AUSTIN SESSION FEEDBACK During the OpenStack Summit in Austin we did not receive as many sessions ratings as we'd have liked via the mobile app. Here’s another chance to provide feedback to speakers. You'll find that the session list is based on your personal schedule. If you didn't attend one of the sessions listed, just skip it. We will also be improving the in-app feedback mechanism for future Summits. Please note that all feedback will be publicly viewable including your name. Click here <https://www.openstack.org/summit/austin-2016/review> to rate the Summit sessions that you attended in Austin. If you have any general Summit questions, contact us at summit(a)openstack.org <mailto:summit@openstack.org>. Erin Disney OpenStack Marketing erin(a)openstack.org <mailto:erin@openstack.org>

Updates to Code of Conduct
by Lauren Sell 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi everyone, There is strong interest from the community to update the OpenStack Code of Conduct. The goals are to encourage diversity, provide more explicit guidance around what is acceptable (or not acceptable) behavior, and clarify the reporting and enforcement process. We need the Board to approve changes to the code of conduct since it is referenced in the Foundation bylaws. You can find an updated version in the google doc below, which is the result of multiple contributors from the Diversity Working Group and community at large. It was also circulated on the Foundation mailing list last week for feedback. Proposed updates: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N4RjiEO6KmKBKOMJZw3GATMQDr9fbysbZnnnjIB… We have some time reserved during tomorrow’s meeting to discuss and vote on the new version. If the changes are accepted, the updated Code of Conduct will appear on this page (where you can also find the current version): https://www.openstack.org/legal/community-code-of-conduct/ Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts in the meantime. Thanks, Lauren
