By Jeff Jameson, Sr. Principle Product Marketing Manager, Red Hat
On Tuesday the 25th, the OpenStack Foundation announced the session agenda for this Spring’s Summit in Atlanta. With several hundred sessions submitted to the foundation, I am pleased to announce that Red Hat has 21 sessions successfully accepted to be included in the weeks agenda.
Considering the nature of acceptance for each submitted session, it is quite inspiring to see so many Red Hat sessions were voted on – providing the confirmation that Red Hat is focusing efforts on the projects and discussions that are important to the community.
In addition to these 21 sessions throughout the week, Red Hat will also have a dedicated track for the full day on Monday May 12th from 11:15am to 6:10pm, in room B312. Here, you’ll be able to learn more about the specific efforts Red Hat is making around our commercially supported OpenStack products and joint partner solutions. We’ll be posting that full day agenda soon.
To learn more about Red Hat’s accepted sessions, have a look at the details below. We’re excited about this Spring’s Summit and look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!
