If you feel it's specifically a vendor pitch, feel free to send an email
to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:speakersupport@openstack.org">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>
<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?<o:p></o:p></p>
