I dont believe we've confirmed a business track yet.  At this point we're asking anyone proposing new tracks to help write a brief abstract describe the track and the types of sessions it would include similar to this:

moin moin,

I don't recall getting a confirmation one way or another and want to get
moving either way.

Are Richard and I leading the enterprise track or is someone else?

moin moin,

Richard and I want to volunteer to run a business track, preferably
Thursday.

Business - This track highlights the importance of FOSS to business
success including business infrastructure, product development and the
FOSS community ecosystem.

We would also like to work with or run the CxO mixter that Matti proposed
and tie the two together.

ciao,

Wanted to respawn this thread as we prepare to open up our CFP.

Having an Open Data track sounds like a great idea, we will have this as
one of our tracks.

Generally we have enough coverage in Storage but having a dedicated track
would be something to try out.

Again, it would be great to have volunteers lead the tracks, that would
include recruiting potential speakers and also leading it on the day-off,
potentially setting up a theme for that track...

We will have a blurb for this in the CFP as well...

Regards,
Shyam

Regarding Space in LA area, don't forget X-Prize & Virgin Galactic are
also here.

In fact, the timing of this message is good.  I'm president of
www.uncoded.org -- a non-profit in Long Beach that works at local
connecting tech community -- and we hold a monthly tech mixer. Next week,
Will Pomerantz,  Vice President of Special Projects at Virgin Galactic (and
previously with X-prize) will be our special guest.

It might make sense for one or two folks from the core SCaLE team to drop
in, details: http://www.meetup.com/Uncoded/events/230279066/

Also, it's been a couple years but my web shop www.MediaDoneRight.com
<http://www.mediadoneright.com/> was also helpful in building
www.SpaceX.com <http://www.spacex.com/> -- I might even have a few
contacts.

HI,

Reaching out the key members of the pro-open source user community
there's a few track ideas I would like to share with everyone here.

A) I believe we can find volunteers to help get these tracks organized,
so that they take minimal time from the core SCaLE team.

B) Question on how to help make procedures / infrastructure to assist in
building these tracks.

Track ideas:
1) Open Data track / Civic Open Data - I believe this would make a great
track, and that we can get the City of Pasadena, City of LA and OTHER
cities to participate. They can use this track to help supplement their
city run hack-a-thons. ( we can probably get the various Open Data SaaS
providers to sponsor the tracks )

2) CTO mixer - we need imho to bring in CxOs into SCaLE to help bring
great industry support and encourage their staffs to join us. Joe Devon who
organizers and runs a lot of the pro-open source LA meetups is currently
running a CTO mixer meetup - and discussing this with him seems like this
would be a great fit for SCaLE. - I was thinking Thur would be a great day
for this... and I would expect that we can get some good sponsorship for
this.

3) Space / Space Open Data - NASA just had their Space App Challenge and
it was well attended in Pasadena, as well as OC and they had events
throughout the world. The also had Open Data available for attendees, and
JPL has an Open Data proponent. With Space X also in LA we should be able
to find some great opportunities to make a "Space / Space Open Data" track.
We could have this be a Science Open Data track for 1 day followed by a
Civic Open Data track

4) Storage track - Jordan Swartz talked to me about creating an Storage
track Thur before DevOps day. Sounded like a great idea, and he seemed very
interested in being the lead.

Qs:
How do we coordinate and empower those interested in creating good tracks
into SCaLE?
Do I ask potential leads to join the planning list?
Do we have any SaaS tools which are useful?

Thank You
Matti
