Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Toward the CfP
|
Hey!
track and theme days seem fine to me.
> Community Voting
>
> Some really interesting discussions about it. Thanks! First, I think we all agree that offering the community to speak up about the submissions is a good thing. But we seem to not reach consensus on how to do it. So here is what I propose:
>
> - The results will be solely indicative for the committee. The PC will choose the program, with or without taking into account the voting. We will need to be very clear about that fact in advance to avoid ambiguous situations like on OpenStack (see this mail thread for details http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/community/2015-August/001261.html).
> - For the early birds selection, we give the external submission system a try. We open it right after the end of the early-birds submission deadline for some days and do our selection after that.
> - Depending on the popularity of this vote, we either reiterate the external system for the full program or we use the comment system on the website. I would consider the external voting system a success if we have more voters than we have talks submitted for the early-birds (e.g., if we have 20 talks, we would need 20+ voters to consider it a success).
> - If we reuse the external system, we open it after the end of CfP.
> - If we use the comment system, we will call for comments right after the early bird selection.

I am not sure I understand all this, seems to be rather complicated to me. Why not have the system open for community votes all the time (at that’s it)?
Cheers,
