I definitely understand the timeline is tight. One of the reasons that
we publish the schedule so early is to enable community members to plan
their schedule early, especially as
there is more overlap with the main Summit Schedule in Denver.
Additionally, travel approval is often predicated upon someone showing
they're leading/moderating a session. <br>
<br>
Before publishing the schedule, we print a draft Forum schedule for
community feedback and start promotion of the schedule, which we have to
put up on the OpenStack website and apps at 5 weeks out. Extending the
date beyond the 10th won't give the Forum Selection Committee enough
time to complete those tasks. <br>
<br>
I think if the Ops team can come up with some high level discussion
topics, we'll be happy to put some holds in the Forum schedule for
Ops-specific content. diablo_rojo has also offered to attend some of
the Ops sessions remotely as well, if that would help you all shape some
things into actual sessions. <br>
<br>
I wish I could offer a further extension, but extending it another week
would push too far into the process. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jimmy<br>

Hi Erik,<br>
<br>
We are able to extend the deadline to 11:59PM Pacific, March 10th. That
should give the weekend to get any additional stragglers in and still
allow the Forum Programming Committee enough time to manage the rest of
the approval and publishing process in time for people's travel needs,
etc...<br>
<br>
For the Ops Meetup specifically, I'd suggest going a bit broader with
the proposals and offering to fill in the blanks later. For example, if
something comes up and everyone agrees it should go to the Forum, just
submit before the end of the Ops session. Kendall or myself would be
happy to help you add details a bit later in the process, should
clarification be necessary. We typically have enough spots for the
majority of proposed Forum sessions. That's not a guarantee, but food
for thought.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jimmy<br>

Hi Everyone -<br>
<br>
A quick reminder that we are accepting Forum [1] submissions for the
2019 Open
Infrastructure Summit in Denver [2]. Please submit your ideas through
the Summit CFP tool [3] through March 8th. Don't forget to put your
brainstorming etherpad up on the Denver Forum page [4].
<div><br></div>
<div>This
is not a classic conference track with speakers and presentations. OSF
community members (participants in development teams, operators, working
groups, SIGs, and other interested individuals) discuss the topics they
want to cover and get alignment on and we welcome your participation.
The Forum is your opportunity to help shape the development of future
project releases. More information about the Forum [1].<br>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to <a
href="mailto:speakersupport@openstack.org" moz-do-not-send="true">speakersupport@openstack.org</a>.<br>

Cheers,<br>
Jimmy<br>
