Open Stack

I’d agree with Florian’s comment below! If we accept this talk for submission after the deadline, shouldn’t we also accept other talks that might have been submitted too late? Who decides what talk then should be accepted for late submission and which one shouldn’t? 

Having said that though it sounds like a very interesting topic to have in one of the next summits. Wondering, I believe the superuser nomination is still open till March 11th. Maybe that could be an option for the summit in Austin before submitting a “proper” talk to the next Summit in Barcelona? 

Thanks,
Sebastian
