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.

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.

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.

Re: Content tracks vs standalone talks
On 12/14/2014 04:10 AM, Andrus Adamchik wrote: 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. At the moment, we don't have enough tracks to fill all of the space, so there will be a lot of room remaining for standalone talks. However, if you can affiliate with a track, you'll benefit from additional marketing efforts, which is good for everyone. Hopefully in the coming days, we'll have some clear track definition statements, and it might be more obvious whether one of the tracks is the right home for your talk. But, if not, yes, we'll have lots of room for these additional talks. The additional benefit of these standalone talks is that they give a way for unrepresented projects to have a voice in the event, and that's awesome, too. --Rich -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
ApacheCon Austin keynotes (and other stuff)
Over the coming days, I'm going to be tossing some things onto the list, in the hopes that someone will have time to step up and take some of these tasks, which I afraid I'm going to drop if I don't get them written down somewhere. So, here's one of them ... I started a conversation a while back about potential keynotes for Austin - that thread is at http://markmail.org/message/gmerzm2c7fnzz4at I wonder if someone might have time to dig through that thread for names, and, perhaps contact information that might go with them. And we're always looking for additional suggestions, always bearing in mind that diversity is important, and, as observed at ApacheCon last month, dudes with beards, and dudes without beards doesn't count as diversity. We've got an etherpad going at https://pad.apache.org/p/AustinBrainstorm with a Keynotes section down at the bottom. It's becoming a bit of a mess, but until we have a better place to track stuff (maybe an actual doc in svn?) that's where I've been braindumping stuff. (You'll need ASF LDAP committer credentials to edit that etherpad.) Thanks in advance. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon

Are we gathering this content anywhere right now or is everything on this list? It would maybe help to get a document opened which people can use to propose/organize material? Thoughts? Thank you Lewis If you would find that helpful, that's fine, but as Jan says, the CFP needs to be the authoritative source of the actual talk proposals, while each track chair should be prepared to present me with a list of talks (referencing those talk proposals in the CFP system) that they wish to be their track. For both Budapest and Denver, we created a great deal of headache by having multiple documents that all contradicted one another. As was mentioned elsewhere on this list, we'll also have, I'm sure many 'extra-track' talks that we'll need to fit in elsewhere in order for smaller projects to have representation. Ideally, over the next few events, this will encourage more communities to step up and plan their own tracks. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
