Seb,

I don't mind collaborating. I do want to clarify some things though. It would be helpful to understand the topics each of us have submitted so that we have an idea of what we all had in mind. And it would be helpful to have Sage or Mike talk about what their vision is for Rook topics overall.

I consider the talk I submitted intro-y or advanced but somewhere in between. I anticipated having a Rook tutorial and expected that to be the base intro to Rook for most people. The topic I submitted was to develop and present a set of best-practices for running Rook (especially for Ceph users who may not be thoroughly familiar with K8s) as a next step following a topic like "what is Rook, and how do I get started". (Things like setting resource limits, labeling nodes, and some basic performance considerations). I'm not sure if a Rook intro is needed before the tutorial session given that a basic "what is Rook, and what is Ceph doing with it" is probably going to be a topic of the all-attendee talks at the beginning of the con.

It does sound like the topic Sagy submitted may cover a little bit of what I submitted in the realm of performance, which might leave more time for non-performance-related best practices.

In my estimation, the community would be served by:
Blaine
