Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Short talk questions

[Bjorn Freeman-Benson <bjorn.freeman-benson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent questions.

• The short talks are scheduled on Tuesday at 4:15-5:00 (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Table.do?id=all&date=2006-3-21), Wednesday 4:15-5:00 (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Table.do?id=ALL&date=2006-3-22), and Thursday 13:00-14:00 (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Table.do?id=ALL&date=2006-3-23).
• There are 5 parallel sessions each day and 5 9-minute talks each session on Tuesday and Wednesday and 6 on Thursday for a total of 5*5 + 5*5 + 5*6 = 80 sessions.
• There will be a moderator - this doesn't work without a moderator because people will talk and talk and talk.
• The order will be published on the eclipsecon.org (because the talks will be published on the EclipseCon website just like the other content).

Tim & Bjorn,

I have some questions about short talks:

1. How many short-talk blocks are there exactly?

2. When are they scheduled and how do they overlap?

3. How many short talks go in a block?

4. Will there be a moderator/introducer/etc. needed for these blocks (if not, how will presenters know which order they should put themselves in)?
