Forum sessions aren't meant to have speakers like a normal presentation. They are all set up parliamentary style w/ one or more moderators. However, the moderator can manage the room any way they'd like. If you want to promote the people that will be in the room, this can be added to the abstract. > > -Sylvain > > > Cheers, > Jimmy > > > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: > OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > <http://OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe> > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Forum Submissions would be considered separate and non-Forum submissions will not be considered for the Forum. The submission process is based on the track you submit to and, in the case of the Forum, we separate this track out from the rest of the submission process. If you think there is still something funky, send me a note via speakersupport(a)openstack.org or jimmy(a)openstack.org and I'll work through it with you. Cheers, Jimmy

[openstack-community] Forum Topic Submission Period
by Jimmy McArthur 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Hello Everyone! The Forum Topic Submission session started September 12 and will run through September 26th. Now is the time to wrangle the topics you gathered during your Brainstorming Phase and start pushing forum topics through. Don't rely only on a PTL to make the agenda... step on up and place the items you consider important front and center. As you may have noticed on the Forum Wiki (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum) we're reusing the normal CFP tool this year. We did our best to remove Summit specific language, but if you notice something, just know that you are submitting to the Forum. URL is here: https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/call-for-presentations Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions! If you have questions or concerns about the process, please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers, Jimmy

[openstack-community] [ptls] [user survey] User Survey Privacy
by Jimmy McArthur 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi PTLs! A recent question came up regarding public sharing of the Project-Specific feedback questions on the OpenStack User Survey. The short answer is... this is a great idea! This information is meant to help projects improve and the information is not meant to be kept secret. Oddly enough, nobody asked before lbragstad, so thanks for asking! The long answer... I would like to add a little bit of background on the user survey and how we treat the data. Part of the agreement we make with users that fill out the User Survey is we will keep their data anonymized. As a result, when we publish data on the website[1] we ensure the user can see data from no fewer than 10 companies at a time. Additionally, the User Committee, who helps with the data analysis, sign an NDA before reviewing any data, which helps to preserve user privacy. All that said, the questions for PTLs are framed as "Project Feedback", so the expectation and hope is that PTLs will not only use it to improve their projects, but will also share it amongst other relevant projects. As excited as we are to have you share this data with the community, we do want to make sure there is nothing that would reveal the identity of the survey taker. We've already vetted the English content, but we are still waiting on translations to finish up. So, if you decide to share the data publicly, please only share the English content for the time being. Feel free to reference this email or hit us up on the user-committee(a)lists.openstack.org <mailto:user-committee@lists.openstack.org> Beyond that, we encourage you to follow in Keystone's footsteps and share this feedback with the mailing list, at the PTG, or even with a buddy. We hope it's valuable to your project and the community at large! Net: PTLs, please share the project feedback publicly (e.g. on the mailing lists) now (with the above caveats). Cheers, Jimmy [1] https://www.openstack.org/analytics <https://www.openstack.org/analytics>

It would be more accurate to say that community surprise over the StarlingX mention in Vancouver keynotes caused some people to (either actually or merely in half-jest) start looking for subtext everywhere indicating the next big surprise announcement. The discussion[*] in #openstack-tc readily acknowledged that most of its participants didn't think "OpenStack One Platform for containers/VMs/Bare Metal" was an actual proposal for a forum discussion much less announcement of a new project, but were just looking for an opportunity to show feigned alarm and sarcasm. The most recent discussion[**] leading up to the foundation ML "OSF Open Infrastructure Projects" update occurred the previous week. That E-mail did go out the day after the forum topic brainstorming example discussion, but was unrelated (and already in the process of being put together by then).

100% correct. Just a random example text that we've been reusing since early 2017. Next time, we will consider lorem ipsum ;) Jim Rollenhagen wrote: > On Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 12:51 PM, Jimmy McArthur <jimmy(a)openstack.org > <mailto:jimmy@openstack.org>> wrote: > <snip> > > Examples of typical sessions that make for a great Forum: > > Strategic, whole-of-community discussions, to think about the big > picture, including beyond just one release cycle and new technologies > > e.g. OpenStack One Platform for containers/VMs/Bare Metal > (Strategic session) the entire community congregates to share > opinions on how to make OpenStack achieve its integration engine goal > > > Just to clarify some speculation going on in IRC: this is an example, > right?
