Hello Track Chairs,


It's time for Part One of the track chair process.


You have between now and this Sunday, July 24th at 11:59pm PDT / July 
25th at 6:59am UTC to complete this part. See the timeline below for 
reference.


During this time we ask you to:


 1. Review the submissions within your specific track and identify any
    that need to be moved into another track category by clicking the
    "Suggest Category Change" button.

 2. Flag any talks that are obvious test submissions and need to be
    removed. Note this by making a comment and sending an email
    tospeakersupport at openstack.org
    <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>with a link to the presentation.

 3. Include comments on any sessions that you want to flag for more
    discussion later during the selection process. *ONLY* track chairs
    will be able to view your comments. Speakers and submitters cannot
    see your comments.


If you were unable to attend the webinar, here is thevideo recording 
<https://youtu.be/qJkTui7jmeM>for your reference. This includes a walk 
thru of how to use the Track Chair tool.

As a reminder, the submission review process has two parts:

Reviewing/moving session submissions before voting opens (2-4 hours)


Part Two: August 10-21st

Final track sessions decisions (8 hours)

Full Timeline

July 20-24: Track Chairs review submissions and potentially move 
sessions to other tracks if they are a better fit BEFORE community 
voting begins (we will be scheduling a recorded webinar for July 18th on 
how to use the tool)

July 26-August 8: Session voting open to the community

August 10-21: Track Chairs receive and review proposals and discuss choices

August 21: Track Chairs submit final session selections via 
administrative tool

August 25: Foundation staff notifies all submitters whether or not their 
session was accepted into the final Summit agenda

August 25: Breakout session agenda published


We'll be in touch later next week with another tutorial video and 
detailed steps on Part Two when you will use the track chair 
administrative tool to make your individual and team selections.


Cheers,
The OpenStack Summit Team
