In the last planning meeting for Freed2007 I had take the responsibility of checking out feasibility of having independent jury of experts - outside of committee planning Freed - to vet the list of submissions / talks to the conference. The rationale behind this system of papers / talks selection is to get wider topical coverage and involve more people for academia / profession in to the OSS movement.
The selection committee would be of three people who would go through all submissions and come up with short list of talks covering 75% of the time slots. They will work within the usual frame work of call for papers / last dates etc. Balance 25% of the time slots would be filled up by the organising committee based on criterion relevant to the community and not necessarily to do with programming, languages, etc. If I am not able to make any committee, simple procedure will be followed with the organising committee to make a short list at a meeting to be held post last date of submission. With this communication I am requesting all to send me suggestions of names of people you think fit the bill. I would then make a short list and contact these people to elicit their interest and co-operation. I need your inputs latest by end of this month. -- Regards, Sudev Barar _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
