Perhaps we could look at sessions that will almost certainly have a strong demand and/or a lot of interactivity and try to put them in the theater?

Thanks, Doug.
Bjorn and I, having given it some more thought, believe we should try to stick to having panels in the panel slots (and not reallocating to Long Talks). This is due to the fact that it’s a theater space (better for panels than talks), and that we probably have enough interesting panels to fill them (e.g. Technology had 3 submissions that all seem reasonable).
Thoughts on this? Also, are there talks you think might make a good panel?
Best,
Rich

Hey gang,
I’ve had no submissions for the C++ Panel. I can’t think of an obvious one that would have immense value at this point other than multi-language but we are planning on doing that with the Tools panel. I’d like to offer it back to the pool unless someone in the committee can think of a good reason not to.

Hi All,
It would be great to wrap up the majority of selections before the holidays, so if you’re certain about those you’d like to mark as ACCEPTED and DECLINED, now’s the time. As mentioned before, this should make it much easier to decide on reallocations.
Don’t forget to about the declines (as tough as it may be), though leave your hopefuls set to NEW in case you receive more slots.
Here’s where we’re at (allocated/accepted/submitted/declined):
Track Long Talk Panel Comment
Business 4/0/17/0 1/0/1/0
C++ 2/2/5/3 1/0/0/0 Talks set
Data 3/3/3/0 1/1/1/0 A perfect score! ;)
Fundamentals 4/0/15/0 0/0/1/0 A panel in need of a slot
Industry 2/0/3/0 1/0/1/0
Java 4/0/11/0 1/0/2/0
Mashup 2/0/8/0 1/0/1/0
Mobile 5/4/6/0 1/0/1/0 Almost set
Modeling 5/0/13/0 1/0/1/0 Ready to ACCEPT, discussion posted
OSGi 2/0/15/0 1/0/2/0
Reporting 5/0/10/0 1/0/0/0 Ready to ACCEPT, discussion posted
RCP 4/0/21/0 1/0/0/0
SOA 2/0/5/0 1/0/1/0
Technology 6/6/25/19 1/0/3/0 Just need panel decision
Test 4/4/12/8 1/0/1/0 Just need panel decision
Tools 4/0/7/0 1/0/0/0
Web 5/4/16/1 1/1/2/0 Almost set
Recall there are 3 extra slots, and that we should be considering the overall program (more PC votes on “foreign” tracks would be great!).
Thanks!
