<br>
To answer Gary's question... We actually had a pretty even distribution
of submissions this go round. Obviously Private Cloud and Public Cloud
have a higher number of submissions, but based on what we've seen, it
feels like we're getting closer to a good set of tracks.<br>
<br>
That said, this is exactly the type of feedback we're looking for. So
please let us know if you feel we could be adding or subtracting tracks
as the process goes on.<br>
