Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Early Bird

Pascal,

 

For the topic (theme) days, this PC is not picking those talks so it would not make much sense for you guys to include one in the early picks. The M2M and Polarsys working groups will be picking their respective talks and the vert.x project committers for the vert.x day.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet I created. Don't pass this around as it's a publicly accessible URL (albeit not listed anywhere).

 

 

After the meeting tomorrow I'll remove it.

 

Cheers,

Ian

Do you have in an excel sheet or something that recaps all the votes?

I'm really disappointed by the #5, OSGi spec updates.
If these early picks are here to get ppl excited, this is a major fail on
me :) Updates on a spec, we don't have anything better to feature? :)

I agree with you on the libreoffice thing that it would be better if this
was done by ppl from the community.

Are we deliberately trying to avoid the talks from the topics days? If so
why?
