I like this idea. The new format definitely made tracks a bit useless this time around, and ripe for elimination. > * Lower Cloud Attendance - we noticed that the Cloud track was > less interesting to folks at UDS.

There seems to be plenty of talk about what cloud is capable of, but what is the state of cloud right now? I think perhaps some more presentations about where cloud is now would make the UDS "where are we headed" sessions a bit more interesting. > * Track Leads - there seemed to be some confusion surrounding the > expectations and responsibilities of track leads.

Organization and tagging (if adopted) of blueprints and sessions would be their primary focus. In addition, I always felt some review of the outcomes and follow-up on commitments has always been needed. The sessions themselves seem to run fine with just the owner of the Blueprint and a few interested parties running the discussion. > > Thanks for your feedback! > > Jono > -- Chris Gregan QA Manager OEM Services Group Canonical USA Inc. cgre...@canonical.com cgregan[irc.freenode.net] W-781-761-9448 ---- 1024/8806032D E70F 7391 6C78 9B9E 6461 1CC7 B168 E1E7 8806 032D -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
