I'm going to answer this directly on the public list as it's likely
relevant to others:<br>

</blockquote>
We don't guarantee any group a specific number of slots. The makeup of
the Forum Selection Committee is 2 OpenStack User Committee Member, 2
OpenStack Technical Committee Members, 2 OpenStack Foundation employees,
1 Starling X representative, 1 Airship representative, 1 Kata
representative, and 1 Zuul representative.<br>
<br>
The goal of the committee is to look for forum topics that can help
promote good conversation and cross-collaboration. The topics should be
high level enough that they would be of interest to users and operators,
as well as developers. <br>
<br>
When you're encouraging projects/communities to submit to the Forum, the
above is something to keep in mind. Proposing joint sessions is a
great way to get people in the room and a great way to have your topic
selected.<br>
<br>
Now... all that said, in Vancouver we had enough space to take almost
every topic submitted. We try REALLY hard to include as much as we
can. We'll have to see how many submissions we get this time, but we
do have a fair amount of slots available.<br>

That's correct. An abstract and a couple of other minor things are
necessary in order for us to review/evaluate the topic.<br>

This is one of the unfortunate side effects of using the CFP tool for
Forum topics. We'll have a fix in for this, but it probably won't be
until next cycle. That said, this is just the "submitter" view. When
it comes time for the Forum Selection Committee to make these decisions,
they will only see items submitted to the Forum track.<br>
<br>
Let me know if I can answer anything further.<br>
