This is a really good idea. We had a nice OpenOffice track this year, but some topics were missing, especially development topics. By allocating topics in advance and then looking for speakers (with some flexibility) we can surely have a more balanced track. You can count me in for reviewing OpenOffice submission, together with the others who already volunteered. Regards, Andrea.

Re: Content tracks at ApacheCon Austin
A SOA track was always popular as well, the cxf/activemq/camel/karaf/aries/++ ecosystem. My $0.02, Hadrian On 11/22/2014 12:16 PM, Rich Bowen wrote: The CFP for ApacheCon Austin closes on February 1st, so we have just over 2 months to get our content solicited for that event.

This has a few benefits over the standard "what do you want to talk about?" CFP process. One, you end up with the talks that represent a full coverage of a project, without big holes. And it's a great way to encourage new speakers who are having trouble deciding what they might speak about.

Re: Content tracks at ApacheCon Austin
Kay - Generally any interested Apache committer can ask to be added to the reviewers group for ApacheCon events in the Linux Foundation CFP system. You simply need to drop an email here/to Rich offering to help. If you've done reviewing for the previous two LF organised events then in principal you should already be on the authorised reviewers list. Rich - In the CFP system if you want to filter reviews by events there are two "ApacheCon North America" entries with no easy way to tell which refers to this years event and which is next years. Can we get the LF folks to add the year to those event titles in the CFP system to make the two events actually distinguishable?
