Yes, I made a mistake last year to put the Plone name on the track.   
It bred mistrust.  Earlier this year I contacted CPS and Silva to  
make it clear that this year's track would be about about working  
together.

We now have an improved environment, thanks to the contributions of  
Eric, Martijn, Nuxeo in general, and several others.  What is done  
with this spirit of equal partnership depends on the level of  
interest and participation.
