Voting begins for OpenStack Summit sessions in Paris


Voting is now open for sessions to be run at the OpenStack ‘Kilo’ Summit in Paris in November. There have been hundreds of talk submissions, evidence if ever it were needed that the OpenStack ecosystem continues to grow apace. Canonical has hundreds of people working on OpenStack and our ecosystem of partners engaged with us both at customers and the OpenStack Interoperability Lab is many times that. No surprise then that we have quite a few submissions in ourselves. Details are below – if you think the topic interesting then please give it a vote (membership of the OpenStack Foundation website is required) and with a bit of luck it will make the final agenda in Paris.
