| Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Talks per area |
I agree. The 10 talks per area is a guideline that we can adjust as we review the voting. The purpose of the guidelines is to make sure we have a critical mass of talks in certain areas so the conference is appealing to attendees. From: eclipsecon-na-program-committee-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:eclipsecon-na-program-committee-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Doug Schaefer From my experience last year, that comes out in the wash. Once you get all the votes in it'll be obvious where some categories are stronger and weaker. From: Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I was looking through the different categories and I wonder if we should reconsider the 10 talks per area. The DSL category only has 10 submissions and the Mobile category has 11. As it stands now, in the case of mobile we'll be accepting talks with a average rating of less than 3. Contrast that to Tools + WebDev where we have over 40 submissions. Talks with a 3.8 average rating are currently on the outside looking in. Should we rethink these groupings a bit? Cheers, Ian -- |
