Open Stack

Nick, and others:

It is my understanding that the reason why we (me included) exported the data into a spreadsheet was because we wanted to do something that we couldn’t do in the tool.

Before making ‘export’ a feature, I’d rather see the things that we wanted to do assessed as change requests, and if enough people want to do that thing, maybe it’ll become a part of the tool.

Ideally, I would like it to be unnecessary to export the data; that would mean that the tool had all the capabilities that we wanted.

I realize that this is a very simplistic, and idealistic view of the world, but that would be both simple, and ideal.

Actually the last two summits tracks I've worked with have finished up in spreadsheets, where we've organized submissions by topic and marked off who voted for each.  It really made the final processing easier.

I'd love to see a simple "export" function so we don't wind up doing it by hand.

On the whole, I think the process and the tool were fine, there were some hiccups that you have already identified.

I found the user interface (specifically the two pane format and the sizing requirement) to be a little troublesome. Eventually I just grabbed the json off the interface and populated a spreadsheet and that worked out much easier.

Why was that?

I wanted to tag each of the 93 talks with a bunch of tags that I found to be useful, things like the names of the projects covered, sales-pitch, customer-story, performance, … and so on, and later filter talks based on those tags.

So, if the next iteration of the tool had a way in which each chair could tag talks using an arbitrary (private) set of tags, that would be nifty.

+1 nice tool.

Would be great to have a sort function e.g. by “community vote”.

Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this tool (and all the
other OpenStack bits you're always improving.)  This was my second
time around and I thought the tool worked great - looking forward to
seeing even more improvements for Boston!

Thank you Jimmy!
