[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Choosing your talks

[Oisin Hurley <oisin.hurley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
With our tag-based system of marking submissions, there's some
fuzziness as to how you should review. Here's some guidelines.

1. You should have already signed up for a tag on the following
Doodle page. Note that the OSGi tag is being reviewed by the
OSGi DevCon committee, chaired by Peter.

2. Get a list of all the talks that have your tag thereupon by entering
a search  expression

   talktag~'mytag'

into the submission system search.

3.  Other people have signed up for the same tag as you, most
likely.  Collude with them to split up the work. We need to work
as mini-teams and come back with recommendations for a
particular tag. Here's the people and the tags:

[Dave = D. Carver; David = D. Williams]

Those names I have marked with ** are hereby nominated to
be the individual representatives of those tag teams to the PC
for communications.

Notes:
 *  Scott! I've assigned you to the Reporting tag. Anything
    else you want to look at?
 *  Wayne, Chris, Ketan - you have 3 **s each above, if that is
    too many, then we can shift them around I am sure
 *

4. Once you have your review team, a suggested modus operandi
would be to
   a)  check to see if the talk is relevant to the tag, and if
        not remove the tag, leaving a public comment on the talk

   b)  email the PC list with the talks that you have detagged

   c)  Rank the talks per talk type, in order of preference of
        acceptance.

   d)  Communicate the preference to the PC list

I like the way that Top 5 PC Pick worked out in terms of expressing
preferences - that approach might work for some of the tag teams
- i.e. do the search, export as csv, upload csv to google spreadsheet,
work on that for ranking.

Note:  make sure you mark late-comers.

5. We will have a call on Wednesday as per usual. It would be a
very good plan to get in and do a heap of reviewing before then,
to give us a good start.

 Any questions?
