Hey, Linked Data folks, I need some last minute help.

There are 9 talks marked Accept, 4 talks marked Average.
Personally I'm fine with the result of the evaluation, accepting those
9. Maybe putting in the proposal "Enterprise Integration Patterns in
Apache Stanbol", because I personally know there is much more stuff than
what the proposal describes. Besides we already talked with one of the
guys with two talks (one accepted, one rejected) to maybe merge both
proposals into one talk.
So that would mean 10 talks, booking 2 slots for the panel discussions,
if you still think is a good idea (read bellow).
What the decisions has to be taken? Because I think Andy is on vacations
for some days.
I can run 12 talks, or I can run 6 talks, but I need your help selecting
which ones. I had some questions out to Sergio on Friday, but haven't
heard back, and any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, I missed that email.
Well, without knowing the general layout, we sketched a full day track
http://s.apache.org/4P5 with 9 slots (mixing short and long ones), plus
a final discussion panel.
This looks reasonable assuming some talks are happy to work within the
shortened slots.
The only problem I have is whether this prevents people with a passing
interest from attending talks easily because they will potentially not
line up nicely with the rest of the schedule and thus may reduce the
potential attendees for some talks. And therefore you miss out on the key
benefit of ApacheCon of attracting attendees with a wider range of
backgrounds and gaining new participants from outside the wider community.
If we want to align the schedule with the rest of the conference then we
need to consider cutting three talks
Therefore I would suggest the following possible alterations (numbers
refer to rows in the spreadsheet as of now):
- Combine Talks 6 & 8 (both which are covering different aspects of the
same project)
- Combine Talks 2 & 3 (since talk 3 describes a project that currently is
only used in the project described in talk 2)
This would give the following talks:
- Lizard - Clustering a RDF Store + Engineering RDF data formats for
system tasks
- Quadrupling your Elephants - RDF and the Hadoop Ecosystem
- Open Annotation support for Apache Stanbol
- Managed Linked Media with Apache Marmotta + Apache Marmotta, an Open
Platform for Linked Data
- Multi Language Content Discovery Through Entity Driven Search
- Towards a Commons RDF library (Panel Discussion)
That gives you just 6 sessions allowing for scheduling a standard 6
session track over a single day
Sergio - Would you and Thomas be willing to combine your talks (or does
Thomas's talk subsume yours anyway?)
Andy - Would you be willing to combine your talks?
(catching after being offline ...)
They don't really combine - the decision to drop the "engineering" one
and keep the "Lizard" one is the right decision IMO.
Thanks
Andy
