Hey all, Hi,
Ivan can you please make an account in OSEM [1] and let me know your email so that I can give you the necessary access? From you experience, do you think it is necessary for me to join? I have no reason to interfere with the committee and if I'm not needed I would appreciate one tool less to monitor. At least for now... :-)
No, it is not necessary at all. In fact the program committee is one thing org teams can delegate to other members of the community that don't have to be locals (and possibly have more experience on the issue at hand). It is my opinion it is nice that every org team is informed about what is going on on all aspects of the conference, that includes the proposals received and the scheduling. If you have Ivan in the team, that covers it and you will also have access yourself in the admin panel of OSEM in case you want to check yourself what is going on at any point. Sounds good?
If you all agree, I will make sure everyone is added in cfp@opensuse.org mailing list, so that we can continue program discussions over there. IMO, this is required. I have to notify Karsten about us wanting a FSFE booth at oSC and his lecture. I suppose the committee would need to communicate with him about the topic, and cfp@opensuse.org would be a good communication channel, do you agree?
Firstly one clarification: Program Committee does *not* necessarily handle booths and keynote speakers. Last year for example both things were delegated to others. That said, I am personally ok with communicating about booths through cfp@. But I do think that a local person who has actually seen the venue is a better fit to do the allocation and set the maximum number of booths we can have. About Karsten: - If Karsten wants to do a talk, that talk must be submitted when cfp opens, through OSEM (no email necessary really). - If we are thinking keynote here, let's discuss the topic between us and then get in touch with him (maybe others outside of program committee care to input on the issue). Unless he has some proposals to do in terms of his keynote content. Which way are we going? And I would love to see some more input on keynotes from others, except for the program committee members.
And here's a brief description on what is going to happen in OSEM that relates to the program committee:
- In OSEM we will set up the types of *tracks* we want and the *types* of proposals we look for (talks, workshops etc) along with their duration.
- People will submit their proposal (choosing the type of proposal they wish to have, adding a brief description of their proposal and a short bio of themselves).
- We, the program committee, will distribute proposals into the appropriate tracks and vote on proposals (I hope this will be integrated in our instance of OSEM soon. Henne is it you whome I have to bother with this [2]?).
- There will probably be some irc meeting to make final decisions and accept or not proposals.
[For the evaluation of proposals, the options are to put a proposal under review, accept it without sending an email to the submitter, accept it with email sending to the submitter, reject it with or without email. All actions are reversible. I wouldn't worry much about changing the state of the proposals. During the irc meeting I can do the acceptances and rejections as we discuss. ]
- Then the accepted proposals must be put into a schedule.
Note: Submitted proposals are referred as 'Events' in OSEM.
If you are unclear on where to find each of those steps described, please drop an email here or ping me online to further explain, so that we get ready.
