AUSTIN SESSION FEEDBACK During the OpenStack Summit in Austin we did not receive as many sessions ratings as we'd have liked via the mobile app. Here’s another chance to provide feedback to speakers. You'll find that the session list is based on your personal schedule. If you didn't attend one of the sessions listed, just skip it. We will also be improving the in-app feedback mechanism for future Summits. Please note that all feedback will be publicly viewable including your name.
