Re: [guadec-list] Guadec 2006 Sample Schedule

[David Neary <dneary free fr>]

Hi Ludovic,

While I appreciate the effort you've ut into this, I'm not keen on 
volumteering people to give talks, and there are some omissions from the 
plan.

In addition, 3 tracks = 3 talks at any one time (outside keynote/plenary 
sessions) - the attempts in previous years to reserve certains days for 
a particular audience got mixed reviews (at best).

I think the talks you've proposed could serve as a guideline for the 
type of talks which would be suited to each track, but we shouldn't 
oblige Federico or Miguel to give talks just because we think that would 
fit into a particular theme.

In addition, please remember that typically 25 - 30% of talk slots will 
be filled by representatives of sponsors, or invitees - it'd be nice to 
figure that into the planning process this year, since to my mind the 
late addition of sponsor slots and late confirmation of invitees has 
been the number one root cause of the 4 parallel track syndrome we've 
suffered previously.

It might also be nice, given that we're in Fluendo's home town, to 
factor in a follow-on to their successful and popular multimedia track 
from last year (Uraeus added as CC to get his opinion on this).

Cheers,
Dave.
