Thinking in terms of incubating projects, we have two directions to think about. For a project like TrafficServer with a strong affinity to the likely httpd, Tomcat "Servers" theme, it probably makes sense to ask for a slot in that track. I'd like to see the httpd day cover everything from "What is httpd 2.4 [3.0?]" due out around that time, all the way to a TrafficServerm session. Hopefully even experienced admins will walk away from such a day feeling they learned a whole lot about what's going on in the industry and what's coming up. Look at your own podling and consider if a session or two would fit the theme of an existing top level project? If so, lets start a dialog at that related project :) But this won't be a solution for some podlings which don't have an obvious peer at the foundation already. There are plenty of podlings who are far enough along to consider a well thought-out "Innovation and Emerging Technologies" day, but not one with a random assortment of 6 talks. I'd like to see a program of related podlings which make sense to (generally) the same audience. And when I say 'podlings', I also mean recently graduated projects. WDYAT? What six talks would fit best together? > You'll also need to identify a track program organizer, who will be > responsible for liaising with the planners, as well as collecting the > session descriptions, speaker bios, and other programming information. > Your track organizer should email planners-2010...@apachecon.com with > your project's intent to participate, before Sunday, March 21st. I'm willing to actively help create the incubator track and find homes for other podlings who wish to present, but would really appreciate a co-host focusing strictly on an incubator day, since I'll have other programming responsibilities, too. > If you think main track programming isn't for you, don't worry!

The committee discussed and discarded the idea of ressurecting FastFeather, we would rather see a solid handful of well crafted longer talks than some Heinz 57 assortment of rapid-fire, short presentations. The more thorough talks should be more useful to the But if we want some other incubator activity, besides the hackthon, we can certainly kick around ideas. TrafficServer, for example, did a meetup at ApacheCon last year. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
