Hey everyone!

Track Chair nominations <https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/trackchairnominations2023> for the 2023 OpenInfra Summit in Vancouver (June 13-15, 2023) are now open!

Track Chairs for each Track will help build the Summit schedule, and are made up of individuals working in open infrastructure.

Responsibilities include:

Help the Summit team put together the best possible content based on your subject matter expertise
Promote the individual Tracks within your networks
Review the submissions and Community voting results in your particular Track
Determine if there are any major content gaps in your Track, and if so, potentially solicit additional speakers directly to submit
Ensure diversity of speakers and companies represented in your Track
Avoid vendor sales pitches, focusing more on real-world user stories and technical, in-the-trenches experiences
Identify which submissions would make good content for OpenInfra Live, the virtual show hosted by the OpenInfra Foundation that encourages live questions from a global audience

2023 Summit Tracks:

Full track descriptions are available here <https://openinfra.dev/summit/vancouver-2023/summit-tracks/>. If you’re interested in nominating yourself or someone else to be a member of the Summit Track Chairs for a specific Track, please fill out the nomination form <https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/trackchairnominations2023>. Nominations will close on October 28th, 2022.

Track Chairs selections will occur before we close the Call for Presentations (CFP) so that the Chairs can host office hours to consult on submissions, and help promote the event. CFP will be opening in November, registration <https://openinfrasummit2023.eventbrite.com/> and sponsorship <http://openinfra.dev/summit/vancouver-2023/summit-sponsor/> information are already available.
