though, so outside of Fedora.next overviews/round-tables and the
keynotes, I'm not seeing massive opportunity to bring everyone into
one of two rooms. There's easily the following tracks:
I hear your point about the CFP. Maybe if I'm convincing anyone even a
little bit here, we can make some space for this next time around, at least.
:) But....
* Cloud/virt
* Security
* Kernel
* Testing
* Languages (python, ruby, go, etc)
* Community (Outreach, Ambassadors, etc)
* Fedora.next
And those categories are painted pretty broadly. Lumping all of that
into two tracks seems ridiculous. Which of them would you like to not
have?
If we were to go to two, I wouldn't slice it that way. I'd suggest one track
with more deeply-oriented talks about specific technologies/projects and one
track aimed more at bigger picture issues.
Random examples of the first:
* Unit Testing
* DevAssistant
* State of Copr
* Ambassadors Mentor Program.
On the other track (almost correspondingly) there might be:
* Fedora QA - You are important
* Fedora for Developers
* Why I can't have the package that I need?
* Fedora: Sharing thoughts, experiences and passion.
That said, the more I look through the proposals and the more I think about
it, the more I like the idea of having each morning devoted to a *single*
track with the broader community talks, some of the Fedora.next stuff, and
any subproject talks intended to appeal to the broader audience. Then, the
afternoon could split into however many tracks seem necessary. The morning
could even include (pre-invited and pre-arranged) lightning versions of some
of the sessions later in the day (or the previous day) so the broader group
(or anyone who was pulled into a competing session) can get a taste.
