<p class="MsoNormal">The first seems to be more along the lines of HPC in my mind. The second seems like it might fit in the Private & Hybrid Cloud category, however that category also has many items at present... so it might also make sense to leave it in
Telecom & NFV even though I think the intersection between the proposed topic and the track is not the best alignment.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree regarding the track names. After reading through the abstracts in Private & Hybrid, I can't but help wonder if how many could fit into a Cloud Security or Incident Response category, which could actually lead to some interesting
community overlaps if fostered over time.<o:p></o:p></p>
