(Doggone it, submitted to bit.listserv first. Sorry.)
Now that SHARE in Seattle is done, we have a whopping six to seven
weeks to produce the schedule for SHARE 107 in Baltimore this summer.
That means having session titles to allocate rooms for and a commitment
from speakers to have the session ready for SHARE, not have the session
ready today.
As the scheduler for the MVSE (BCP) Project, a lot of the initial grunt
work falls to me, especially the all-important "how many sessions do we
have"? Note that $SESSIONCOUNT may not exceed $ROOMCOUNT for initial
allocation; or, at least, not and keep our ability to control the
scheduling of the session(s). So sessions that come in late are
limited in flexibility for day, time and location.
SO, a couple of questions. Three, actually. #4 doesn't count.
1. What would you like to see presented at SHARE 107? What's
important to you? We have some well known, top-notch speakers who are
willing to present on many topics.
2. What would -you- like to present? Are you going to be in Baltimore
and maybe have a 10-15 minute topic you'd like to present at a
lunchtime working session? Michael Cleary did an abbreviated session
on DAF a few SHARE's ago that was terrific.
3. Is there somebody local to the Baltimore/DC area that owns,
develops for, or otherwise plays with a commercial or free tool you'd
like to see present? Fish came to Seattle and co-presented with Jay on
a Hercules session. I'll be happy to contact the person and solicit a
presentation.
4. Tell me what I can do with the scheduling to ease the pain.
Titles, abstracts and scheduling are our domain. Note that, in some
cases, little can be done to put all our favorite sessions at 9.30 AM
each day and not overlap anything good.
Responses can go to this list (with Darren's indulgence) and/or be sent
to steve at conwaysplace dot net.
Cheers,,,Steve
