Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] SOA Track
|
Hi all,
like Jonas I don't like the idea of a special treatment for talks
disguised as tutorials. The Modeling symposium is there because of its
history but actually this is cheating on the talk selection process,
too.
So my vote is -1.
Let's give them enough room for an extended BOF.

Quoting "Campo, Christian" <Christian.Campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hi Program Committee,
here is a summary of some conversation that went on in the past week
between some of the SOA PMC (Marc Gille) and me and Ralph and Anne.
If you look at the submission
http://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2012/sessions/soa-track-mutiple-sessions it
has only a small abstract but a pretty long PDF attached to it.
Its submitted as a tutorial but only because as a tutorial because
that has the length that the SOA people like to have. They had some
early conversation with Mike and Ralph that led to this submission.
They also sent an email to Ralph and myself once the submission was
in.
Given that we have a total of 13 tutorial submissions and 5 slots I
saw little chance that this will get anywhere given that its not
even a tutorial and tutorial are pretty popular. I asked Anne if
there is small room somewhere that we could give them in parallel to
the tutorials. We have the Seminarrooms (in the basement), both of
them, which are not taken during the tutorials. I also suggest to
them (as a alternative) to do a "SOA night" in parallel to the BoFs
where they could have 3 or 4 hours in one of the rooms.
At the same time I asked to estimate the number of people coming.
Their goal is to get 30 people to call it a success which is not
that much given the 600 attendee for the conference that we are
aiming at (hopefully we get there).
After these choices the SOA PMC decided that they would call off the
tutorial and their favorite choice would be to have a small room in
parallel to the tutorial. People who choose to the SOA track would
not be able to attend the tutorials (they are aware of this). We
would put the SOA sessions as regular submissions into the system (4
sessions) after the 31st of July and add a SOA track to the program.
They don't get speaker passes for this SOA track and need to do some
marketing to get people interested. Everyone can attend the SOA
track (its not a closed session but open to everyone)
So here is an action item for everyone in the PC. Are we all ok with
this ? Anyone fears that it would distract people from the tutorials
? Anyone feels that we shouldn't have this kind of special content ?
Strong feeling pro or con ? Questions ? Anything clear ?
Please vote +1 and -1 (and 0 if you must :) ). Raise concerns. Now
is a good time.
Thanks
Christian Campo
