Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] question about onsite BoF signups

No I don't have any experience of it being
a problem in the past. I suppose in the past there would simply be no more
blank sign up sheets available so nobody would have any way to schedule
too many BoFs. It sounds like you'll have something similar, where you
will have a list of all available rooms/times and the first person to fill
in their topic for any given room is the winner. This sounds fine, we'll
just need to somehow advertise how/when/where people can submit their on-site
BoF topics.

What do we do if more people request on-site BoFs than we have room for?
We'll have to pick the winning topics or suggest topics be merged I suppose.

For the onsite-scheduled BoFs, it's first-come, first-served.


Have you gotten feedback from people disappointed that
they wanted to do a BoF but couldn't get a room? I haven't, but sometimes
this information doesn't get back to me. I've never seen a comment about
this in an attendee survey.

Thanks,
Anne

Hi all, 

We are trying to streamline the onsite BoF signup process. My idea is to
have the onsite BoF organizers sign up to reserve a room/time, but not
have any sort of signup for the BoF attendees. 

Do you think this will be OK? 

The pre-scheduled BoFs are in the larger rooms, with the theory that those
will be more heavily attended, so space for those should not be an issue.

There are six BoF rooms, and they hold 96, 60, 60, 24, 15, 15 (classroom
setup). 

Please advise! Thanks.
