Hi, 

Anne gave me some numbers:

Plan for this year:

- 12 tutorials
- 100 to 120 talks (including sponsored talks, regular talks, directors picks)

In 2015

- 10 tutorials

- 80 talks (including 3 sponsored)

Cheers,

Mikael

Hi guys

Hey Jay,

Martin, if I may, I'd like to address some of your concerns in the paragraphs below because they are really good points. We wanted a track instead of a day for the SWG because last year we spent all of Thursday in the science talks and missed many important talks from the rest of the community. We believe we will minimize this overlap if we spread it across the conference, which might also attract more people. It also gives us the opportunity to have more than six talks.

Regarding the hope for more than six talks, we should ask Mikael about the exact number of slots/talks that we will have at the conference. I am wondering if we are going back to the numbers of previous years (pre-2015) or to the same limited number of talks that we had 2015 (due to the co-location with FOSS4G). Mikael, can you shed some light on this?

The number of slots should increase compared to last year. I think we are going back to the pre-2015 numbers. Anne, Paul, you confirm?

We should also develop good criteria for the PC to judge the science proposals we receive. I don't think it is worth judging them on their scientific merit per se. This isn't a scientific conference. Instead, I think we should focus on things like novelty and relevance to the Eclipse Community as a whole (n.b. - community, not "platform"), among others. I am happy to create a draft minimal set of criteria and share it for further development, if you want.

That would indeed be interesting (at least to me). Just a few ideas or bullet points are fine, I don’t need to formal acceptance criteria catalog… ;-)

Yes, that would be very interesting. Something short will be just fine as Martin said. You can do it on the PC work document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zGW-3Y5lSrGd9vZAEHpH3sp1wci39FSLComoIFsUdz8/edit?usp=sharing) directly if you want.

Thanks.

Mikael
