Thanks Steve and Pablo for the feedback. Regarding the system of rating proposals: this is similar to what we used last year, however last year we also had "strongly accept" and "strongly reject" options which in my personal opinion were helpful for determining the best-of-the-best. As a speaker subcommittee, we decided to simplify the review process this time around by offering only three options. We may reconsider this for next year.
Regarding the selection process: the MesosCon program committee will ultimately determine the event programs -- a list of those who are members is available here: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/mesoscon/program/programcommittee. Program committee members will be completing the same review process as everyone else in the community, and we plan to use the feedback we receive as signals for what to select for the program, and inform tracks for the event. So far we have over 40 reviews for each of the themes we've shared, and while the system for feedback may not be perfect there are already some clear signals in the data about what folks want to hear and what they'd like to pass on. We'll do our best to be transparent about the process moving forward, and have a strong feedback loop with the community to ensure that your voice and opinions are given weight in the decisions of the program committee. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask on-list. I think having these discussions in the open is helpful, and also keeps us (the program committee) accountable to the community.
