| Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Time Sensitive: EclipseCon Submissions Promotions |
+1 seems like a good push for to have people submit talks earlier :)
Just one question: do these 5 winners automatically qualify for the conference?

PC,
Sorry for the urgency, hoping to have this debated with the group today so that we can go an implement ASAP if there is consensus.
What would you think about having a promotion for EclipseCon submissions that goes like this:
- Submit a talk by December 10th to be eligible.
- The program committee will pick 5 great talks from those submitted by December 10th , (we’ll do this via email on the 11th and over the weekend if necessary)
- We will announce those 5 great talks on December 14th
- A speaker from each of the chosen talks will get a cool piece of schwag – i.e., a polo shirt, sweater or the like.
I don’t think we’d call this a contest – just a way to encourage earlier submissions, and to show off how good the content is going to be (i.e., try to raise the bar for the hockey stick submitters)
- Don
