Have You Voted for OpenStack Summit Barcelona Proposals Yet?

As you know, it's that time again: voting is open for proposals for the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona this coming October 25-28, 2016.  Although the schedule is ultimately determined by a group of subject matter experts known as the "track chairs", it's important to vote on sessions so they have an idea of what you want to see.
And not just the sessions that you get bombarded with over social media, either. We'd like to encourage you to take a look at as many of the sessions listed at the summit voting site as you can -- or at least, in the tracks that interest you.  
Meanwhile, we're proud to present you with a list of proposals submitted by our experts. If they interest you, please use the search and vote for them.
And even if they don't interest you, please go to the site and look over the proposals that are there; your opinion matters! And do it before the deadline—August 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
