Hi,
fyi - Spoke to Mark Shuttleworth in person at the Juju Summit if he would be available to present for the CxO / Business track we are planning, and he mentioned that SCALE 15x in March 2-5th collides with MWC ( Mobile World Congress ends March 2 ) and that would impact his availability.

Thank You Matti

Hi,
This is what I was thinking, it's a draft at this point, please feel free to chime in. ( perhaps we can do a slack session for more detailed discussion? )
"We would like to introduce a new track covering the nexus between CxOs and Open Source technology and concepts.
Purpose: To share experiences, knowledge, and network with each other regarding open source technology and concepts to enable more effective and robust business solutions from a CxO perspective.
Possible presentation topics: 1 - Open Source Licensing ( perhaps we can do a quick summary and point people to the legal track for more ) 2 - Fighting patent challenges 3 - How to retain and attract Open Source developers and promote Open Source contributions within the organization, and address the legal issues. 4 - ... "

Hi Lori,
Would be delighted to have you and anyone else interested help out.
I think the track will evolve over time, the principle goal imho is to have compelling content for CxO types.
This is to balance out SCaLE and help ensure engagement and sponsorships.
As we grow and evolve the beginner and NG tracks we should imho also do so for the top end, as potential sponsors always ask me about influencers and decision makers.
I'll be working on a draft today and we can use that as a starting point.
Thank You Matti

what is the description for the CxO track? i was presuming it was for architecture level talks. maybe talk about financial tradeoffs to pull in the business side of things. but if it's broader, and this is startup focused, you're still in my wheelhouse.

I'll put together a proposed abstract for a CxO level track, Richard and Der Hans please review it, and I will also ask Joe Devon to review it.
imho it is critical that we have CxO level topics to get more buy in from the industry to make a stronger SCALE event.
I would like to see this track on Thru, that way when the CxOs can see the value of SCaLE they will still have an opportunity to send their employees to SCALE for Friday, perhaps even Sat and Sunday.
If we want to have small and medium business topics then I would like to see that in a separate track.
Thank You Matti

moin moin Ilan,
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: https://gist.github.com/irabinovitch/215e6761994e6c4a1f24fad842a687d4
An enterprise track is listed on the cfp highlighting small and large businesses asking for real world examples.
If you're looking for someone for that track, then Richard and I will propose an abstract. If someone is already leading that track, then we want to volunteer to help.
ciao,
