Media Q&A: The Journalistic Perspective on the Present and Future of OpenStack

In this moderated panel, we'll hear about the present and future of OpenStack from the unique perspective of the media professionals who cover OpenStack and see the big picture every day. This is a great opportunity to engage with journalists who have made names for themselves asking tough questions and writing content about OpenStack that gets noticed.  We’ll talk about the evolving community, project governance, emergent technologies, and what they perceive to be the game-changers in 2016. We'll also learn what drives reporters crazy when they interview members of the OpenStack community!  Bring your questions and join us for what is always a popular and illuminating session at the OpenStack Summit.
