Hello AI/ML/HPC Track Chairs,
Hope we are all doing great! It seems time is running out fast and we need to speed up our individual tasks.  
Thus far, Alexander and I have completed our tasks, waiting for you.


Best regards,
Armstrong

We'll consider the presentations at the top of the list to be the most important to include in the final Summit agenda.

> Each Track has a predetermined amount of sessions and once this quantity has been fulfilled, these sessions will be included in the final agenda. Each Track will also have a set number of alternates. If a presentation is selected as an alternate, they will have the opportunity to present their session, but we want to consider quality over having an alternate for the sake of filling time. So, we’ll offer them the opportunity to record their talk later and we’ll post it on our YouTube channel. However, if a full breakout session speaker cannot present, alternates will be selected based on the order in the Team List within the Track Chair tool. This is in an effort to ensure that alternate presentations are recorded and speakers are available in the event they are needed.

> Please note that everyone on your team shares the Team Selections column. Any changes that you make will override the selections/order choices that your colleagues may have made in this column. Therefore, before making your final session selections inside the Team Selections tab––we recommend that you and your fellow Programming Committee members schedule time together via Zoom, Google Hangout, IRC, or your platform of choice to discuss the final team selections. Once you have finalized your selections as a team, add them into the Team Selections tab. The Team Selections tab must be completed no later than Friday, August 28 at 11:59pm PT (August 29 at 6:59 UTC).

> COMBINING SESSIONS OR CREATING NEW PANELS
> You may want to combine sessions into panels or other formats, especially if there are multiple submissions about the same topic. However we request that you try to limit the number of new panels to no more than 40% of the selected sessions in your Track. If you are creating a new panel, please try to include a diverse set of speakers for the presentation. In order to combine talks or create new panels please follow these instructions <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPQKu9AXwOU> and email the requested information to speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>.

> COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR FELLOW PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
> You have the ability to contact your fellow Programming Committee members directly via their contact information within the tool <https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/directory> (by clicking on their name to send an email), but we also encourage you to make use of this mailing list to initiate or continue the discussion with all programming committees.
> 
> Reminder––please make all final selections in the tool no later than Friday, August 28 at 11:59pm PT (August 29 at 6:59 UTC).  Should you have any queries or issues along the way, please notify us at speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>.

> New for virtual Summit: 
> Please note the number below is the maximum number of presentations you can select for your Track. We want to prioritize quality over quantity, so you are not required to fill all of those slots. On the other hand, if your Track has more qualified talks than the maximum amount allowed, you can designate some sessions as alternates and they will still have the opportunity to record a session.
> To fit the new virtual format, sessions will be pre-recorded, and speakers should be prepared to be present on the event platform during their presentation for potential live chat Q&A.
> 
> Also, if you’re working outside the tool, the counts per track are the following. These counts are flexible, so if there are too many amazing presentations, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate:
> 
> Max Slots	Alternates
> 5G, NFV & Edge	15	3
> AI, Machine Learning, HPC	8	2
