Hi all,
A while back there was a proposal for a vertical navigation for Foreman
[1,2]. This has been rumbling on for a while, so I felt it might be
time to shine a spotlight on it and get some fresh voices in the
discussion. When it comes to UI changes though, I find screenshots hard
to visualize, so perhaps a live demo is in order… 
Accordingly, there will be a deep dive on Tuesday where Rox and Serena
will spend some time talking about what they feel is wrong with our
current UI (and horizontal UIs in general), how moving to a vertical
navigation helps, how it worked out for a couple of other communities,
and how it might look for us.
To be clear, these are still proposals at this stage, and we
definitely want to hear from people about how they feel on this - what
you feel is wrong with the current UI, and how we might fix it. This is
one approach, but perhaps you have other suggestions 
Feel free to join us live and ask questions to Rox & Serena via the
usual IRC or YouTube methods, or if you catch it later, we can continue
the discussion here on the mailing list.
Thanks!
Greg
