Open Stack

This is just my personal opinion and I have no strong oppose on it.
In my opinion, “user experience” is not a track itself but potentially cover many aspect in OpenStack, which will fall under different tracks depending on the “context”.

If the talk is related to user experience from App Developer perspective, that might fit under “Cloud App Development”.
For example, the Marcela’s cloud benchmarking was presented in this track at Austin.
If the talk is from Operator perspective, maybe “Operations” will be a good one.
If the talk is about new tools for user experience, that would probably fit under “Related OSS Projects” or “Products & Services” track.

My 2 cents.. :-)

Hi Folks,

I was hoping you could help me understand how the presentation tracks are identified for each summit.

https://www.openstack.org/summit/austin-2016/categories/track-list

I’m sure you know where I’m going with this…would like to propose that we include a “user experience” track or something more catchy like “Focus on customers" or “What have you done for me lately.”

The goal is to help generate a deeper discussion on how we serve our customers within the community.  Note that this isn’t intended to be a way to add more sessions from the OpenStack UX project.  In fact, I’m far more interested in hearing how the other projects are focusing on their customers.

For example, the Horizon project has done an interesting concepts that integrates searchlight more deeply into the user portal.  In addition, the Docs team will be looking at how information architecture can be changed to better inform our users.  Also, OpenStackClient has also done a few usability studies with both operators and end users that would be interesting for the community.

Lemme know what you think..

Piet
