See there have been a bunch of changes / suggestions on the document, which looks good but it is getting lengthy IMO. Abstracts should be on the shorter side and focus on what the audience will be gaining / taking away from the presentation / project.
Just attaching a typical proposal template which I've used for conferences in the past: Title: Opening up Cloud Computing with Aeolus Presenter: Mo Morsi <[email protected]> <315.863.7088> Abstract: Recent years have seen an influx of Cloud Computing services offered by a plethora of vendors with many different APIs and interfaces. The diversity of these products offer many solutions at various levels of the stack, but increases the risk of proprietary cloud adoption due to vendor lock-in and downtime. With Aeolus we aim to provide a Free and Open Source cloud computing framework through which instances can be launched against any cloud provider using the same API and toolset. The infrastructure permits the description of software services and hardware components in such a way that any set of software packages can be deployed to any cloud provider matching specified criteria. For this <conf-name> presentation, I propose discussing how we represent many different cloud providers, some proprietary and others open, in a vendor-agnostic way, and the methodology through which software and hardware is described, instances are scheduled, and the entire framework is managed. Feel free to use as is, take pieces, or just continue in your own direction. Hope it helps, -Mo On 07/30/2012 06:02 PM, Francesco Vollero wrote: > Hi Justin, > > Yes, this seems to be a very important conference and Hugh when discussed on > irc few days ago said: "we WANT to be there". > So, I guess we really want to be there :) > > You can take care of the text to give them?
