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

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.




Cheers,
Hadrian

Not sure if my previous mail made it to the list. 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. Do we want such a track this time around?

Sessions in this track will show how the Apache Way enables the

Apache projects fit into, even defines, that future.

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.

That's exactly the problem Hadrian. Far too many of our projects expect 
something valuable to just emerge. We need to get the PMCs to take ownership. 
We need speakers from outside the usual pool.

You sending a few emails will help :-)
