| Yes, you can say that it is unfair and I do understand your view.
|
| However I wish you understand that I make the calls based on perception
| on  what people want to see and hear, and what will be good for the
| conference. This is not yet a democratic process - though it would be
| an  interesting idea to have a slot where talks would be selected based
| on how  registered participants ( mainly earlybirds ) vote.
|
| Yes there are two 60 minute Archetypes talks since that project is very
| popular, interesting and at the same time also filled with questions.
| To  have the possibility to get the main architect and person who has
| contributed a lot of new features to the HEAD to do talks is about
| creating good conference program, not about being unfair.
|
| Looking at Zope track there are four talks that mention Plone in their
| subject:
|
| Ship intranet applications with Plone
| Past, present and future of Plone.
| Link management in Zope/Plone.
| Organizing Zope and Plone.
|
| Two of those talks are not Plone-specific ( link management and
| Organizing  zope & plone ) - but have something also relating to Plone.
| Christian  Theune's talk about link management in Zope/Plone - will
| cover issues of  threading etc. that they had to solve during
| development of  CMFLinkChecker. And naturally Paul will be spinning some
| organisational  opensource magic into the crowd - and use Plone as an
| example.
|
| At the same time there are also three CPS-specific talks:
|
| PyPackage.org and the EDOS project

As I have told you and Martijn, this talk is only very remotely related to Zope
and CPS, and it should go in the testing/qa track. But if there is no other
option, I'd much rather keep it for another conference and leave some room to
Florent and Julien who have more interesting things to tell.
