With the exception of 11 changes (out of 235 total), all Category Change 
requests were taken and fulfilled before February 15. The change 
requests are available for all Track Chairs to review and we also have a 
filter for "Just Moved Here" so you can track presentations that are new 
to your talk. In the case of the Products, Tools & Services track, only 
one talk was moved after February 15.

The reason that we do this in 2 phases is so everyone has a chance to 
review not only their own track, but those presentations that were moved 
from another track to their own.  In this case, 95% of track changes 
were completed before the track chairs would have started the second phase.

The impetus for the Foundation approving the changes is primarily to 
take one more thing off the plate of our Track Chair volunteers. That 
said, if it presents an undue burden, let's figure out how we can make 
it better.  It involves a lot of discussion and support, so it would 
increase the amount of time needed for volunteers.

We always take feedback at the end of the process to see what did and 
didn't work, so keep all of the above in mind and let's discuss how to 
make your jobs easier :)

Cheers,
Jimmy
