Greetings!

The speakers for the OpenStack Summit Berlin will be announced
August 14, at 4:00 AM UTC. Ahead of that, we want to take this
opportunity to thank our Programming Committee!  They have once
again taken time out of their busy schedules to help create
another round of outstanding content for the OpenStack Summit.

The OpenStack Foundation relies on the community-nominated
Programming Committee, along with your Community Votes to select
the content of the summit.  If you're curious about this process,
you can read more about it here


where we have also listed the Programming Committee members.


Hi, I particularly want to know the process of selecting Programming 
Committee of each track. You mentioned that the Programming Committee 
is "community-nominated" but there is no information about how to 
select among the list of "community-nominated" candidates. If there 
are multiple candidates self-nominating themselves, how to ensure the 
process of selecting Programming Committee members is fair and 
transparent?
We announce public track chair nominations, but it's true that we 
haven't published the nominees in the past.  Moving forward, we'll 
publish those to the MLs.


We do publish the selected track chairs as we did this year for Berlin 
.  
These are selected from a pool of volunteers (self-nominated or 
otherwise) and, for the most part, we do not have a large pool of people 
to choose from.  Programming Committee work can be a bit arduous and 
that's why we're so thankful for the hard work our volunteers put in 
each Summit.  We literally couldn't do it without them.


If you feel you could help with the process, I encourage you to 
volunteer for the Denver 2019 Summit Programming Committee: 
https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstackdenver2019_programmingcommitteenom 



I asked that because I have an impression that the selection of 
Programming Committee members has a significant impact on the final 
selected content of the summit, and the final selected content has 
impacts on the visibility of each OpenStack official project. It also 
appears that if a specific project is not well represented on its 
relevant track of the Programming Committee, none of the 
project-related talks was selected. I would wonder if the selection 
process is fair and give visibility of each official proj
Every project at the summit has the opportunity to submit both a Project 
Update and a Project Onboarding session, outside of the CFP. If an 
community project wants that space, it's guaranteed. In addition to the 
CFP, the Forum presents an additional opportunity for projects to speak 
to the community.


On top of that, we encourage diversity in selection of all presentations 
for the CFP.  Including but not limited to diversity in corporate, 
gender, project, etc... Beyond that, our track chairs have the 
discretion to select the best content from a field of high quality 
submissions.


Finally, if you feel a project is underrepresented in the community, we 
strongly encourage you to reach out to local user groups and to present 
your content there: 
https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/user_group_presentation_form  
This is both a great for community outreach and an opportunity to help 
gain support for a project, SIG, etc...


Cheers,
Jimmy
