|
Hi folks, The track allocations have gotten more complicated with our
shift to more short talks. I wanted to explain the allocations prior to
tomorrow’s meeting so you’ll be prepared to discuss. Doug Assumptions -
Actuals from last year make it impossible to directly
convert to this year. o
Last year: 71 long talks, 16 panels, 34
demos, 100 short talks, 87 2hr tutorial o
This year: 80 long talks, 160 short talks,
80 2hr tutorial o
We have a new track (Committer &
Contributor) that also needs talks -
Short talks are a good format for many things that we
may be tempted to put in a long talk. -
Short talks that are grouped can be used in a variety
of creative ways o
4 talks and a 10-minute Q&A or Panel o
5 speakers on the same theme (time limits and
delineation will be enforced) o
Speedy demos -
50-minute panel talks are of moderate value and should
be chosen carefully (read: do less panels). -
Most demos should be quick overviews to introduce
technology. -
Lengthy demos that are user focused should be
tutorials. -
Bjorn instructed me to reserve some talks for later allocations
and said that quality of recruited content will open up these
extra slots. Color code (to make mental comparisons easier):
