Hey Folks-- As you may know, we are trying to organize some thematic groupings of talks at debconf 10. We're calling these groupings "tracks".
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/Tracks i put a call out on planet.debian.org recently asking for people to coordinate a track if they're interested [0]. And using the ta...@debconf.org alias, i also reached out to specific people and communities for some of the brainstormed track ideas, hoping to find good coordinators. While i didn't do this this as well as i should have (we should have started the tracks business much earlier, and i think i should have sent the tracks call to d-d-a, in retrospect), i'm happy to say it's panning out well. The debian community is awesome. So we now have the following prospective tracks underway, with the associated coordinators: * Debian Integration in the Enterprise -- Sam Hartman * Mathematics and Science in Debian -- Michael Banck * Debian Community Outreach -- Andy Oram and Frank B. Brokken * Java in Debian -- Pablo Duboue This is all listed at http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/Tracks I hope i haven't missed anything that's already come in, and there is still room for new tracks, if someone steps up soon to volunteer as a coordinator. Coordinators, if i've mis-stated your affiliation, or you want to change the name of the track, or whatever, feel free to edit that wiki page, and to discuss it here on debconf-t...@lists.debconf.org. If you have concerns about the talks or the tracks that you think need to be addressed privately with the talks team, you can use the ta...@debconf.org alias. Since this is debian, we prefer public communication if possible :) Inclusion of any given track in debconf 10 is still contingent on there being enough good submissions for the track, and on scheduling concerns, of course. I'm very excited about the work that has been submitted so far, and i look forward to seeing the schedule come together.
