The Cinder Community would like to get in on some Forum action in Shanghai, but to do that we need to have some topics to propose. You don't have to actively be working on Cinder to propose a topic, and you don't have to be present to win. The point of the Forum sessions is to get feedback from operators and users about the current state of the software, get some ideas about what should be in the next release, and have some strategic discussion about The Future. So whether you can attend or not, if you have some ideas you'd like us to discuss, feel free to propose a topic: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cinder-shanghai-forum-proposals The deadline for proposals to the Foundation is 20 September, so if you could get your idea down on the etherpad before the Cinder weekly meeting on Wednesday 18 September 16:00 UTC, that will give the Cinder team time to look them over. thanks! brian
