I'm driving the validation improvements session, but I don't care about 
the conflicting TripleO session "Reducing the CI pain" so that's OK.

I think this is a no-go because it would put the hot-parser session on 
at the same time as the Tacker/heat-translator joint session that will 
necessarily have a bunch of the same people in it.

Umm, I thought that was the idea.

I need to be at both of those Heat ones anyway, so this doesn't really 
help me. I'd rather have the DLM session in this slot instead. (The only 
sessions I can really skip are the Release Model, Functional Tests and 
DLM.) That would give us:

           Heat                        TripleO

  Wed 3:30 Release Model
  Wed 4:30 HOT Parser
  Wed 5:20 Functional Tests

  Thu 1:30 DLM                         Upgrades
  Thu 2:20 Convergence switchover      Containers
  Thu 3:10 Convergence cleanup         Composable Roles
  Thu 4:10 Performance                 API
  Thu 5:00 Validation                  CI

I think that way Steve and I could probably both cover upgrades, and he 
could cover the rest.

I'd like to get to the composable roles and containers sessions too, but 
we'd have to rejig basically every Heat session and I think it's too 
late to be doing that.

cheers,
Zane.
