Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project. To see the full OpenStack Summit schedule, including presentations, panels and workshops, go to http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.
"Design Summits" are a key moment in OpenStack development cycles where our development community gathers to brainstorm the next steps for our project. It always happened more or less at the same time as the traditional "Conference", without causing too much conflict, with the key technical contributors mostly ignoring the conference to concentrate on the 4-day design summit.
However, with the explosive growth of OpenStack and the success of the conference, it is a problem to prevent our best technical resources from presenting and attending the conference. We need to discuss ways to organize those events in the future which would enable more participation from our technical contributors.
We'll also discuss the design summit format, how we select sessions and schedule them, as well as needed evolutions on the ODSREG application (summit.openstack.org).
