Including the time is also good, but has exposed a 'feature' - we have tutorials that are 120 min, but also some that are 180 min. Now that the time is shown, tutorials will all show as 120, which might confuse some. Best solution is to make another talk type that is 180, f'rinstance an 'Extended Tutorial'. I'll go in and do that. > I am am working on this one.  I was also working on a feature to allow the > author to ask for some extra time for their talk.  Is this feature to > replace the extra time or in addition to it? I guess they are pretty much one and the same thing - the 'extra time' above and beyond the standard talk slot is what mutates it into the Extended area. Unless there is some other rationale that I've missed of course! > They now have to select at least one tag before they can submit their talk. Cool. The PC will nudge submitters to add tags to the talks if necessary. thanks! --oh ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:31:23 GMT http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee/msg02017.html oisin.hurley@xxxxxxx (Oisin Hurley) [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Re: [Submission System] Some feedback and update requests http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee/msg02016.html I have opened a CQ for the ckeditor.

Hi Gabe,
A few things from todays PC call.

 1. Dave Carver and Doug Gaff are liking ckeditor to give our submission
pages a bit of polish.  http://ckeditor.com/

http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide/Integration
I have opened a CQ for the ckeditor. I have not attached the code yet as I need to review how much I need. Should have that done soon.

 2.  When you are reading a submission, the text of the talk type, theme
and tags are a little confusing to read (I think - see the attachment for
a screenshot). My suggestion here would be make a small change -

Where you see

Extended Making for Eclipse

change to be

Making for Eclipse - Extended Talk

general form being

<theme> - <talk type> Talk

The tags are concatenated and make it a bit illegible. Where you see

Committer And Contributor Java Test And Performance

it would be better to read as

Tags: Committer And Contributor / Java / Test And Performance

and change it from bold-faced to either plain face or italics (I think it
takes over a bit).

This is done. Check out this example:
https://www.eclipsecon.org/submissions/2010/view_talk.php?id=1077

 3. This one is an enhancement and may be more tricky. If someone
selects "Extended" as their talk type, then we present another form
entitled "We have a limited number of Extended talks available, so
each Extended talk application is scrutinized by the Program Committee.
Please provide some reasons why you believe that this talk should be
granted 'Extended' status." Then there is a place to insert some text.
When the submitter saves, then this text is saved as a 'private' comment
to the PC.


I am am working on this one. I was also working on a feature to allow the author to ask for some extra time for their talk. Is this feature to replace the extra time or in addition to it?

 4. Is it possible to make tagging mandatory? That is, there must be
at least one tag before the thing can be officially submitted. Does this
make sense?

They now have to select at least one tag before they can submit their talk.

I think this is a great policy to continue.

 

They key message for the program committee is that, when appropriate, make sure speakers understand this.  If we’re going to have a lot more 25 minute talks this year, then the risk is there’s a lot more speakers get concerned when they don’t get a free full pass.

Last year it was 2% discount per minute of presentation maxing out at 100% per hour. 10 minute talk = 20%. 2 talks at 15 minutes each = 60%. two hour talk = 2 x 100% discount.

FYI, I took a stab at describing the policy towards speaker passes – we’ll put a link to this in the submission system so that people have grounded expectations when they submit their talks.

Please let me know if you have broad comments – if you have minor tweaks I would just point out that it’s a wiki ;)
