Social Event

Unconference Voting

Unconference Process:
Proposers:
Hang your card on the board in Room 610
You are encouraged to advertise your session to garner support.
These sessions are working sessions, they are NOT 1 hour venting sessions, by proposing a talk you are committing to gathering work items and proposals, and coming up with actionable items that people can work on for the next development cycle.

Attendees:
You are encouraged to check the board for sessions that interest you and VOTE on them by putting a dot (and only one dot!) on the session that you would be interested in participating in.

Please respect the process by only voting for sessions you plan on attending and refraining from gaming the system.
Prior to lunch during the Summit we will pick and announce the top 4 talks by number of votes and then schedule them for the afternoon.
In case of a tie or unclear winner we will schedule the sessions in the contributor lounge.
