Hello 
Everyone!
We
 are now accepting Forum [1] submissions for the 2019 Open 
Infrastructure Summit in Shanghai [2].  Please submit your ideas through
 
the Summit CFP tool [3] through September20th. 
 Don't forget to put your brainstorming 
etherpad up on the Shanghai Forum page [4].  
This
 is not a classic conference track with speakers and presentations. 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. More information about the Forum [1].  Keep in mind, 
Forum submissions are for discussions, not presentations.  
The
 timeline for submissions is as follows:
Sep 20th
 | Deadline for proposing Forum topics. Scheduling committee meeting to 
make draft agenda.     
Sep 30th
 | Draft Forum schedule published. Crowd sourced session conflict 
detection. Forum promotion begins.     
Oct 7th
 | Scheduling committee final meeting     
Oct 14th
 | Forum schedule final     
Nov 4-6 | 
Forum Time!     
Cheers,
Jimmy
