTE7KP2I7HT7PDNQZ\/\">Watcher By: Douglas Viroel<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to everyone that participated in this PTG!
