Open Stack

Team,

Thierry sent an email to all PTLs about space needs for next Summit.

Here's what we can have:

* Fishbowl sessions (from Wednesday 4pm to Friday noon)
Our traditional largish rooms organized in fishbowl style, with
advertised session content on the summit schedule for increased external
participation. Ideal for when wider feedback is essential.

* Workroom sessions (from Wednesday 4pm to Friday noon)
Smaller rooms organized in boardroom style, with topic buried in the
session description, in an effort to limit attendance and not overcrowd
the room. Ideal to get work done and prioritize work in small teams.

* Contributors meetup (Friday afternoon)
Half-day session on Friday afternoon to get into the Ocata action while
decisions and plans are still hot, or to finish discussions started
during the week, whatever works for you.

Note:
- Ops summit on Tuesday morning until 4pm
- Cross-project workshops from Tuesday 4pm to Wednesday 4pm

As a reminder, here's what we had for Austin:
Fishbowl slots (Wed-Thu): 2
Workroom slots (Tue-Thu): 3
Contributors meetup (Fri): 1/2

Notes from Thierry:
"We'll have less slots compared to Austin, and new teams to accommodate.
So as a rule of thumb, you should probably require *less* slots than in
Austin. It's also worth noting that the Ocata cycle will be a short
cycle (likely only 15 weeks between the design summit and feature
freeze, including thanksgiving and other end-of-year holidays), so there
is no need to plan too much work."

I created an etherpad for topic ideas, feel free to start thinking about it:

Once we gather some feedback on the topics, shardy or me will contact
Thierry to ask for the fair number of rooms.
Thanks for reading so far,
