Open Stack

May I suggest that we continue this thread over on the community
mailing list where Claire posted the original proposal?

Cheers,
Florian

Instead of exposing the community to, in the case of the ATX summit, 1,300 talks for open voting, what if the track chairs did a first pass on sifting through the talks in their respective tracks to remove the wheat from the chaff, so to speak? Then, take that shortened list of talks to open voting. You could reduce the amount of time open for voting since there would be fewer sessions to review.
