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

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, Oisin (and others) ... I just
some how assumed we would not be meeting on 23rd and I went and made other
plans (sort of like I'm trying to be on vacation :). 
What about the 30th? 

But, I did set up my queries, to make
sure I can do that much ... and will be reviewing (while on vacation :)
... and in future will try and read the whole length of your emails earlier
than night before :) 

This is what I (currently) counted:


JavaEE: 41
web services: 21
xml tools: 18
Languages: 41
Tools: 154

I see "Tools" as being the
problem case ... seems many people tacked that on to many talks (nearly
all we do is Tools, right?) and very few were only "Tools", so
plenty of opportunity for "cross review" there. 
If anyone sees one of those in your
category and think it really strongly belongs in your category (tag), I
assume the right thing to do is remove it from "Tools"? right?

Let me further express my ignorance
... were there any definitions of these tags given? Or just sort of left
up to the submitter to define from common meanings? (not sure it matters,

just wondering if there's a "criteria"
for us (re)moving tags?)  

Much thanks (and apologies for missing
yet another meeting).

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.

http://www.doodle.com/xin4yx3tshy5usvm

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]

Build and Continuous Integration:
    Wayne, Oisin, Chris, **Dave, Ketan

Business and Industry
     **Oisin, Bernd, Chris, Ketan

CDT
     **Doug

Committer and Contributor
     Oisin, Wayne, Bernd, **Chris, Dave, Ketan

Communication Docs/Education
     Oisin, **Wayne, Chris, Dave, Ketan

Data Tooling
     <insert cricket noises/>

e4
     **Wayne, Chris, Ketan

      Oisin, **Wayne, Bernd, Chris

      Wayne, **Bernd, Chris

JavaEE
       **David, Bernd

Languages
       Oisin, David, Bernd, Doug, **Ketan

Mobile and Embedded
        **Doug

Modeling
        **Bernd  (busy guy!)

OSGi
        The OSGi DevCon Committee

Reporting
        I'm volunteering **Scott!

Runtime
        Oisin, Wayne, Bernd, **Chris

SOA
       **Oisin

Test and Performance
       **Ketan

Tools
        Oisin, David, Chris, **Ketan

UI/RCP
        Wayne, **Chris

Web Services
        Oisin, **David

XML Tools
        Oisin, David, **Dave

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?
