| [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] New Button - Curage a set for ec2009 |
|
All, Next time you go into the submission system you will see a new button on the home page:  This is the way that we will be combining short talks into a full hour of talks. When you use this, you will create a new Long Talk with its own Title, Abstract, Category and Description. From there you will be able to select individual talks to make up the full session. The functionality seems to be pretty close, but I have opened a bug to track a couple of refinements that I would like to see. If you see any other issues, please at to that bug. At this point, the only people that have the ability to create short talks are the Program Committee. Yes this means we have one more task to do. When you have your short talks bundled into what you feel are appropriate groups, you will need to create a talk and add the submissions. One note, you should focus on trying to come up with a catchy title and a succinct abstract. The top level of the program will only show the Title of the curated talk, so it will be up to you all to sell the short talks. I would like to have the short talks curated by Wednesday next week. My hope is to have this done so that when the big button is pushed, the short talks will be able to see who they will be presenting with. I will send another reminder out at the end of the week, once the interface has been finalized. Let me know if you have any questions. Scott Rosenbaum |
