<p dir="ltr">So I sent a message to the submitters of the AArch64 talk as below, but looks like there was no obvious way for them to respond, so they have contacted me directly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The only constructive response I can think of to followup with is to ask for some motivation as to why cloud app developers would want access to AArch64. But as it stands I don't think this talk fits in the AppDev track given it "covers OpenStack deployment and configuration", i.e., sounds infrastructure centric.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What is the policy with respect to talks that do not fit a track? Are they declined on those grounds, which is a shame as we miss out on potentially relevant and interesting but unanticipated content, or is there space reserved on the programme for any such outliers?</p>

Dear Yibo and Jack -
The OpenStack Barcelona track chairs are finding it difficult to match your presentation proposal with any of the current conference tracks. Could you please clarify which track you see your talk fitting in with and describe how? You can see brief description of all the track categories here: <a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/categories/" target="_blank">https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/categories/</a>.
Thanks!
