[Starlingx-discuss] Forum Topic Submission Period
Hello Everyone! The Forum Topic Submission session started September 12 and will run through September 26th. Now is the time to wrangle the topics you gathered during your Brainstorming Phase and start pushing forum topics through. Don't rely only on a PTL to make the agenda... step on up and place the items you consider important front and center. As you may have noticed on the Forum Wiki (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum), we're reusing the normal CFP tool this year. We did our best to remove Summit specific language, but if you notice something, just know that you are submitting to the Forum. URL is here: https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/call-for-presentations Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions! If you have questions or concerns about the process, please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers, Jimmy

Just a process question. I submitted a presentation for the normal marketing blitz part of the summit which wasn't accepted (I'm still dealing with this emotionally, btw...) but when I look at the CFP link for Forum topics, my thing shows up there as "Received" so does that mean my non-Forum-at-all submission is now automatically a candidate for the Forum because that would not be my intended audience (only suits and big wigs please). -- Thanks, Matt

Good question. the track you submit to and, in the case of the Forum, we separate this track out from the rest of the submission process. If you think there is still something funky, send me a note via speakersupport@openstack.org or jimmy@openstack.org and I'll work through it with you. Cheers, Jimmy

Same as I do :-) Unrelated point, for the first time in all the Summits I know, I wasn't able to know the track chairs for a specific track. Ideally, I'd love to reach them in order to know what they disliked in my proposal.

I have another question, do you know why we can't propose a Forum session with multiple speakers ? Is this a bug or an expected behaviour ? In general, there is only one moderator for a Forum session, but in the past, I clearly remember we had some sessions that were having multiple moderators (for various reasons). -Sylvain Cheers,

They were listed on an Etherpad that was listed under Presentation Selection Process in the CFP navigation. That has since been overwritten w/ Forum Selection Process, so let me try to dig that up. We publish the Track Chairs every year.

Correct. Forum sessions aren't meant to have speakers like a normal presentation. They are all set up parliamentary style w/ one or more moderators. However, the moderator can manage the room any way they'd like. If you want to promote the people that will be in the room, this can be added to the abstract.
