The call for papers submissions are currently being reviewed. Some people are reporting (on Twitter), that their session is approved. Everyone else will be notified via email of the status of their submission by June 3, 2009.
TA2650 "Take PowerShell and the VI Toolkit to the Next Level" @LucD22 and @halr9000

And of course @shandor and @cshanklin are one of the lucky ones. I think Carter's session will have to do something with the vSpehere PowerCLI. I didn’t hear anything about my submission thought. I will keep a close watch on my inbox.
Update :
Thank you for your interest in speaking at VMworld 2009. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept your VMworld 2009 proposal.
A Record Number of Submissions
We received a record number of session proposals for this year's conference and we were only able to accept 33% of the submissions.
We received hundreds of excellent proposals to fill a limited number of speaking slots. The speaking slots correspond directly to the number of rooms available in this year’s conference location, the length of sessions and the business hours that the conference hall is open.
The Submission Review Process
The content committee reviewed each and every submission and cast over 14,000 votes on the session submissions. The content committee is comprised of VMware customers, partners and employees. While keeping in mind the need to cover a variety of topics from a mix of industries, geographies, and business sizes, the content team set out this year to select the highest quality content that represented the tracks appropriately. The team also looked for content that addressed the typical VMworld attendee in terms of technical level (beginner, intermediate and advanced) with content that touched on current trends, issues and solutions facing the virtualization industry. In most cases, there were multiple high quality submissions for the same slot.
We greatly appreciate and value the time and effort you took to submit a session proposal, and we hope that you will participate in the VMworld call for papers next year.
