Here's the TEALS abstract for Joe's community track. As previously discussed this is not a "usual" ApacheCon session so I would like to work with LF to promote this important session a little. I'll wait until the programme is published before starting to think about that though. Title: Voluntee

Thanks Rich, #237 is a 7th talk (sort of a waiting list for precisely the reason you mention). We can go further down the list, my list was longer than that. Cheers, Hadrian On 02/20/2015 04:14 PM, Rich Bowen wrote: On 02/19/2015 01:55 PM, Hadrian Zbarcea wrote: #85 #145 #201 #188 #58

+1 to What Rich says Community managed examinations are unlikely to be adequately maintained. However, someone making a living out of it whilst also respecting our marks helps to grow the community. We should leave that space open for people with the time and skills. Ross Microsoft Open Techn

I'm kind of confused as to what happened while I was traveling, and in what order. We now have a devops track and an "integration" track, and we really don't have room for both. I have, as of right now, one full-day track, and one half day (3 talk) track, before I have to open up an 8th room.
