The SSI suggested that we could call the Science Track something like the Research Track so as to capture people working with Python in the humanities and arts.

How would you feel about calling this a theme rather than a track?

A track sounds like something you have to decide to join or follow, whereas a theme simply suggests that we have a coherent and considered programme around a certain topic.

The same goes for the teachers' track. Calling it the education (or teaching) theme would have the same effect, and also make it more clearly welcoming and suitable for non-teachers.

There was a discussion among the Science Track attendees last year (2015) about what they wanted to call the track (conclusion: Code4Research). Since that name was chosen by delegates I feel we should stick with it. Whether we use the word "track" or "theme" is (IMO) less important, so long as we are consistent.
