I don't think I buy the premise that Fedora is -- or should be! -- less of a
single topic than all of open source graphics. We're _one_ project, after
all.
You voted on the submitted talks, right? I'm not sure how you can
possibly think the submitted talks map to anything but varied
interests. We have to work with the material the Fedora community has
given us.
Of course it's a big project, and I agree that it's not
possible to do it
*all* that way, but surely there's enough common ground that a good portion
of the conference can bring us all together.
There might have been if the CFP was setup differently. It wasn't
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:
* 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?
The voting results would be helpful here, but I'm still doubtful we
can only run two rooms at a time.
