[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

As you might imagine, the Tools category received a large number of 
proposals (way oversubscribed for both tutorials and long talks...and 
pretty close on short talks). 

Even with a waitlist category (of limited size I imagine), there will be 
quite a few...what look to me to be pretty good/interesting 
presentations...that will have to be rejected.  Further, I will be 
requesting that a number of long talks be rather done as short talks. 

Are there any further ideas that people have for dealing with the 
oversubscriptions...particularly in long talks?  There are some that 
could be reasonably categorized in 'other', and/or perhaps 'web tools', 
'soa tools' categories.  Are these all oversubscribed in long talks 
too?  Or is there perhaps some room there?

Thanks for thoughts.

Scott
