Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] early bird selectionprocess

Hi all,

I'd prefer the flexibility of a Google spreadsheet. It worked great last year, and the burden of writing rejection notes is not that much in the typing ;-) Sorting and filtering made it possible to focus on the relevant topics.

If I remember correctly Bernd did an initial version of the spreadsheet and applied at least one major update when the final deadline was over. I assume he did a lot of work behind the scenes to keep the document alive.

Early bird selection: We should only choose from standard talks to avoid the problem from last year where we filled 2 of 5 tutorial slots with early birds. Last year everyone from the PC send his favorites to the list, they where ordered by number of entries and then discussed (and selected). I think that worked pretty well.

Dates: I'll be on vacation until August 19. I may be able to attend a telco during this period but this pretty much depends on weather, phone/internet availability and bribing my family ;-)

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.

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)
