We may be a little late to the party on this, but if there is still time / room to set up another track, I am +1. I thought about suggesting a pool/dbcp talk for the tomcat track, but it would probably be better to do this as part of a commons track, if we can get that organized in time. I could also do something on math if we have critical mass to do some other talks and can still get this in. Sally - is is possible to still add a track? All - any other volunteers / ideas?
