[Scale-planning] S7X Speaker Tracks - quantity & type?

[Orv Beach]

In an effort to be more open, SCALE has decided to move some of the 
discussion (planning - doh) for SCALE 7x to the SCALE-planning list.

Here are our first thoughts on the number and type of session tracks 
we're contemplating for SCALE 7x in February.
- Note that the "lab tutorial" track that Shyam mentions below was tried 
last year as the Education track's hand-on lab; we're considering 
formalizing it in some way.
- Note #2 - the CFP that Shyam mentions is the "Call For Papers; the 
solicitation for proposals for talks.

We'd appreciate your input on the tracks and possible content for them.

Caveat - what we want and what we can get frequently diverge - nothing 
said here will be cast in stone.  But thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards,
Orv

Hi Orv,

Sorry just got back from my vacation last night so am still catching
up on my email etc. From the sounds of it, looks like we might end up
having quite a few speaker tracks so far. Just from memory, it seems
like we will have

3 main tracks (as usual)
1 beginner track
1 developer track
1 lab tutorial track (??)

So I am assuming that we will have enough space for the above 6 tracks
(or at least 5 if we leave the lab track). Having said that, my
thinking was along the lines of having one CFP with information about
the above, say 3 main tracks + developer track and then have a
separate CFP for the beginners track (generally we get a lot of
submissions for this one). I'll send out a rough draft of the same in
the next couple of days.

.

Thanks,

Regards,
Shyam
