Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Sorry for the dropped call :)

Actually it is different from the last couple of years.  There was more lag time between when EclipseCon Europe ended, and when the call for submissions started/ended for EclipseCon NA.   Regardless, submissions always come in at the last possible moment.

Ya I saw Ian's post.   I agree people are distracted but it is not different from last year.   I just have a sense this year we are behind.   I wonder if we should try to do an early-bird selection to encourage people to submit before ECE?

Ian,

After I had posted my blog article and put a link to it on Google+,  Ian Bull made a comment that I think is hurting us with submissions.

The fact that you have EclipseCon Europe happening, and several presenters going there, they aren't even thinking about EclipseCon NA right now.   So if one of the Rock Stars isn't thinking about it, not sure much of the other community is as well.

I'm not too worried at the moment. I expect things to improve over the month of October but if we're still<  50 by then I'd be worried. From my experience we usually get over 50% of the submissions in the last week and with ECE in the way, we may end up even more than that.

I'll step up my promotion as the month progresses and hopefully that'll help. And as always, encourage your communities as much as you can.

Doug.

Sorry I am at JavaOne and could not make the call.  I am a bit concern by the
lack of submissions to date.  I think we need to start pushing our
communities to get submissions in.  It would be useful to have some
proposals from PC members. :-) Sent from my BlackBerry.

No worries. We're still early in the game and there wasn't a whole lot of
discussion. Hopefully we can pick things up here on the mailing list.

I was calling from home and my phone battery died. But I think we
were done anyway. I'll capture some of my thoughts about the
selection plan and get back to the list and we can debate it here.
D'oh! Sorry for missing the call. I was in my home office the whole
day with a sick kid. That's no excuse. I really totally forgot and
also didn't catch the reminder while playing with here. Sorry. Will
make sure to have a better reminder next time.

Hope I didn't miss a heat debate?
