</span>I don't know. I'm still undecided on how to split tracks. Level wise,<br>
topic wise. I think splitting them mostly topic wise and then marking<br>
talks is one way of doing it[1].<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd love to see one, at least one good extreme talk per year.</div><div>My $0.02</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Doing it like you suggest makes this track, in some ways, "lower". This<br>
is where you go to if you're inexperienced, a first timer or something<br>
else we think less of. This is a gut feeling but I think, within the<br>
conference, everything should be equal.<br>
