There are over 50 of these 15-minute talks on the schedule at the Sydney Summit. The talks — you can find a list of them in the schedule here — are chosen by the same track chairs who decide what goes into longer sessions. They take place at the Level 2 Parkside 2 Foyer and cover everything from orchestrations and distributions to how to contribute to OpenStack. You can also find them on the Summit schedule app (iOS, Google). (And if you blink and miss them, the videos will be available following the conference.)

A few Superuser picks:

Common pitfalls of diversity efforts and how to avoid them will also be covered.
