I'm quite happy to be flexible about this, can anyone suggest alternatives? One option is to just un-abbreviate it, and use a name like "Multi-media real-time communications (RTC) track" - if that is not too long then I'm happy to use that Whenever I have used the term VoIP, which is quite distinctive, I've found that it disenfranchises those who are working on things like social networking, micro blogging and other non-voice applications while still using SIP or XMPP as the underlying protocol. As it is a track and not just me giving a talk, I'm simply trying to be inclusive. Ideally at least one person from that background would join the track - there are several DDs active in those areas. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
