Please see the Tracks-related information here: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/TalkGlossary And look at the other tracks here: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/Tracks Basically, we'd need you to solicit Arts/Media-related proposals from people who are doing interesting work, maybe pull together people on a panel/debate/discussion or two, and figure out ordering and a coherent over-arching theme for the track. You might want to look at the "All Events" page on https://penta.debconf.org/ to see what arts-related proposals have been submitted already, since we're past the official proposal submission deadline. Good communications with the talks and scheduling teams (here on this list is fine) will also be critical so that when we're deciding what proposals to accept and how to schedule them we can make sure the track comes together. (we're doing this for the first time this year, so any insight you have to the process, or how it *should* work would be welcome as well). Additionally, during debconf, we hope that the track coordinator will stay on top of the logistics of the track, introduce presenters, keep things moving and well-paced, and report back to the larger group at the end of the conference. Pablo and Michael have started to document what they're pulling together on individual track pages (Java and Math/Science, respectively). Have a look at their work to understand what they've done, and feel free to ask questions here too. > I plan to attend DebCamp, so there should also be some on-site time to > coordinate the track. Hopefully, most of the pre-debconf track coordinating work will be done by the time debcamp starts (though there will of course be exceptions). Thanks for stepping up for this! If you decide you want to go ahead with it, please modify the Tracks page with your information, and start documenting what you've pulled together. Regards, --dkg
