Call for Proposals Notes
regcfp RFEs for CFP:
- We need a new field for CFP submission. The field should allow
session proposers to indicate "Who needs to be present in this session for it to be successful?" User needs to include name or FAS ID in regcfp UI. A multi-value field for this to allow for multiple people to be indicated in the answer is desirable. It would also be nice for the field to allow freeform name entry and FAS id lookup.
- We need a new CFP submission field to ask proposers to indicate how
much time they would like for their session. puiterwijk suggested using the tracks system for this. A number of durations should be available to be selected from. (What durations? Multiple of a common unit?) (Maybe there should be an unsure option?)
My gut feeling after the session yesterday was: 60, 120, 240
I think it should be different for the level-setting talks, the "do" sessions and the report-outs.
My suggestions:
* Talks on Day 1 may have either 30 or 60 minute slots
* "do" sessions cannot be successful at shorter than 120 minutes (from past experience). The first hour of any workshop always involves getting everyone up and running.
* All approved sessions for days two and three have a mandatory 15-minute summary presentation on Day Four. These should be in the Keynote room and broadcast to overflow rooms as needed. No other sessions should be scheduled in conflict with them.
