We have been thinking about a business track idea for oSC14, but aren't sure whether to do this (and how) or not.
I think you need to define what you mean by "business track" or we're going to discuss this to death again.
Series of business lectures
What sets business lectures apart from normal lectures?
Being boring? Being in the business track? I'd like to point out that while perhaps you ask these questions to get people to think, they have a tendency to be perceived as discouraging and negative.
I ask these questions because I can't come up with a good definition for a business track myself. Otherwise, being the nice guy I am, I would propose it :-)
Back on topic, the business track would be a place where we collect business related talks - about deploying Kolab or typo3 for example. Stuff most home users won't find interesting. Just like most business aren't terribly interested in Steam.
Thanks for one example. Deploying enterprise collaboration software. Anything else? I'm asking because everything I can come up with is equally interesting for businesses as it is for advanced users/admins. Examples from oSC13: * Icinga, Puppet, Rails workshop * The GNU/Linux knowledge certification value * Introduction to MySQL Security. What's new in 5.6 * Logical Volume Manager * HA with open source all not very interesting for Steam-Users while very interesting for businesses AND power users. So where do you draw the line?
And of course topics must be business related too.
What is business related and what isn't?
Kolab is, games are not.
[...]
I'd leave it up to the CfP committee to figure out the details.
Yeah thanks. BTW you're not in the CfP team right? I am.
Let's avoid bikeshedding, please. The question Svebor had is not about every single possible detail, but if we think it makes sense to have a business track.
Dude you're not serious, how can we decide on such a question with details on the level of "Kolab-not-Steam"?
