Title: Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] how to handle13proposals on a 4 slot allocation ?..

Great suggestions to the extra slots Rich. +1.

 

I am going to convert some talks into a panel in the business track.  I.e., there are a couple of IP related talks, and I have buy-in from the speakers that we create a panel instead, which I think will be better serving of the attendees.

 

Just a note - converting a panel to a long talk means giving away another pass to EclipseCon (panels don't have free passes).  Are the finances OK with converting panels to talks?

          5/17 
      1/2    Recipient of

We have 3 
extra Long Talk slots, which I propose are distributed as indicated above. 
 Otherwise, I believe we can do some adjustments among the tracks to better 
distribute slots where needed, based on need and interest.

Please reply 
with your changes, donations, or other ideas on how we can create a balanced 
program.

Thanks,
Rich

In a similar position in WTP with around 20 submissions for 5 slots. I suspect we will rule out talks with commercial content as a first cut, though I have not discussed that with my PMC yet. Beyond that, we will look for a balance of broad vs narrow, tools vs frameworks, and current vs new technology.
 
The only other option might be including an additional room/track to increase the number of slots available.

If it's any consolation, I have 15 business submissions for 4 slots, most of which are quite excellent.  I would advise trying hard to get the community to help you choose.

Folks,

For the Test&Perf long talk track we have 13 proposals and only 4 slots allocated.
The plan is to group all proposals in such a way that there will be one proposal for the following topics : Test. Trace, Code Analysis, Monitoring

This simple plan seems to be very hard to execute. It is almost impossible to squeeze 13 proposals under 4, especially since the presenters represent different groups. I did an initial attempt to reduce the number by adding a comment on the eclipsezilla track with the regrouping proposal. The result is an overflowing set of notes I am receiving from the presenters which clearly are not too happy with the proposal

Does anybody have a similar experience and a better approach that can be shared?

Is any other track having unused sits that can be donated to the Test&Perf section ?


Thank you,
