Oops, my bad :-/ I went to some of those talks but didn't fully realize that they were part of a unified track. Anyway, I think maybe Tristan's point is to have a similar format to the developer sessions but instead with a focus on operations/deployment. This is going to be tough though. Vendors are naturally much more interested in the operations/deployment side for obvious reasons and that sets up more challenges for managing the meetings effectively and openly. Anyway, I think it's a good idea (if I understood Tristan correctly). -Adam -- Kili.io - OpenStack for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 8:33 PM, Jeremy Stanley <fungi@yuggoth.org> wrote:

FWIW, over the past couple summits I've been most scrutinizing of any talks which look like they have some chance of being warped into a vendor-specific sales pitch, and choose open forum/panel formats and presentations from deployers before all else. Put in abstracts for these sorts of sessions and I can pretty well guarantee, at least for any track I chair, that they'll be selected. -- Jeremy Stanley
