I agree, removing the bad talks is what we should work at ...

Some more suggestions:

	1. After the track makes its initial selection, assign persons from
           other tracks to review them. These persons are more  
independent, and
           will pay closer attention to non-functional areas. To  
prevent
           overload and ensure all events are reviewed this process  
needs to be managed.
           I.e. 3 reviewers per event, centrally assigned. I think we  
would need
           some score card on different criteria with a minimum for  
each.

	2. Ask the submitter for an audio sample, or interview them on Skype
           and attach this to the record. Would also be nice if they  
could
	   attach a previous presentation. This will allow us to filter the
	   mumblers and people that unfortunately do not master sufficient  
English.

	3. Just as JavaOne, provide coaching during the conference

	4. Have a tutorial: "Presenting at EclipseCon", given by a real  
professional.
           I will participate!

Kind regards,

	Peter Kriens
