Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Time Sensitive: EclipseCo

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My (quick) opinion is this would have
been a great idea if executed earlier. But, as it is ... just a weeks notice
seems a little short (almost unfair), and the deadline is only a week earlier.


But I'm not opposed if others think
it worth while. Definitely good idea for next year. 

Thanks.

PC, 
 
Sorry for the urgency, hoping to have this
debated with the group today so that we can go an implement ASAP if there
is consensus.
 
What would you think about having a promotion
for EclipseCon submissions that goes like this:
 
-          Submit
a talk by December 10th to be eligible.
-          The
program committee will pick 5 great talks from those submitted by December
10th , (we’ll do this via email on the 11th and
over the weekend if necessary)
-          We
will announce those 5 great talks on December 14th 
-          A speaker
from each of the chosen talks will get a cool piece of schwag – i.e.,
a polo shirt, sweater or the like.
 
I don’t think we’d call this a contest
– just a way to encourage earlier submissions, and to show off how good
the content is going to be (i.e., try to raise the bar for the hockey stick
submitters)
