Overview

The Open Networking Summit - NA 2019 event offers two "un-conference" areas for topic discussions, small-team breakouts etc. We call this an "Unconference" because it's less about pre-conceived and pre-arranged formal presentations and instead allows for discussion topics of interest to "spring up" either closer to the event or at the event itself.

Approximately 50% of the Unconference sessions will be selected from the proposed topics below. The other half will be scheduled at the event on first-come, first-serve basis If you have a topic you'd like to discuss at ONS and don't already see it below, please consider adding it. If you do see a topic below that you would like to participate in, then please add your name to the list of potential attendees. We will use those lists to determine which topics get scheduled prior to the event.

This wiki is now freely available to edit. Please feel free to add your session. However, please do not delete or move someone else's session without their permission.
