Open Stack

Yes, it’s completely appropriate to communicate with submitters to ask questions, provide suggestions or ask them to make tweak their proposal / approach. The goal is to put together the best possible content. 

You should also feel empowered to recruit entirely new speakers, although I would caution that policy is not intended to just be a back door for people you know who missed the deadline. We are entrusting track chairs to make the best judgment calls.

Thanks,

Lauren

Or are your comments directed at filling overall gaps in the track (for which entirely new sessions would be appropriate).

I think that’s going to be especially important for tracks like big data or cloud applications where we’re still a bit early and working to build out case studies and more content.
