On behalf of the OpenStack Conference Program Committee, I am pleased to
initiate the Call for Speakers for the Fall 2011 OpenStack Conference in
Boston, MA from October 5-7.  This gathering of OpenStack developers, users,
eco-system partners, open source enthusiasts, and cloud computing
technologists presents speakers with the opportunity to actively participate
in the shaping of the future of the OpenStack project. I look forward to
joining with the community in Boston for an amazing 3 days of OpenStack
goodness.

overall agenda of the conference. Please review these topics and submit your
