I think it makes a huge practical difference to have topics tracks instead of team tracks. 1. Topic tracks break down silos, team tracks encourage silos 2. Topic tracks can be aligned and attended by TSC reps, TSC members could even be the topic champion. In team tracks, topics may be spread out over multiple sessions 3. Topic track goals can be established clearly before connect and those goals can be reviewed at the end of connect. > Cheers, > -- > Ricardo Salveti de Araujo -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
