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

[Ilan Rabinovitch]

As Orv mentioned we are considering adding both a developer track as
well as a formal beginner track to this year's conference.


What type of content would you be interested in seeing in these types of
tracks?  Is there something you believe SCALE content has been missing
over the years?
