[openstack-community] OpenStack Summit proposal voting - not a fan
by Dave Neary 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi all, Rather than just complain into the ether, I wanted to let people know why I don't like the voting process for conference proposals and see if I'm the only one. I don't think that the voting process is the best way to gauge whether proposals will be good for the conference. There are a few reasons for that: * Having to hawk & promote proposal(s) is kind of unseemly, and makes us look small, I think. Hundreds of people going "vote for me!" doesn't make us look good. * Some people don't want to pitch themselves, others don't have access to as big a platform to promote * The same issues exist with this system which exist with board voting - there is a possibility that people will vote for their colleagues, not out of any corruption, but just because no-one has time to rate all the proposals, and they're more likely to rate those submitted by people they know more highly * Also, it's a self-selecting group of people who rate proposals - I don't think voters will be representative of summit attendees * After all is said and done, the proposals which are chosen by the voters are guidelines to the people who choose the talks for the tracks, the track leaders I have been a track leader for the last number of summits, and I've seen first hand great presentations get very low numbers of votes, while others which are not as interesting get very high numbers of votes and high ratings. Personally, I would be happy if we could change the system to remove the "pimp my talk" aspect for Summits.

[openstack-community] Request For Help At the Albany Open Source Festival - March 28th and 29th.
by Ken Hui 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

All, I want to ask for assistance with an open source themed event that will be occurring the last weekend of March, sponsored by the University of Albany in New York. Albany U is very interested in partnering with the OpenStack community to focus on Cloud Computing. Information on the festival can be found below: http://ocs.opensourcefestival.org/index.php/osf/osf14 I will be giving a keynote on Open Cloud Computing and OpenStack. However, we need folks in the OpenStack community who can help with the following: * Someone to lead a 3 hour workshop, on Friday, 3/28th, to help participants through an install and walk-though of OpenStack, using any distro of choice. * A couple of folks to conduct mock tech interviews with students to help prepare them for actual interviews with tech companies. Folks from HR and folks who would be conduction tech interviews would be extremely helpful. Beyond this festival, Albany U is also looking at other ways to integrate OpenStack into their official Comp Sci curriculum, including bringing in guest lecturers and using the training material that Sean Roberts has been spearheading. They are also interested in appearing on video and speaking at upcoming Summits on whatever they do to help bring OpenStack knowledge to their community. If you are interested in helping out, please reach out to me at ken.hui(a)rackspace.com. Thank you.

[openstack-community] Pods Still Available for OpenStack Pavilions at Interop/Cloud Connect and World Hosting Days
by Kathy Cacciatore 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Thank you for the enthusiastic response to these two events - both are sure to be well-attended and valuable to OpenStack exhibitors. Interop / Cloud Connect, Las Vegas, NV, April 1-3. These two events have combined to one BIG one, with over 12,000 attendees expected. A pod in the OpenStack Pavilion is $6K and includes almost everything (Internet, power, graphics) AND a spot on a 45 minute panel directly off the show floor. There are just a few pods left.. World Hosting Days, Rust, Germany, April 1-3. This is the best event for service providers we've seen. A kiosk in the OpenStack community is 5K Euro, also including most support items. If your firm targets service providers, you won't want to miss this event. Please contact me at kathyc(a)openstack.org to participate! Thank you. -- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org
