<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">I attended a talk by Mark Baker today (<a href="http://sched.co/2qbJ" target="_blank">http://sched.co/2qbJ</a>) entitled “The OpenStack Summit Talk Selection Process is Broken” and I think it was
an informative session.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The statistics presented indicated that just under a third of the talks submitted got accepted at this summit and that is a very healthy ratio and that’s a great thing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">One thing that was brought up at the talk was that there was no formal feedback mechanism about talks and keynotes at Summit. Is there any way in which we can get a feedback mechanism
for the talks and sessions at this summit up and running? It would be a valuable piece of information if we could get it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Any thoughts on how this can be done? There were 296 sessions; we obviously know the names of the sessions and the speakers. Does our scheduling mechanism have a ‘ratings module’
that can be turned on? Is there some other quick and dirty mechanism we can use?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">It would be awesome if we could quickly get something in place before we all leave Vancouver so we can gather this information and it could serve as a valuable form of input for future
selection committees.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">P.S. I gave a talk and if there’s no formal mechanism for feedback I welcome email on the subject. The talk was about Trove and replication with MySQL on Monday evening.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
