</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">So topics need to be submitted with an abstract providing more details on context than just a topic title ?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">That's correct. An abstract and a couple of other minor things are necessary in order for us to review/evaluate the topic.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Should we mark forum specific submissions with ‘FORUM’ as a prefix to title or something ?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">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>
