I think, if you spend the time looking through this list you will be impressed with what you see from our team!Overall, the EMC team has submitted 25 speaking proposals. As you'd expect, there are a few that deal with our contributions to the OpenStack's core storage technologies, but we're also offering useful tutorials and insights into networking, operations, Platform-as-a-Service (Paas), containers, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and much more. There are even sessions that are perfect for OpenStack newcomers, as well as debunking persistent OpenStack myths.There are 1,557 speaking proposals for Barcelona, a Summit record. That's even more impressive when you consider that an individual can be listed as a speaker in a maximum of three sessions.
