Community Track at ApacheCon Europe?
Hi All
I'm currently in the process of putting the proposed tracks for ApacheCon
Europe into the website, and I noticed we don't currently have a community
track proposed. I've really enjoyed past community tracks, and learnt a
lot from them, so I think it'd be great if we could do one again.
Is anyone able to volunteer to act as a track chair for the community
track, so we can add it to the list? There's info on the apachecon-discuss
list about what this role entails, but it isn't too much work. Any takers?
Thanks
Nick

Nick,
Sorry that is a massive oversight on my part. You can certainly put me
down as chair and I note that Nor is showing interest so I will be
enlisting him to help or even be encouraging him to be chair (Nor I'd
prefer it if you were chair and I were co-chair).

Yay for Nor!!!
I'm happy to help in any way I can but I will do so in assistance to
Nor rather than leading things myself. Nor, I'm sure you will not be
shy of asking for my help and as long as it is done in a sufficiently
public way I'm sure others will chip in too.

Great, glad to have you two on board :)
We'll need someone to fill in the details of the track in the
spreadsheet. I've added the track to the CFP dropdown, but we'll need a
description for it on the website on the tracks page. Nour - you should
have edit karma for the ACAEU website, so please go ahead and add in the
track description once you've added it in the spreadsheet!
Thanks

I don't mind doing either I wanna help anyway and learn at the sametime. So
allow me to make it your call. From your own experience me being the chair
and you the co-chair can we achieve that or the other way around ? :)
Actually if I am the chair u will not be the co-chair, for me u will be the
coach chair :)
Looking for reply ?

Main duty is to coordinate (or perform) session selection for the
track. I'd love it if you were chair, I am very happy to help as
co-chair. If you prefer we can switch the roles the other way around,
but but that's your call (see my replyt to Nick).

Great, any chance that you could fill in the details on the the "Call For
Tracks" google docs form? <s.apache.org/ACEUTracks>

Sorry, I thought you'd already seen the discussions about it go past on
the ApacheCon-Discuss mailing list. Basically, the track chair is the
liason between the community (in this case the community community!) and
the conference. It involves passing on info, helping with bits of the
content for the site, suggesting good community members for publicity,
generally helping out etc. I think you'd already volunteered for a lot of
this anyway... ;-)
Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,
If we explain it as not being project specific but as elaborating on the
dynamics of OS communities in general and of Apache communities in
particular, then I understand it.

Perhaps the best way to explain it is through the talks this track has
hosted in the past. Over the past few years, we've had:
* http://na11.apachecon.com/talk/by_track/1401
* http://archive.apachecon.com/c/acna2010/schedule/grid (scroll to
Thursday, Room 4)
* http://archive.apachecon.com/c/acus2009/schedule/grid (scroll to
Thursday, Track 1)
Does that give you some idea of what we normally put include?

Hi all,
I might not be that much versed in Apache terminology, but what is a
'community track'? And what are/is the definition of the other kind?
Please help me understand?
