<DIV>Hi Sriram,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Piet, Ju, and I submitted a proposal with the following content:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Title:</DIV>
<DIV>Development and Application of the OpenStack Personas</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Abstract:</DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This session builds on Dave Neary’s previous efforts to develop a set of personas to help the development community align with their users’ needs and tasks.</P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The team will share updates from the newly formed OpenStack Persona Working Group, which is made up of members from over ten global companies. The session will include a review of the methodology used to develop the personas, insights from the user interviews and the personas created from the effort. </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Finally, the team will provide recommendations and examples for how the community can effectively use the personas during their own planning, design, development, and testing efforts to improve user experience.</P>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Let us know if you have any feedback!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also, to update everyone on the timeline…the voting for sessions will go live on Wednesday (the 19th) and folks will be notified by March 20th if their sessions have been accepted.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>Liz</DIV></DIV>
