| RE: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Straw-man late policy |

If we are going to keep the links
live over the weekend, I think we should just extend the date. I have no
problem moving the date to Monday since it seems like a lot of people would
come in on Monday and see the last day announcement and file their talks.
I am not wild for having a soft close
over the weekend. We know that there are going to be late talks,
and it is a lot easier to say the date is the date, then to explain the date
wasn’t the date for some, but it was the date for your talk that came in
Tuesday (if you follow my tortured logic). Closing the submissions is a
soft close as described. I look forward to the inevitable
free turkeys and lasers. sr From:

Behalf Of Donald Smith Today is the deadline for submissions. We’re
already at 322, and looks like 400 might be doable (350 for sure).
SCOTT – Correct me if I’m wrong, but we were at about 350 at the
deadline last year? This bodes VERY well. I’m
pumped to have hit 300. As for the inevitable late submissions that will come
in… Just throwing this out as a suggestion: -
We leave the submission system open over the weekend,
and not really punish submission that come in on the weekend (except maybe to
break ties if it’s a close call). -
We close down the links to the submission systems from
the eclipsecon website on Monday AM with a “Submissions closed, Register
now as an Attendee”, but leave the system open for deep links that find
it (i.e, from old emails – or us, the PC). Any late submissions
that come in will be met with a “You’re late, so we are not going
to give this same weight” policy. But, for a super-awesome talk,
the PC could decide to allow them in. -
Any talks that come in after Christmas are definite
“NO” without some sort of act-of-oisin and PC godlike maneuver, and
it had better come with lasers and free turkeys for all. -
