| [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Win an Aardvark |
|
All, I know you are all hard at work getting your categories in order. It looks like there are some good negotiations going on to get the submitters to work together and make their talks more concise. In case you are wondering how many un-allocated talks are available here is the list: - 10 Tutorial Slots - 12 Long Slots - 1 Main Stage Presentation On Tuesday's call next week I want to have an Aardvark bake-off. Each of you will pitch the talks that you can't fit into your allocation that you think should be in the program (aardvarks). My hope is to distributed the un-allocated talks either on the call or shortly after (email voting).  In order to make this work, we need to have finished our category reviews. This means that you should go through your category and: - Tentative-Accept the talks you can fit given your current allocation - Tag your Main Stage (if you have one) - Tentative-Decline talks that we should not consider - Tag talks that you think are good, but you can't fit as Aardvark There is not a lot of un-allocated time to spread between all of the categories so be prepared for some serious For this to work we need to be ready. As an incentive, I will give one long talk to the first category that is ready for the Aardvark sale. If your category is ready, send an email to the mailing list, I will review and let you know if you have won. There is a little fine print at the end of the post that explains the rules a bit more. I realize that I am being a bit of a dictator here. If you have a problem with that blame Doug Schaefer, I read his dictator post last week. Scott PROGRAM RULES: over-submitted 1) This only applies to the categories that are significantly over-submitted (see below). Data Tooling, Reporting, e4, CDT, and Committer And Contrib can not win this one slot. We still want you to participate in the call on Tuesday, so please make sure you are prepared. 2) No cheating. You can't just accept a bunch of talks, mark the rest as aardvarks and call it good. 3) Your category can be over-booked if you have a valid plan to reduce longs to shorts etc. I am not looking for perfection just a clear idea that your work is done. If it is confusing explain it in your email (great job to everyone who provided status for the last call). 4) Rules Subject to Change if this poorly thought out idea causes more problems than it solves.
