I've already written about it in one of the previous talks - I think that we can have a good approximation of categories from the "Community Over Code".
Except few language-specific categories there (Groovy which is clearly cut by "language" not category) pretty much tracks there are pretty nice "categories" of the software we have in the ASF - and they are "important enough" that someone took the lead and decided to volunteer thinking that it's worth to "carve it out" as an "entity" at Community over Code and managed to communicate their intentions to speakers who responded to CFP understanding what the "track category" is about. There are few generic (Incubator, Community, Sustainability, Server Side chat with infra) that apply to various "categories" so we can leave them out >From the https://communityovercode.org/schedule/ * Search * Streaming * Big Data Storage * Big Data Compute * API/Microservices * Cloud and Runtime * Performance Engineering * Web Servers (renamed from Tomcat and Httpd -> this is my attempt to categorise it similarly to others rather than by names of Projects/PMCs ) * Fintech * Data Engineering * Content Wrangling * Geospatial * Frameworks * Internet of Things Sounds to me like a nice set of categories that seem current and even have a chance to be regularly refreshed - potentially we could adopt it as a way to see if there are significant changes/new categories.
