Hi Lorin,

Thanks for the followup.  I'm perfectly happy to go the Openstack-specific route, but I haven't received much feedback from the Openstack community.  It would be helpful if we could get some sense of community interest (and likelihood of attending) to accompany our submission.  What do others think?  Would others be interested in attending?

For those of you who are likely to attend, is anyone else interested?  It's not a huge amount of time invested on my end to put together the proposal, but I'd like to gauge the community interest before doing so.  I would likely broaden things a bit from being exclusively Openstack and instead turn it into more of an HPC in the Cloud session so that we could, perhaps, take some input from other HPC cloud projects.   The submissions are due July 31, so we've got a little bit of time, but not too much.  Anyone else interested?

I would suggest making it OpenStack-specific, since there was  an "HPC in the Cloud" BoF last year (http://sc11.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=bof140), and they'll probably re-apply this year as well. I think we can get critical mass for an OpenStack BoF.
