Content tracks vs standalone talks

2014-12-14 Thread Andrus Adamchik
Hi, I am considering submitting an Apache Cayenne talk for ACNA. To be precise, 
the talk will be about building model-driven REST applications with Apache 
Cayenne and LinkRest (a framework based on Cayenne, and a potential incubator 
candidate).

Following discussion about tracks on this list, I've been wondering where do 
standalone talks fit here? Is it imperative to find an appropriate track for 
the talk, and what happens if it doesn't cleanly fit anywhere?

Appreciate guidance/insight on this.

Hi Sharan

Looking forward to see you in austin (there will be plenty of vegetarian
food even though its a cattle city, btw I got several complaints for not
offering vegetarian in budapest).

i had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a spam isolation/detection
problem. Nick Burch waved a magic stick and I could edit.

have a nice day

 Hi

 I've written a summary for the OFBiz track but am having problems editing
 the wiki to copy it in. Logging in is fine but I cant change anything.
 Please can someone check that I've got edit access?

 Thanks

 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.

If you could tell us what username you use on that wiki, then someone can 
grant you karma!


(In common with most ASF wikis these days, to avoid spam, anyone can sign 
up for an account, but you need to post to the list with your username to 
be added to the contributors group before you can edit)

Jan,

I noticed the ps in your reaction to the posting of Sharan.

Is there something specific you're hinting towards, that you can't find in
the project's web pages?

Can you elaborate on your ps.

Regards,

Pierre Smits
