Exercise
========

Introduce yourself to the others at your table! Who you are,
what experience you have with OpenStack if any, what company
you are at and what your role is there, why you are attending
the course, etc.

   We will introduce ourselves first and then turn it over to them
   to talk to each other at their tables.
