It is more about how we market our participation/presentation, than how the organiser (LF) and/or the ASF market the event. We have an opportunity here to introduce OFBiz to a variety of potential adopters in the European market space.
Of course there a kind of chicken-and-egg situation here. People won't attend (won't pay) if the OFBiz track is not appealing. And we can be certain that if the submitted talks don't appeal to the organiser (both in quantity and quality) the talks won't get accepted. We must offer a value for money if we want to succeed at this.
