OSF community members (participants in development teams, operators, working groups, SIGs, and other interested individuals) discuss the topics they want to cover and get alignment on and we welcome your participation.  The Forum is your opportunity to help shape the development of future project releases.

We aim to ensure the broadest coverage of topics that will allow for multiple parts of the community getting together to discuss key areas within our community/projects.

Look to https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum for an idea of how to structure fishbowls and discussions for your project. The idea is to ensure the broadest coverage of topics, while allowing for the project community to discuss critical areas of concern.  To make sure we are presenting the best topics for discussion, we have asked representatives of each of your projects to help us out in the Forum selection process.

> eg Making OpenStack One Platform for containers/VMs/Bare Metal (Strategic session) the entire community congregates to share opinions on how to make OpenStack achieve its integration engine goal
>
> Cross-project sessions, in a similar vein to what has happened at past forums, but with increased emphasis on issues that are of relevant to all areas of the community
>
> eg Rolling Upgrades at Scale (Cross-Project session) – the Large Deployments Team collaborates with Nova, Cinder and Keystone to tackle issues that come up with rolling upgrades when there’s a large number of machines.
>
> Project-specific sessions, where community members most interested in a specific project can discuss their experience with the project over the last release and provide feedback, collaborate on priorities, and present or generate 'blue sky' ideas for the next release
>
> eg Neutron Pain Points (Project-Specific session) – Co-organized by neutron developers and users. Neutron developers bring some specific questions about implementation and usage. Neutron users bring feedback from the latest release. All community members interested in Neutron discuss ideas about the future.

> Think about what kind of session ideas might end up as: Project-specific, cross-project or strategic/whole-of-community discussions. There'll be more slots for the latter two, so do try and think outside the box!
