Open Stack

Hi everyone,

It’s time for Part One of the Programming Committee process! Before you begin, please take the time to watch this tutorial video <https://www.screencast.com/t/6q9Jx5UXP88>.

You have between now and this Monday, July 23 at 11:59pm PT (Tuesday, July 24 at 6:59 UTC) to complete this part. See the timeline below for reference.

During this time we ask you to:
Review the submissions within your specific track and identify any that need to be moved into another track category by clicking the “Suggest Category Change” button. View the full list of tracks here <https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/summit-categories/>.
Flag any talks that are obvious test submissions and need to be removed (in addition to duplicates).  Note this by making a comment and sending an email to speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org> with a link to the presentation.
Include comments on any sessions that you want to flag for more discussion later during the selection process. *ONLY* track chairs will be able to view your comments. Speakers and submitters cannot see your comments.

Please watch this  tutorial video <https://www.screencast.com/t/6q9Jx5UXP88> to learn how to use the Track Chair tool.

After you’ve watched the video you may access the Track Chair tool: www.openstack.org/track-chairs/ <http://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/> 

Log in with your email address and the password that you've set for the OpenStack website. If you need to reset your password, you can do that here <https://www.openstack.org/Security/lostpassword>. If you have any login issues please contact speakersupport at openstack.org <mailto:speakersupport at openstack.org>.

As a reminder, the submission review process has two parts:
Part One: July 18 - 23
Reviewing/moving session submissions before voting opens (2-4 hours)

Part Two: July 27 - August 7
Final track sessions decisions (8 hours)

Contacting your fellow Programming Committee members:
The email addresses and Track names for all Programming Committee members are listed here: https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/directory <https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/directory>

Full Timeline
July 18 - 23: Programming Committees review submissions and potentially move sessions to other tracks if they are a better fit BEFORE community voting begins
July 24 - 26: Session voting open to the community
July 27 - August 7: Programming Committees receive and review proposals and discuss choices
August 7: Programming Committees submit final session selections via administrative tool
August 13: Foundation staff notifies all submitters whether or not their session was accepted into the final Summit agenda
August 13: Breakout session agenda published

As a reminder, please do not notify speakers that they have been accepted ahead of the public announcement.

We’ll be in touch the week of July 23 with another tutorial video and detailed steps on Part Two when you will use the track chair administrative tool to make your individual and team selections.

Cheers,
Ashlee & Jimmy
