Jimmy,
Have the numbers had been loaded in for tracks?
Our track made our selection.
We choose 3 presentations, 8 lightning talks (2 sessions) and 1 alternate lightning talk.

Is the tool ready for us to accept these choice?
Thanks,
Arkady

Arkady,

We have not yet decided on final numbers for tracks or lightning talks. Once we have that, the numbers will appear in the Track Chair tool.  That's why I've suggested holding off on your selections until after voting :)

As far as alternates, yes, we provide options for 1-3 alternates, depending on tracks. That number will also be visible in your selection tool.

Cheers!
Jimmy

Jimmy,
Do we have any guidance on total slots per track?
Expect that track chairs have freedom on full presentations, lightning talks and panels as long as they fit into allotted time slots.
But want to check.

Finally,
Do we have one conditional/backup acceptance in case one of the accepted ones fell thru?

Thanks,
Arkady

Why is the email step required at all? If it's vendor-heavy or pushing a particular product, give thumbs down and move on.

James,

If you feel it's specifically a vendor pitch, feel free to send an email to speakersupport at openstack.org<mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org> and we can review. The Foundation does not support single vendor pitches, and of course, the content cannot be about closed source products.

Cheers!
Jimmy

Hi Everyone,

I’m a 1st time track chair so pardon my ignorance if this question seems obvious.  In my initial review for the storage track I see several presentations that are vendor specific and possibly closed source.  Should that have any bearing on our evaluations?

Thanks, James.
