| [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Scheduling done - please take a look ASAP |
|
Hi PC, I’ve finished scheduling the accepted talks. Most of
this was done before the holidays, but I had a few more things to wrap up.
The process I followed is below in case you’re interested. There isn’t a lot of time to make major changes, but I
need each category lead to review the ordering of your talks to make
sure I didn’t make any mistakes in order or speaker overlap (hit the swap
button to see speakers). If you want to reorder anything, I need to hear before
this coming Monday. You can view (but not edit) the schedule here: https://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/schedulingtool/ The username/pw is the same one you use for the submission
system. Doug Tutorials Group categories as much as possible, avoid speaker overlap,
and use recommended ordering from category leads. Longs/Shorts Optimize for: ·
no speaker overlap ·
no category talk overlap ·
minimal repeat category parallelism (e.g.
Eclipse and OSGi talks aren’t always in parallel) ·
even distribution of categories over the three
days ·
specific talk ordering as recommended by
category leads ·
panels in the theatre I generated the breakdown in Excel for longs/shorts to
figure out grouping. Then I went to the online tool and dropped things
into place. I reordered based on my best guess at room size needs.
I also looked for speaker overlap and side-by-side speakers on shorts. I
may have missed something between long and shorts, although because I
didn’t allow category overlap and I checked Philippe closely, I probably
haven’t missed very many. |
