DebConf10/TalksDump

NOTE: This is a raw dump of the talks committee notes, it isn't particularly intelligible for anyone who wasn't there, but it contains some information that we all need to fulfill some of the individual tasks we committed to.

Review of how talks@debconf in the past

Talk about session chairs and panels bit too http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/SessionChairProposal

talk about keynotes vs. invited talks

example panel discussion: intersection between free software and privacy or legal concerns

group sessions into 2 categories, shorter dual sessions in single track days half-day/whole day workshops that are happening at the same time

glossary terminology clarification has been moved to its own page!

what are we asking for, besides a talk or a tutorial i want to lead suggestions for tracks/thematic groups that are not linked to responsibilities. track proposal has to say something track coordinators for given tracks: this is what you can expect: you wont have to do all of the work. we will talk to you about how much time, we will seed the track
