Thank you all for your enormous help so far. I can still use some help
if we're going to make a *July 15th* deadline for CFP notifications.
Here's what you can still do:
The spreadsheet is at *http://tm3.org/aceu2014tracks*
* Check the first tab. If something isn't in a track (ie, isn't color
coded in any way), put it in one. Even if it's a track with only one
thing in it. Otherwise it might get overlooked later on.
* Check a track you know something about - if you disagree, move stuff
to another track. Note that some tracks are topic based, while other
tracks are project based. We want to build tracks that people will
attend, not necessarily tracks that are 100% correctly categorized, so
think about topics rather than just projects, if possible.
* If a track is huge, consider splitting into logical subsets (days of
the same track, maybe?) The Big Data track is a likely candidate for
this, as is community. (Internal facing, vs external facing community,
worked well as categorizations at ACNA.)
* Within a track, sort by type - that is, list regular sessions first,
then tutorials, then lightning talks and bofs, with a blank line between
each group.
* And, still, we need reviewers. There are a lot of unreviewed talks.
That's at

Thanks!

I need to call on all you find people who have offered help with
ApacheCon. I didn't get anything done on it this weekend, and I don't
want to be holding anybody up. These are the things that I can use
help with.
* Reviewing talks - if you're willing, please sign on to the CFP
system -
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp/cfp-list?field_presentation_event_target_id%5B%5D=2260
- and start rating talks. If you don't have authorization to get to
that interface, please tell me and C. Craig Ross
<c...@linuxfoundation.org> to get that fixed.
* Sorting into tracks/categories. All of the talks are in a Google
Doc at
https://docs.google.com/a/rcbowen.com/spreadsheets/d/1NSFxoGYkzpkorJkRN7CNnZpsaO59qro3L5YjeTBVSZE/edit#gid=0
I need help dividing them up into tracks/topics/projects so that when
we have the ratings, it'll be easy to identify which ones to select
and how to divide them up. Please a) create a tab for what you think a
topic should be, b) COPY (not move) the record from "ALL TALKS" to
that tab, and c) highlight the entry on the ALL TALKS tab in a
different color to indicate that it has been categorized.
* If you are familiar with Budapest, help us with the content for
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/BudapestTips
* If your project is planning to participate in the hackathon, put
some ideas at http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/HackathonEU14 to get
attendees excited about our on-site activities.
* If your company is interested in sponsoring the event, but doesn't
know how, please email me and Angela Brown <ang...@linuxfoundation.org>
Thanks so much for any way that you can help, be it minutes our hours.
