I attended a talk by Mark Baker today (http://sched.co/2qbJ) entitled "The
OpenStack Summit Talk Selection Process is Broken" and I think it was an
informative session.

The statistics presented indicated that just under a third of the talks
submitted got accepted at this summit and that is a very healthy ratio and
that's a great thing.

One thing that was brought up at the talk was that there was no formal
feedback mechanism about talks and keynotes at Summit. Is there any way in
which we can get a feedback mechanism for the talks and sessions at this
summit up and running? It would be a valuable piece of information if we
could get it.

Any thoughts on how this can be done? There were 296 sessions; we obviously
know the names of the sessions and the speakers. Does our scheduling
mechanism have a 'ratings module' that can be turned on? Is there some other
quick and dirty mechanism we can use?
For Red Hat Summit we have something like this built into the official app and 
speakers are encouraged to remind people to use it to submit feedback at the 
end. Users have the choice of just leaving a rating in a couple of categories 
or also entering written comments. I have found the feedback quite useful in 
the past for helping me to better target the presentations I do at that 
particular event and think it would be great if there was something like this 
for OpenStack summit.

Thanks,

Steve

I would highly recommend that we start accepting the input from the participants with regards to their experience - during the sessions, Keynote speakers, food, venue everything.

This feedback can be used by the foundation to evaluate what was amazing, what was wrong, and in addition also help the track leads during the session selection process.
