A bit of explanation on the contents for the "Design Summit" track: The Design Summit track is for developers and contributors to the next release cycle of OpenStack (codenamed "Grizzly"). Each session is an open discussion on a given technical theme or specific feature to-be-developed in one of the OpenStack core projects. Compared to previous editions, we'll run parallel to rest of the OpenStack Summit and just be one of the "tracks" for the general event. We'll run over 4 days, but there will be no session scheduled during the "general session" of the OpenStack Summit (first hours in the morning on Tuesday/Wednesday). Finally, all sessions will be 40-min long, to align with the rest of the event. Within the Design Summit we also used to have classic presentations around Devops, ecosystem and related projects: those will now have their own tracks in the OpenStack Summit ("Operations Summit", "Related OSS Projects", "Ecosystem", "Security"...), so they are no longer a subpart of the "Design Summit" track. The "Design Summit" will be entirely focused on the Grizzly cycle of official OpenStack projects, and entirely made of open discussions. We'll also have some breakout rooms available for extra workgroups and incubated projects. The sessions within the design summit are now organized around "Topics". The topics for the Design Summit are the core projects, openstack-common, Documentation and a common "Process" track to cover the release cycle and infrastructure. Each topic content is coordinated by the corresponding team lead(s). Since most developers are focused on Folsom right now, we traditionally open our call for sessions a bit later (should be opened first week of September). Contributors will be invited to suggest a topic for design summit sessions. After the Folsom release, each topic lead will review the suggestions, merge some of them and come up with an agenda for his/her topic. You can already see the proposed topic layout on the "Design Summit topics" tab in the document linked in Lauren's email.
