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? It would be awesome if we could quickly get something in place before we all leave Vancouver so we can gather this information and it could serve as a valuable form of input for future selection committees. Thanks, -amrith P.S. I gave a talk and if there’s no formal mechanism for feedback I welcome email on the subject. The talk was about Trove and replication with MySQL on Monday evening. __ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev Hi Amrith, I think this is a great point, there's always informal conversations and mixed reviews on talks, but it would be really great if we could formalize this, and use it to aid in the process of choosing talks for the next summit. Of course the key is participation and some why of trying to make sure we actually get info submitted by people that attended the talk. Anyway, I think it's a great idea and certainly worth looking at possibly doing for the summit in Tokyo.

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. -- Best Regards, Maish Saidel-Keesing __ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
