ApacheCon EU event
Steve, All, Thanks for the extension on the deadline for CfP and the explanation on the sponsorship. Coming Monday (30th), the OFBiz Track Team is holding their confcall on how to organize the OFBiz track. We will then have the opportunity to address those issues. After the confcall we will able to fill in more blanks (that we currently have) regarding the OFBiz track. Regards, Pierre
Re: ApacheCon EU event
Please understand that the extension of the CfP deadline was a suggestion only. I am not a dictator (not for ApacheCon EU, anyway ... ;-) It's up to ConCom whether that happens or not. regards Steve On Jul 28, 2012, at 4:09 AM, Pierre Smits wrote: Steve, All, Thanks for the extension on the deadline for CfP and the explanation on the sponsorship.

Regards, Pierre I 'like' mechanism is certainly a viable option. One could expand on this and possibly allow people to comment on a track or a speech, letting us know what people think about the track/speech and which questions/issues they'd like brought up there. Daniel, the first rule of plugging is to actually mention somewhere the name of the thing you are trying to plug... Just an idea :) With regards, Daniel.

I think the planned way to gauge that is by the number of submissions for a track, and on the ratings given to talk proposals in it. I believe that the ability for people who have submitted talk proposals to rate other talks should be coming this week, but Steve can perhaps confirm? (The website software supports it, it needs a few tweaks before it can go live). If you've experienced the PyCon CFP before, then I'm told it'll be much the same process Also, would it possible to show for each track how many papers have been submitted as well? This could help the audience and ourselves (PTC et all) with planning? You should be able to see that in the review process when it's live Nick

I wasn't trying to plug comments.apache.org, I was merely suggesting that having people be able to comment on upcoming tracks might be an idea worth exploring. Was it inspired by it? yes, but it wasn't meant as a sales pitch. I think people already know of comments.a.o, and if the organizers are interested, I'd be more than happy to show them how it works, but it was not my intention to promote a specific piece of software, it was my intention to promote an idea. With regards, Daniel.
Re: ApacheCon EU Event, website and interest measurement
on a site note, there's still a track called Web infractrusture. Can someone fix this? The link in the list is correct, but the title at the bottom still hasn't been fixed. With regards, Daniel.

Good spot, should be fixed now If someone fancies coming up with a slightly expanded description for the track to go on the website, we wouldn't say no! (Otherwise we'll bug the people listed as the track chairs for a bigger description a bit nearer the time) Nick
