Hi everyone,

Today, we opened the Call for Presentations 
<https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/>for 
the Vancouver Summit <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/>, 
which will take place May 21-24. The deadline to submit your proposal is 
February 8th.

What’s New?
We’re focused on open infrastructure integration. The Summit has evolved 
over the years to cover more than just OpenStack, but we’re making an 
even bigger effort to attract speakers across the open infrastructure 
ecosystem. In addition to OpenStack-related sessions, we’ll be featuring 
the newest project at the Foundation -- Kata Containers -- as well as 
recruiting many others from projects like Ansible, Ceph, Kubernetes, 
ONAP and many more.

We’ve also organized Tracks around specific problem domains. We 
encourage you to submit proposals covering OpenStack and the “open 
infrastructure” tools you’re using, as well as the integration work 
needed to address these problem domains. We also encourage you to invite 
peers from other open source communities to come speak and collaborate.

The Tracks are:

   *
     CI/CD
   *
     Container Infrastructure
   *
     Edge Computing
   *
     HPC / GPU / AI
   *
     Open Source Community
   *
     Private & Hybrid Cloud
   *
     Public Cloud
   *
     Telecom & NFV


Where previously we had Track Chairs, we now have Programming Committees 
<https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/selection-process>for 
each Track, made up of both Members and a Chair (or co-chairs). We’re 
also recruiting members and chairs from many different open source 
communities working in open infrastructure, in addition to the many 
familiar faces in the OpenStack community who will lead the effort. If 
you’re interested in nominating yourself or someone else to be a member 
of the Summit Programming Committee for a specific Track, please fill 
out the nomination form 
<https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstackvancouver2018_programmingcommitteenom>. 
Nominations will close on January 26, 2018.

Again, the deadline to submit proposals 
<https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/>is 
February 8, 2018. Please note topic submissions for the OpenStack Forum 
(planning/working sessions with OpenStack devs and operators) will open 
at a later date.

We can’t wait to see you in Vancouver! We’re working hard to make it the 
best Summit yet, and look forward to bringing together different open 
infrastructure communities to solve these hard problems together!

Want to provide feedback on this process? Please focus discussion on the 
openstack-community mailing list, or contact me or the OpenStack 
Foundation Summit Team directly at summit at openstack.org 
<mailto:summit at openstack.org>.

Thank you,
Lauren
