I realize I'm chiming in late here but something has been bothering me about this for a while: it is very strange that most of the submissions for this track were for a technology that was announced

This is interesting data. I found the track selection a bit confusing actually. I submitted a session about my experience as an end-user involved in the CloudEvents WG trying to help drive out some of

DevOps Enterprise Summit asks about a lot of transformation related details. We may want to do that as well since many of the end-users are likely using these tools to help move their legacy

As an end-user, I submitted several this year that weren’t accepted, and I don’t have a team of people to make it sound great, and I don’t speak at a lot of conferences in order to know exactly

Thanks, Mike. We were looking for a model we could emulate and DevopsDays looks like a promising one. CNCF staff are investigating this. -- Dan Kohn <dan@...> Executive Director, Cloud Native

Hi, I wonder if we might want to look at a similar setup as devopsdays? It is organized by local groups, and the rules are quite simple and fair. It must be organized by a committee from various

Hello, Sounds like a lot of value packed within a single day! By any chance, how can we plan for something similar to be held in Tokyo? There are container focused events held here, and some are

We had a Kubernetes day in Amsterdam last June which was a good success; we had 200 attendees for a full day, single track event hosted in a great location (thanks to the ones in cc to make it

Also an option, of course. By the way, we do have a local event - Cloud Native London, it took place last month and also in 2017 (IIRC). It's a great event, but it's not exactly affordable.

One more option to would be to partner with existing community events and add k8s or CloudNative tracks. We've found this to be a win/win at SCALE and other local events I'm involved in.

I second Matt's and Alexis' point on having more of local mini-conferences/camps. Even for those in the US or Europe, there isn't always a chance to travel to a major city, and hotel prices as well

I really like the checkbox (or slider) suggestion - I think it could be very helpful all around. I've helped review some submissions, and I try to apply consistent criteria. I based my criteria on

Firstly I am more than happy with the conference tracks, I always learn a huge amount and take away a lot more for study. A few thoughts from discussing this thread with organisers of other major

+1000 As much as I like to contribute via reviewing, I certainly don’t envy the chairs and no matter how rude certain people on this thread are or think it’s OK to use whatever tone they feel

As an organiser of various conferences (and as someone who didn't get a talk accepted at KubeCon this year), can I just point out that Liz and Janet have done a fantastic job in orchestrating

Liz, I appreciate you’re taking time here with more details. I want to note a difference between malicious intent and people drawing conclusions of it. Those are different people in different

Nick, In my experience, airtime at a major conference is a huge factor in developer growth for a project. Of the several projects I’ve started personally (heat, magnum, kolla), we saw 3x core
