The above provides good tips on enhancing your chances of getting a proposal 
selected but doesn't really address the core of the questions Maish was posing, 
which relate to the transparency of the selection process both in terms of the 
voting process and results publication (or more accurately lack thereof) and 
the subsequent impact of the track committees on the final selections (also 
unknown).

This is without endeavouring to also consider how realistic it is to pick out 
your preferred sessions from 1000+ submissions.
