Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Vocabulary

How about "type", "committee", and "track"?
Or "type", "area", and "track"?

So we’re now all “Category Leads”?   Sounds a look silly, but if it makes you happy, we can do it. 

For vocabulary clarity, let’s use the following terms when discussing content:

  • type - keynote, tutorial, long talk, short talk, etc. – the length and format of the session
  • category - one of the two things that used to be known as a "track", this is how the program committee divides itself into sub-PCs: there is an RCP category and an OSGi category and a New Technology category and a Web Tooling category, etc.
  • track - the other of the two things that used to be known as a "track" and still is: these are the user defined (or Ian defined) traces through the entire program. For example "Bjorn's Track" or the "Dynamic Languages Track".
