About The Forum Submission and Selection Process

Make an etherpad for your team or the group of teams you are working with and list as many ideas as you can think of
Add your brainstorming etherpad to the list of etherpads on the wiki so everyone can see what you are thinking about
Talk with other teams to see how you can work together
Merge similar ideas
Prioritise the session ideas
Work out which your team thinks are worth proposing for the Forum, and write abstracts for them
Find moderators for each of your proposed sessions
Tip: The best sessions involve both users and developers working together
Tip: Don't expect a lot of dedicated sessions just for your individual project

The formal submission tool will be announced as open after a few weeks of brainstorming
Work out who will submit your team's proposals and the moderator for each proposed session
Get the abstract, title and moderator ready, then submit

The Forum Selection Committee will look at all of the proposals and try to make the best schedule possible
A draft schedule will be released to the mailing list - post your comments!
Look out for conflicts between sessions, missing ideas or anything else you think is important
As soon as practical, the schedule will be uploaded to the summit site
Once the schedule is live, everyone should share it as widely as we can to get the entire community excited

You can more about this process on the OpenStack Wiki.
