Open Stack

Hi everyone,

As you may have already noticed in the CFP[1], in Austin for the first 
time we'll have a conference track clearly targeted to upstream 
OpenStack developers (us all on this mailing-list). It will run on the 
Monday, /before/ the design summit tracks start, so it should actually 
be possible to attend them!

Presentations in this track will be specifically tailored to the people 
who write OpenStack source code. We should be able to learn about new 
development processes, get more information on tools that the 
infrastructure team gives us, discover new features in oslo libraries 
(or elsewhere) that your own OpenStack project could take advantage of, 
or share development best practices and other cool tricks.

So if you have a topic you feel is a good fit for that audience, feel 
free to submit[1] a talk for the "Upstream development" track! The 
deadline is February 1st. If you only have an idea of something that 
would make a great talk (but you aren't the best person to give it), 
then you can dump your idea on the brainstorming etherpad[2], it may 
inspire others.
