Thanks for the input everyone. I’ll update and submit the proposal tomorrow.

Hi Carol,

Here is my feedback on the abstract (incorporating suggestions from Hugh and Arkady as well):

Title: Let's talk Roadmaps - OpenStack Style
Level: Beginner
Abstract:
The "OpenStack Tent" is big and as an OpenStack operator, vendor, or contributor it can be a challenge to know what's going on in each ring... Help is on the way!  The OpenStack Product Work Group strives to work across our the community to draft, from conversations with PTLs and other contributors, a condensed, simplified set of roadmaps of the capabilities you can expect in the upcoming project releases.

In this session we'll present our findings across the different projects in an effort to give users a glimpse into OpenStack's upcoming
capabilities.  The roadmaps presented will span multiple releases and strive to unify the future direction of the individual projects on a per release basis.  This session had over 800 RSVPs at the last summit so please show up early!

Description:
The Product WG would like to use this session to share the feedback collected through conversations with PTL/core team members of OpenStack projects.  The intention is to share this data at the summit and then make it available via openstack.org<http://openstack.org> in the future.   The team will be very clear in messaging that the content reflects intentions rather than a commitment.

Thanks,
Shamail

Hi everyone,

I would suggest that we remove any references to explaining the Product WG (beyond an intro) and how to provide input through user stories, etc. from this abstract.  The roadmap session should focus on delivering the content received from the project teams versus explanation of the process, etc.  This was feedback that was received after our roadmap session last summit.   A lot of people attended the session expecting to see an overview of the direction projects teams would like to head with their projects and they felt that the session didn't some enough time on the core content itself.

We have another session that is being proposed (Jim H., Megan R., Rocky G., and myself as presenters) that will cover an overview of the group but also share with users how to get involved (by participating in working groups and an overview of the user story submission process).

The abstract for that session is:
Session Title: Contributing as an OpenStack User
Level: Beginner
Track: How to Contribue
Abstract:
Have you ever had a really interesting idea that you believe could benefit a significant number of OpenStack clouds but you are not a developer so can't contribute code?  Join us in this session to learn about the various ways non-developers can (and need to!) contribute to the OpenStack community.   This session not only applies to operators but to any person that has a stake in the future of OpenStack.

We will cover review and discuss groups that exist inside the OpenStack community that focus on specific market segments and how to get involved with them.  We will also introduce the concept of user stories and how to submit them to the newly formed Product Working Group.

What you will get out of this session:
• An overview of the User Committee and working groups/teams that exist today
• An understanding of the role that the Product WG plays, how to interact with it, and how its results are used in the community
• Learn how you can submit user stories using the Product WG Repo and Template
• Instructions/demo on how to submit a user story
• Understand the value of work group participation as an OpenStack user

Description:
This session is being proposed and led by the Product Working Group (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ProductTeam).  We will also try to recruit guest speakers such as User Committee members and/or Project Technical Leads.  The intention of this session is to increase awareness of the working groups that exist in the OpenStack community and motivate more people to participate in identifying/reducing key barriers to adoption for OpenStack across multiple markets.

Thanks,
Shamail

Suggest we strengthen last paragraph:

In this session a glimpse into upcoming capabilities of OpenStack stack as the whole across multiple releases that augment and unify individual project roadmaps. Let your voice be heard. Come and learn how your input shape the planning process used by the projects themselves, the OpenStack style.

Cheers,
rkady

Thanks for doing this! :)

Suggest the following tweaks;

------------

Help is on the way! The OpenStack Product Work Group strives to work across our community to draft, from conversations with PTLs and other contributors, a condensed, simplified set of roadmaps of the capabilities you can expect in the upcoming project releases.

In this session we'll present our findings across the different projects in an effort to give users a glimpse into OpenStack's upcoming capabilities. We'll also discuss how we hope to assist in the process of bringing the voice of your customers and all users into the planning process used by the projects themselves.

Essentially I'm seeking to shift the language slightly so it's clear to a casual reader that we are gathering requirements rather than setting them at this stage.

I'm sure it can be said better than what I've put above, but perhaps a starting point :)

Cheers,
Hugh
