Funny how 3 million seconds seems like a long ways a way. But a month
seems like it is coming up fast.
We all agreed to put a little bit more effort around the tutorial
presentations this year. At this point, my hope is that most of the
tutorial presenters have been working on their presentations and are
pretty well set. (always the optimist)
The reality is that many of the presenters have been thinking about
their presentation, but the conference seems like a long ways away.
My hope is that you will be able to review your tutorial presentations
and work with the presenters to make sure that they are ready to go.
I have created a google spread-sheet that tracks four things for each
of the tutorials:
Item
|
Deadline
|
Abstract
|
2/20/2009
|
Outline
|
2/27/2009
|
Slides
|
3/6/2009
|
Exercise
|
3/13/2009
|
My hope is that each of you will review these items for each of your
tutorials and make sure that they are good to go. As these items are
completed, please add a date in the appropriate column in the
spread-sheet. Review means actually looking at the materials and where
appropriate working with the authors on the quality.
My preference would be to see the communication for this done through
the submission system.
Those of you who are presenting a tutorial that would like to have an
independent review, let me know and I will set something up.
Those of you with a large number of tutorials to review (Jeff, David,
Peter) let me know and I will work with you to find someone to help you
out if you would like.
Thanks,
Scott
