And maybe these talks are not relevant for that track,<br>being so specific and only relevant to cinder developers and all.<br><br>I believe these presentations would help the cinder team increase the<br>adoption speed of these features while reducing the learning curve and<br>the number of bugs introduced in the code caused by gaps in our<br>knowledge and misinterpretations of the new functionality.<br><br>I would take lead on the conditional DB updates functionality, and I<br>would have no problem doing the Rolling upgrades presentation as well.<br>But I believe there are people more qualified and more deserving of<br>doing that one; though I offer my help if they want it.<br><br>I have added those 3 topics to the Etherpad with Newton Cinder Design<br>Summit Ideas [1] so people can volunteer and express their ideas in<br>there.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Gorka.<br><br>__________________________________________________________________________<br>OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)<br>Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe<br></tt><tt><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</a></tt><tt><br><br></tt><br><br><BR>
