Geez :). My impression is that some communities just assume it's gonna
happen. Let me send a few email and gauge the interest. If there's
enough (which I assume to be the case), I'll volunteer.
Yeah, that's indeed the problem. What we need is people that care about
the content to craft what they believe to be an ideal track, and then
hassle the right people into submitting those talks.
I see that some people are starting to fill out
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ACNA2015ContentCommittee and that's
awesome.
What I'd like to see by early January is a track list (with or without
speaker names), and then by the end of January, we need actual tracks,
with proposal IDs from the CFP system.
In an ideal world, everyone just comes to me with a completed track, and
we schedule it. This means that I'm trusting each of you to have the
pulse of your particular community, and to be getting input from
everyone, so that there's not one person dictating the entire event.
(I've heard one too many "RichBowenCon" jokes already, and I'm really
not interested in being BDFL of this event, despite all appearances.)
I truly want this to be a community event, in all senses - for the
community, by the community.
Cheers,
Hadrian

Not sure if my previous mail made it to the list. We kinda
traditionally had a SOA/integration track that attracted a decent
crowd. Camel, CXF, Karaf some ActiveMQ, (ServiceMix a while back) were
the main attractions. Do we want such a track this time around?
Cheers,

Track organizers you have a small job to do...
Sally is working up a marketing campaign to align with ApacheCon.
This is a campaign for the foundation not for ApacheCon itself,
however it will run during the push for attendees and is intended to
both ride on the ApacheCon press and contribute to it.
In order to help Sally plan this campaign can you please provide a
3-5 sentence description of your track in the wiki
(https://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ACNA2015ContentCommittee). Don't
worry about the details. We'll help flesh out a more "marketing
friendly" set of words. We just need some guidance on what your track
will contain.
As an example here's what I wrote for my cloud track:
"The cloud changes everything. The Apache Software Foundation changes
everything. This track will focus on how The Apache Software
Foundation and, more specifically, the Apache projects are often
found at the core of the latest and greatest innovations in IT.
Sessions in this track will show how the Apache Way enables the
largest and the smallest of companies to work together to redefine
IT. We'll also take a look into the future of cloud computing and how
Apache projects fit into, even defines, that future."
