Editor's Notes
- How this panel came to be: Once upon a time, the Women of OpenStack got together to pick One Thing. Giving everyone the confidence to present at a Summit was that One Thing we wanted to work on so here we are! We want this presentation to cover not just the OpenStack summit but also speaking about OpenStack at multiple conferences. We want to spread the knowledge. If we throw around three letter acronyms, we should also define them. We know that many of the Women of OpenStack have only been to one summit, or are planning for Vancouver to be their first summit. We want to get a good jump start on that experience.
- Here are some notes about the summit itself. It helps to be very familiar with the format of a conference prior to creating a proposal. This talk is about the Summit itself, not the Design Summit.
- Proposals in this process are only for the Summit sessions, not the Design Summit. Those are chosen in a different manner. Stay tuned to the openstack-dev list for details. Track chairs have final say, but community gets to participate by voting on interesting topics. Tweet early and tweet often. Voters must be members of the OpenStack Foundation. It’s painfully obvious to track chairs if your company stuffs the ballot box so don’t do that. Track chairs can swap proposals if they think there are too many in one. *** Can we get some numbers to share about which tracks get a lot of submissions? Deadline is February 9th! Next, Anne Gentle will talk about some tips for proposals sessions.
- Audience grows all the time. I don’t want to intimidate though, this is a keynote photo. There are typically less than 100 people in the room. In Atlanta there were 700 CxOs who signed up in the last week prior to the Summit. There are basic patterns we see: Operations New to OpenStack IT professionals Operators App developers are fewer in number but super valuable Geography and locality makes a big difference for first time summits Newbies to OpenStack (don’t make knowledge assumptions) easily 50% or more Open source advocates Corporate sponsors
- Nearly a quarter of all attendees are developers, and they’ll be attending and voting on the proposals even if their time is split with the Design Summit. Plenty of C-suite attendees
- . For a general overview, O’Reilly has a great conference page with sample proposals at http://www.oreilly.com/conferences/sample_proposals.html Title evocative, not too cute Description sets out the problem, shows what attendees learn, tells why they’d care Lists or outlines preferred over rambling text Demonstrate your knowledge of topics Next, Diane Mueller who has been a track chair for OpenStack can talk through her tips for any conference proposals.
- CFP equals Call for Proposals or Call for Presentations.
