RE: ApacheCon Schedule
Re pushing out to PMCs. Historically this has not been a good idea. Once you have 200+ PMCs and PPMCs fighting over 200+ slots you get a horribly disjointed program with no real value. This is one reason why I want LF to set the theme. We can then create a smaller list of PMCs that fit the theme. My as yet unspoken hope is that we will then end up with multiple ApacheCons each year, something like ApacheCon: Big Data, ApacheCon: Applications, ApacheCon: Cloud. However we need to give LF time to walk before we ask them to consider running (I believe that time has now passed and will make this suggestion in Austin when we debrief.

We currently have 6 waitlisted talks, and I'm probably going to take several of those right now to fill in some empties. I am now on my second iteration, to mark talks as wait-listed.

This is really a good argument for pushing more out to the PMCs and have track chairs, who start before CFP officially opens, so they can help create the right talks. I take this as a lesson learned.

recent BZ changes -- some custom fields missing?
We had an update to our BZ instance about a month ago. In all honesty, I didn't give the update a thorough review. Now, I see that our Release Blocker button, and Request Review button seem to be missing. Can someone else confirm this? or is it just my situation.
