If you feel it's specifically a vendor pitch, feel free to send an email
to <a class="m_-2474528791911412651moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:speakersupport@openstack.org" target="_blank">speakersupport@openstack.org</a> and we can review. The Foundation does
not support single vendor pitches, and of course, the content cannot be
about closed source products.<br>

Cheers!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a 1st time track chair so pardon my ignorance
if this question seems obvious. In my initial review for the storage
track I see several presentations that are vendor specific and possibly
closed source. Should that have any bearing
on our evaluations?<u></u><u></u></p>
