<div>One thought from my end…</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Knowing how the OpenStack Foundation values diversity, I was surprised to see that the Community Building track was comprised of 4 men as track chairs. It seemed a bit ironic to have the 4 of us debating the various panels on diversity that were submitted
for consideration to the CB track.</div>

<div>Diversity starts at home. :)</div>

Would be great if i can see a summary of affiliated companies of the proposals that I/we have selected at the Selection/Team list.
<div>e.g. </div>
<div>Track A: A total of 20 companies are selected</div>
<div>Company X: 6 sessions are selected in Track A</div>

Thanks again for your hard (and quick!) work on the OpenStack Barcelona Summit Track selections. You all did an amazing job and we're really grateful to each of you.<br>

Another suggestion for the Boston CFP process might be to consider separate user and developer sub-tracks. For example.

We at Dev Tools track found out that there are a lot of drafts related to the CI/CD and Testing processes. Seems reasonable to add such a track (Deployment and Testing) as an option for the next summit. What do you think?<br>
