Hi Erik,

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...

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.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Would it be possible to push the deadline back a couple weeks? I expect there to be a few session proposals that will come out of the Ops Meetup which ends the day before the deadline. It would be helpful to have a little time to organize and submit things afterwards.

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Everyone -

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].  

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].

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to speakersupport@openstack.org.

Cheers,
Jimmy
