Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] adding comments to declined talks

[Sven Efftinge <sven.efftinge@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Lars. In addition I think any constructive feedback should be given before the deadline (as we did in many cases) so

people get the chance to improve their abstracts accordingly.

Hi,

I personally would find that hard, as it was based on voting. So in lot of cases the reason would be "the average voting was to low". I personally also don't mind a "Sorry your talk have been rejected. We deeply regret it but we have to made some hard choices..." email.

Best regards, Lars

Hi all -- I meant to mention this earlier, but vacation and turkey took its toll on my brain.

For ECE this year, the PC left a comment on *every* declined talk to say why it was declined. The committee split up the work so everyone contributed, making it a manageable job.

The community really appreciated it. The idea is that we want people to continue to submit even if their talk was declined -- they can use the comments to improve the next submission.

We also told the declined submitters that if they wanted more specific information after reading the comments they could email us. I screened the emails and then forwarded them to the PC mailing list.

Are you guys game for this? Thanks.
