If I remembered correctly we had the
program published before Christmas, I think Dec. 15th. Also, I
think we received close to 50% of the submissions on the deadline date. From a
marketing point of view, we need keynotes finalized by October 15, tutorials
available for registration by Nov. 15 and full program on the web site by Dec. 15.
This would be the ideal.
Bjorn, I think you need to be clear on the
deadline for submissions. This is the important date for the call for
submissions. When things actually get accepted or rejected is secondary.

[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Changing the acceptancedates to Nov
15th and Dec 15th?
The way I've worded the web page is that Dec 15th is
when the submissions are accepted or declined, i.e., the decision date. It's not the drop-dead date
for submission to arrive. I've left the submission arrival date a bit vague -
perhaps you all would like a different wording on the submissions page?
(http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/CallForParticipation.do)
But what I'm asking you all if you would change is the decision date, not the submission date.
Dwight,
What was the decision date last year? If the submission date as T-90
days, was the decision date T-60 days? Or ??
For EclipseCon 2005, the conference was Feb 28-Mar 3
and the submission acceptance date was Dec 1st (90 days before the
conference). For 2006, the conference is Mar 20-23, so it would make
sense for the submission acceptance date to be Dec 15th to allow more time for
quality content to appear. Any comments on this?
Moving it to the Dec 15 leaves little time
before XMas for a review. It was already tough last year with the Dec 1 date.
I would keep it Dec 1.
