This is inline with what my thoughts are as well. Fwiw, I think 1) We have *way* too many tracks at ApacheCon NA (not sure about EU, never had the opportunity to attend one). Seeing 10-15 attendees at a talk is disheartening :-/. 2) We have *way* too narrow scope of most talks (not all). What I would personally like to see is focus on a theme, or particular technologies, and how those affects and works with various Apache Foundation projects. A few example ideas that (just randomly pulled out of my magic hat): 1) HTTP/2 and Apache - Where are we going with the next gen Web protocols? 2) TLS and Apache - Securing the internet the Apache way. 3) Datamining your Apache data - How to get all your <X>, <Y> and <Z> Apache projects data into <W> (Hadoop?) 4) State of data transport - There are plenty of Apache projects dealing with data transports, and some IETF work as well. Just my $.01, — Leif
