Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] the votes and the stars

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And just one more note (or reminder). Historically, no PC member can veto / guarantee a talk. While you can vote 5star, and argue your point, in the end Martin has the final decision.  

Please keep this in mind and don't 'promise' anyone an accepted talk (except for invited talks of course).

Cheers,

Ian

Yes, I use the following

5: Absolute Accept (for me)

4: Should be in the program

3: Ok

2: Probably reject

1: Absolute Reject (for me)

0: No vote (either no vote yet, or really no opinion -- although try to vote on most of the talks).

I try not to look at other votes when I'm choosing. I think it's good if everyone gave their own vote, not influenced by others.

Once we've all done this we'll likely find a natural boundary (talks above a certain value will be accepted). After this the fun begins :-). We can look for talks that some PC members thought should be rejected but are in, or talks that other members gave a 5 star that are currently out. Moving around these talks will be the purpose of our meetings later this month.

Does this help?

Hey!

As we are starting to vote on the sessions for EclipseCon NA 2015 using the submission system (and some of you already began, which is great), I would like to coordinate the votes a little bit, especially the meaning of the 0-5 star votes - just to make sure that we are all on the same page.

Ian (B.) could you explain the meaning of the stars that you used last time (and I guess you used already for your votes on next years session)? I guess it is something around 5-star means “must have in the program”, and 1 star means “definitely reject”, with zero stars “not voted on”, but it would be great to reach some kind of common sense about this.

Thanks!!!

Cheers,
