VMware thanks everyone that submitted for the VMworld 2008 Call for Papers! They had an overwhelming response with over 875 submissions. This year submissions were reviewed and voted on by a content committee, consisting of almost 200 people including industry analysts, VMware customers, partners, and employees. Unfortunately because of limited space, VMware was only able to accept 25% of those submissions. The decision process was difficult; many quality sessions had to be declined. They are exploring innovative ways to weave those speakers and their content into other areas of VMworld and VMorld.com. Stay tuned for other opportunities to participate.
