The OpenStack Conference\/Design Summit planning is well underway with the Program Committee and I wanted to share our latest high level agenda with the community for feedback. The plan is to update this proposal over the next two weeks before starting a call for topics and speakers. Please send your comments directly to me so I can pass them along to the Program Committee.<\/p>\n
Also, the number of sessions and times are subject to change; however, it is easier to view the agenda with sample sessions and times.<\/p>\n
Here is the current proposal:<\/p>\n
