| Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Long Talks |
Yes Gunnar is right. Only because they put in multiple talks. Feel free to drop those. I'll Ping you in about an hour.
I think this is because there were multiple submissions for each topic and we only accepted one. Ian B. mentioned previously that those are candidates for long slots. However, I think the four listed below aren’t good candidates for long talks. I would pick talks that are exceptional interesting.Another side node, I thought the Modeling Symposium was already set. Thus, reducing the slots to 9. Am I wrong on this one?FWIW, browsing through at the accepted sessions, sorted by avg. rating, here are some picks:- The Road to Lambda- API Design in Java 8- _javascript_: Don't Believe the Type!- An Introduction to DockerI know it does sound really self-fish …. but I’d like to offer this one too:- Unshackling Mylyn from the desktop-GunnarAm 06.12.2013 um 11:15 schrieb Ian Skerrett <ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx>:_______________________________________________Fwiw, I am doing the schedule today so I need any recommendations today. We actually have only 10 slots for long talks since M2M and Vert.x will each get one.There are four talks with the long_talk tag that I was a bit surprised:These didn’t pop out to me as being a long talk so I am interested in understanding why they were tagged? FWIW, two of the talks are from Foundation employees and I usually try not to have Foundation employees taking the prime spots.From: eclipsecon-na-program-committee-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:eclipsecon-na-program-committee-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Bull

Subject: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Long TalksThe regular speaking slot at EclipseCon is 35 minutes. However, we have 12 'long slots'. These are actually 1 hour slots, although I would expect people to talk for 45 minutes and leave 10 minutes for questions.I've been going through the program and identifying speakers that could make good use of the extra time. Good candidates include interesting subjects, or speakers who submitted several talks on the same subject, but we only accepted one. Since we have 6 long talks each day -- and they happen in parallel -- we should need to ensure that they span different tracks and are not all given by 'rockstar speakers' (I really didn't want to use that term).Go through the program and let me know if you see any talks that should be 'long'.Finally, the crew from Docker has promised me an abstract tomorrow. The docker talk will be given by Nick Stinemates.Cheers,Ian--
