Spark Summit CFP - Tracks guidelines

[Evan Chan <ve...@gmail.com>]

Hey guys,

Is there any guidance on what the different tracks for Spark Summit
West mean?  There are some new ones, like "Third Party Apps", which
seems like it would be similar to the "Use Cases".   Any further
guidance would be great.

thanks,
Evan
