Hi PC – members,
           
          Anne just reminded me that we agreed on a
            telco for the early bird selection.  (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AooKAg0m5oPjdDhLamg3d2RjZ1RkV2RjcHhyd01EZlE#gid=0)
           
           
          Early Bird means (for those new to this)
            that we pick in total 5 talks that we accept early on and
            use it to do marketing on the conference.
           
          I suggest that the OSGi DevCon picks ONE
            early bird and the Eclipse-side of the PC pick 4 early bird
            talks.
           
          I browsed the already submitted talks and
            we have great submissions. So for the early birds we also
            look for great, cool talks. Talks that we can talk about in
            an email and that attracts people to become part of the
            conference.
           
          So nothing like „whats new in Riena 5“ (I
            am picking on myself just to give an example). In my opinion
            they dont have to sound crazy but they should be easy to
            understand, attractive to many. (its always a gamble. I
            remember a very spectacular early bird failed misserably in
            the session last year)
           
          Please until 1.August 13:00 European
            Time, EACH PC member pick FOUR items from the session list (http://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2013/program/sessions/submissions).
            Dont pick anything from the OSGi track though. The OSGi
            folks should do the same for the OSGi track and pick ONE
            session.
           
          The telco should be fairly quick. The
            only content is bargaining about what we pick :-)
           
          Its good practice to NOT pick yourself
            :-). (even if your submission is the greatest)
           
          Thanks
          Christian
           
          p.s. I switched on the important flag, to
            get everyone’s attention :-)
