Voting for OpenStack Atlanta Summit Speaking Proposals is Open !

The OpenStack Summit for Spring 2014 is scheduled to take place in Atlanta from May 12-16. The general session speaking proposals for the Summit are submitted against the various Summit tracks and the proposed sessions go through a community voting process. While the chairs for each track determine the final list of presentation topics, the voting process is a good way to involve the community to shape the agenda for the Summit. You must be a member of the OpenStack Foundation to vote (join here, if you are not a member). You can start voting here on the various submissions. Voting closes at midnight central time on Monday, March 3.

Many Cisco lead sessions and sessions in collaboration with our partners from other companies have been submitted. The list below captures the details of our submitted talks with hyperlinks to the abstract information. If you find any of the proposals interesting, we urge you to vote for them. Cisco is one of the Premier Sponsors for the OpenStack Summit and we look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.
