The Open vSwitch project is participating in Open Source Days at OpenStack Summit Boston. During the summit, Open vSwitch will have dedicated use of a room for a full day. We are seeking participation for talks and tutorials for this event. OpenStack Summit Boston will be held May 8 to 11. We do not yet know which day the Open Source Days event will be held. Talks ----- We are seeking talks on topics including the following: * Deploying and using OVN. * End-user or service provider experiences with OVN or Open vSwitch. * Testing and scaling OVN. * Troubleshooting and debugging Open vSwitch or OVN installations. * Using Open vSwitch or OVN with OpenStack. * Container integration with Open vSwitch or OVN, including usage with container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes and Mesos. * Using OVN to realize NFV and service chaining. * Integrating OVN with Linux distributions, with Windows, or other operating systems. * Open vSwitch relationship with other open source projects. * Increasing the size and diversity of the Open vSwitch user and developer base. * Demos. * Other topics likely to be of interest to attendees. We expect most talks to last 20 minutes, with added time for questions. We are also open to requests for longer or shorter time blocks. To propose a talk, submit the title, abstract, and speakers' names and email addrsses to ovs...@openvswitch.org by Feb. 22. Please put "TALK:" at the beginning of the subject line. We will notify speakers of acceptance by Feb. 24. Speakers must add their own bios and headshots at https://www.openstack.org/profile/speaker, using their own unique email addresses. We can provide free OpenStack registration to up to 10 speakers. Speakers should plan to attend OpenStack Summit Boston in person. Travel and accommodations are the responsibility of the participants. We will record audio for talks and make it available online along with slides. Tutorial -------- We are organizing a hands-on OVN tutorial as part of the Open Source Days event. Before the event, we could use the help of a few people to design and write the tutorial. During the event, we also need help to run the tutorial and to assist attendees. To volunteer for any of these roles, please let us know about it at ovscon@openvswitch. We may be able to provide free OpenStack registration to on-site volunteers, out of our quota of 10 free registrations. Travel and accommodations are the responsibility of the volunteers. Volunteers must add their own bios and headshots at https://www.openstack.org/profile/speaker, using their own unique email addresses.
