Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] SOA Track update

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One further clarification request.  
You said
        "These
will be submissions that are currently neither ACCEPTED nor DECLINED -
the bubbles"
I thought you had to explicitly mark
something as a bubble and it meant "I'd really like to but have no
space".  The description above implies "you couldn't decide
and did nothing so it is a bubble".

On a related note, would it be feasible/reasonable
to have the pressing of the big button cause only ACCEPTED talk submitters
to be emailed?  At least at this point?  Under the model presented,
I would only mark as declined talks that were complete garbage (not many
of those around) since you never know what will happen with additional
space and people withdrawing.  Talks that are on the road to being
declined have to stay in a limbo land (perhaps as bubbles depending on
your asnwer to the above) and it is hard to distinguish between the ones
you have not looked at yet and the ones in this limbo state.  In short,
PC members are not able to express their intentions.

As a result, we will have a hard time
communicating with each other what we intend to do.  There are many
tracks that have cross cutting concerns and PC members should be encouraged
to look at what is happening in the other tracks to ensure the total conference
coverage is appropriate (not too many duplicates and nothing missing, ...)
 It would be interesting for me (for example) to be able to look at
the RCP track and find out that talk XXX is likely to be declined.  I
may agree, argue, offer up one of my track slots, ...

As it is now, we could mark our talks
decline for the purposes of Friday's discussion but then I would have to
go through and unset the "maybe decline" ones (and mark them
as bubble?) before the big button is pressed so decline messages are not
sent.  This would have to be done/contemplated each time the button
is going to be pressed.

Then again, perhaps I am the only one
who thinks this way...

Karl, (cc everyone on the PC)
Sorry I didn't explain my thought process fully here but yes, the PC *will*
be able to leave submissions in the NEW (unassigned) state after Doug presses
"Big Button". These will be submissions that are currently neither
ACCEPTED nor DECLINED - the bubbles.  Doug will tell us all a schedule
for his subsequent big button presses and each of those will send the additional
accept/decline emails as necessary.

PC members, 
So, yes, make the talks you definitely want (and fit in your allocation)
as tentative ACCEPTED (background turns green, the text shows "N D")
and those you definitely do not want as tentative DECLINE (background turns
grey, the text shows "A N").  Leave all the bubble submissions
as NEW (background white, shows "A D") and marked with the "bubble"
keyword.

- Bjorn
