Dear all,
According to our discussion during the meeting yesterday, I have
revised the call for paper submission deadline as below:
- February 13 2011 : Deadline for submission of abstracts
- February 20 2011 : Notification of speakers
Knowing that we have a lot of concerns to approve travel subsidy
before getting enough sponsors.
I have discussed with Bharath, Lakhil and Fred, and would like to
suggest to have two rounds of notification:
1st Round Notification of Speakers: February 20 2011
2nd Round Notification of Speakers: March 6 2011
For the 1st round of notification, we will approve those GNOME
contributors we have been targeting for the hackfest i.e. GNOME
marketing, release, documentation teams, GNOME Shell developers,
etc. Since they are the key persons to the whole event, we should
notify them as soon as possible so they have enough time for
preparation.
For the 2nd round of notification, we can approve additional
speakers if there is enough budget from our sponsors. It will also
help to decide if we need a 2nd day of the conference as well. What
do you think?

It should give enough time for participants to get VISA, travel
subsidy if necessary and have their tickets booked. Please let me
know you are okay with it.

I have a small concern.
We are thinking for keeping 'deadline for sponsorship' for companies by
Feb 15, 2011. So when we notify speakers by Feb 13, 2011, we won't have
much idea about total sponsorship. Later when speakers apply for travel
subsidy, we may have to take decision based on the sponsorship what we
would have received. I hope it will be fair to assume that we may not be
able to sponsor all the notified speakers.
I proposed the date of deadline for call for papers before I
received the call for sponsors draft :-)
No problem, let's talk about how to synchronize the deadlines
for both call for paper and sponsors in the meeting today,
please feel free to propose a date during the meeting, thanks!
