Event planning for next year:

As part of the Community Working Group issue queue, we’re asking for recommendations of events that Gluster should be focusing on. https://github.com/gluster/community/issues/7 has more details, we’re planning from March 2018 through March 2019 and we’d like your input! Where should Gluster be at?
