Ian, I disagree,
but I also know that it is the program committee's decision, not mine.
They have to do the reviewing and decision making. What you and I
need, from an organizing and marketing point of view, is the acceptance
dates of Oct 1, Nov 15, and Dec 15. Those are the dates that we need
the content (keynotes, tutorials, and presentations) to be chosen and
the full program on the website. Given our technical solution this year
(Eclipsezilla), the "acceptance date" and "full program on website
date" are the exact same day.
If I
remembered correctly we had the
program published before Christmas, I think Dec. 15th.
Also, I
think we received close to 50% of the submissions on the deadline
date. From a
marketing point of view, we need keynotes finalized by October 15,
tutorials
available for registration by Nov. 15 and full program on the web site
by Dec. 15.
This would be the ideal.
Bjorn, I
think you need to be clear on the
deadline for submissions. This is the important date for the call for
submissions. When things actually get accepted or rejected is
secondary.
