I am personally in favor of many Ceph sessions. As you suggested
below, you should pitch your sessions when the forum session process
starts. I'm sure you'll receive plenty of traffic. If you're
interested in coming to Mexico City August 9 - 10, or would like us to
discuss some Ceph-related topics as a group for you to follow up on
later, you could also pitch a session or two for the Ops Mid-Cycle
meetup here:

Cheers,
Erik
