ApacheCon schedule status

[Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>]

I've got a mostly-done tentative schedule, and I need lots of people to 
look at it.

http://tm3.org/cfpreview is all of the talks, broken into categories
http://tm3.org/actracks is the proposed schedule

I'm waiting for feedback from the Hadoop/Bigdata folks, and from the 
Science folks, so those tracks are marked in grey as full, but I don't 
have actual content there.

I also have the 9th track on day 3 empty, and I don't have any fallback 
talks picked out.

So, what I still need:

* Look over the whole schedule and see that it hangs together
* Compare the talks listed in the ALL TRACKS tab with everything else, 
ensuring that there aren't talks that have been omitted from consideration.
* Ensure that we don't have folks speaking twice at the same time
* Ensure that the *ordering* in the individual tracks makes sense
* Ensure that there's not obvious irreconcilable conflict between 
concurrent talks. (ie, everyone is going to want to go to both.)
* Anything else that I've overlooked in this process.

Thank you all so much for your assistance so far. Almost every track has 
had extensive help from *someone* in putting it together.

Notes:
* All "lightning talks" and "BoF" submissions are marked rejected 
because they're not scheduled at this point in the process. We'll do 
that next after we publish this schedule
* If you have comments, please reply to this email. If you make comments 
in the spreadsheet they'll likely get lost in the noise
* If you want to edit a track directly in the schedule spreadsheet, just 
ask, and I'll add you to the access list
* The second URL - http://tm3.org/actracks - is redirecting to a 
different location than it was yesterday, so make sure you're looking at 
the version that has all three days full of content, not the one that's 
mostly empty.

By the way, there is a VERY limited budget for additional travel funding 
directly from LF. I mention this so that folks can say "this person 
really needs to be there", not so that you can actually tell anyone that 
there's funding available. We don't want to advertise this, because the 
budget is, as I say, very limited, and it's pretty much at my discretion 
- and I really don't want folks lobbying me for it. :-)

We kind of suck on backups right now. I will contact Mr. Marroquin and 
ask if he will still be able to attend.

Thanks.

Mr. Renato Marroquin has been unsuccessful in obtaining travel assistance.
Currently he is assigned slot H6 on the grid. His proposed presentation is
'Turning NoSQl data in Graphs'.
It *may* be the case that he is not there. Therefore, if we could assign a
backup it would be more than safe.
How far on are we with backups... ? I am v far behind so sorry folks.

+1 for grouping from me. If the two talks cover fairly different content
but the same project/topic, I'd probably appreciate being able to see
them back-to-back. 

Best,

I was actually specifically trying to group similar content so that 
people could plan their day in blocks. However, I'd be glad to make any 
changes that your segment of the community things we should make. What 
do the other cloud/cloudstack/libcloud/jcloud people think?

Rich,

I noticed that there are two Libcloud talks scheduled one after another on
Day 1 in the Cloudy track.

First one is by Sebastien and the other one is by me. Those talks are quite
different (Sebastien will talk about the library usage, etc. and I will
talk more about the community and project growth), but I still think it
would be better if those talks aren't scheduled one after another.

This way people can have a short break from Libcloud. Also, maybe my talk
might fit better into the community track.

What do other people think?

Seems Roman Shaposhnik is scheduled to present two talks
simultaneously on Day 1.  (Google-in-a-box, and his co-present with
Suresh Marru on mentoring in the Incubator).

Looks like my Incubator talk is scheduled to be given on both Day 1 and Day 3.

Yes, it will be so awesome that attendees will demand an encore.

Thank you all for your extremely helpful feedback so far. I would very 
much like to put this to bed by close of business today so that we can, 
as promised, send out speaker notifications on Monday.

If anyone has any contacts in the CXF community, please yell at them and 
tell them that I need to speak with them urgently. Meanwhile, I'm off to 
look through PMC rosters.
