Each year, what talks are presented at the OpenStack summit depend on votes depends on end-user interest from people like you.
The voting ends in a few days on MONDAY March 3rd at midnight, so please take a look at the talks below and if they look interesting, vote for them. Once again, we expect to have a very strong showing of VMware at the OpenStack summit. Some talks are by VMware customers who are using technologies like NSX and vSphere in their deployments. Other presentations are by VMware staff, either about VMware technologies in OpenStack, or about ways that VMware is helping the OpenStack community.
In both cases, we need your help making sure these sessions are selected, so please vote today!
