Hi Myoungwon, John, Jaesuk, Jugwan, everyone,
We have an open keynote slot to fill for the second day of the conference.
Last year in Barcelona we invited SWITCH to present about their use of
Ceph to support Swiss academia and science. This year we'd love to have
someone for Seoul that is local to South Korea.
There were a few talks that we accepted that caught our eye:
- "Journey for Provisioning 20k Over Rbd Volumes to Kubernetes With
Openstack" by Junyoung, Sung at NAVER.
- "Experiences of running RadosGW with billions of objects" by Ilsoo Byun
at LINE
None of us on the program committee know them or have seen them speak so
we don't really have any sense of whether they would be prepared to do a
keynote or not.
Can you think of other large South Korean users that might make for a good
keynote? Myoungwon, would something from SK Telecom make sense? Or does
anyone know of other large users we could invite that would be comfortable
presenting in English?
We could also ask someone from China (e.g., maybe Xie Xingguo from ZTE or
Haomai Wang from XSKY) if we can't find a good Korean candidate.
If we can't find a local user, our fallback is probably to ask Tom Byrne
of STFC (UK) to do his talk as a keynote. He runs one of the larger
clusters around and his talks have historically been quite good.
Thanks!
