Hi, I am considering submitting an Apache Cayenne talk for ACNA. To be precise, the talk will be about building model-driven REST applications with Apache Cayenne and LinkRest (a framework based on Cayenne, and a potential incubator candidate). Following discussion about tracks on this list, I've been wondering where do standalone talks fit here? Is it imperative to find an appropriate track for the talk, and what happens if it doesn't cleanly fit anywhere? Appreciate guidance/insight on this.
At the moment, we don't have enough tracks to fill all of the space, so there will be a lot of room remaining for "standalone" talks. However, if you can affiliate with a track, you'll benefit from additional marketing efforts, which is good for everyone. Hopefully in the coming days, we'll have some clear track definition statements, and it might be more obvious whether one of the tracks is the right home for your talk. But, if not, yes, we'll have lots of room for these additional talks.
The additional benefit of these standalone talks is that they give a way for unrepresented projects to have a voice in the event, and that's awesome, too.
