<p class="MsoNormal">Arkady,<br>
<br>
We have not yet decided on final numbers for tracks or lightning talks. Once we have that, the numbers will appear in the Track Chair tool. That's why I've suggested holding off on your selections until after voting :)<br>
<br>
As far as alternates, yes, we provide options for 1-3 alternates, depending on tracks. That number will also be visible in your selection tool.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

If you feel it's specifically a vendor pitch, feel free to send an email to <a 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>
