Just some thoughts on things to include in the call for papers and
discussion with speakers:
- related dev rooms: in the RTC devroom, many people already know what
the speaker is going to present. Some speakers may be able to raise the
profile of their project a lot more by going into another devroom, e.g.
somebody doing WebRTC stuff may want to apply to the Mozilla devroom
too. We should encourage all speakers to apply for a lightning talk and
consider main track (deadline 31 October) as well.
- time slots: lets not ask people to choose if they want a 30 minute or
60 minute slot, lets just tell them that they should anticipate 20-25
minute slots and if we have any spare space in the schedule we may offer
it to somebody
- blogs - why not ask them to write a blog about the topic they want to
talk about or give us a link to a blog they already wrote and ask them
if they would like to be included on the planet sites?
Personally, I feel it would be really good if we can give a slot to
everybody who is making an active contribution in this field and this
may mean lots of short talks, between 20-30 minutes, but I would be
interested to hear how other people feel about this.
Regards,
Daniel
