Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] early bird selectionprocess
|
Hey,
good point. I was going to talk about the selection and voting process on Monday and its good to start the discussion now......
The session proposals are in the Drupal system. There is a special link for the program committee (http://eclipsecon.org/europe2012/conference-admin/sessions) to do the voting in the system. That voting in the Drupal system was used for EclipseCon 2012 and it seemed to have worked ok. Ian Skerret proposed that we do it again for ECE 2012.
Last Year ECE 2011, Bernd decided to export the sessions into a CSV file and set up a Google Docs Spreadsheet. Everyone in the PC got access to the spreadsheet and added comments, votes etc. in there.
The advantage of Google docs in the flexibility. You can calculate with votes, calculate spread, mark sessions, add columns for comments and categories and tags etc. while you are on the telco as needed.
The disadvantage that we shouldn't underestimate is that you export ONCE and only ONCE and then once the whole selection process is finished. We need to bring the votes and the final comments back into the Drupal system. We don't bring internal comments back, but we MUST explain every rejected submission why it was rejected. Bringing back the data is a manual process and that is something where I would share the work among us. (as we did last year)
So the Drupal solution is less work for everyone, but also less flexibility. Google Docs means greater flexibility but less work. (and you see who is editing what live.....which I liked a lot)
I am personally leaning to using the Google Docs solution because I like the flexibility. But that's an open discussion.
If someone here has an opinion please raise it. Also the people from last year program committee could supply feedback on what they thought about the Google docs solution that we used.
If there are more questions, let me know
@Anne: Seems that the deadline 31.Juli is Tuesday. So I am proposing to reserve 6th, 13th, 20nd August as telco date with the same time as next week. Does that work for everyone ?

Betreff: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] early bird selection process
Hey!
Since I am new to this group here, I have no idea how the selection process for the early-bird talks looks like. Can someone shed some light on this for me? (just wanna be prepared for next Monday)
- Do we use the voting of the submission system for this?
- Or public or private comments?
Thanks for helping me out here!
Cheers,
-Martin
