[Fiware-technical-committee] FIWARE Summit programme?

[Alex Glikson]

Thanks for the clarification.
Even if we have enough rooms, having more than 2 parallel sessions might 
not necessarily be a good idea - unless we expect very large and diverse 
audience.
An idea: give that there seems to be no 'conference' track on day 2, maybe 
it will be enough to add the second (technical) track on day-2, 
distinguishing between 'basic' tutorials (track 1) and 'advanced' topics 
(track 2).
Let's discuss.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
  Yes, we should try to progress on this during our confcall tomorrow.   
Let's focus the call on that matter.
  Regarding the issue about number of talks, let me tell you that we will 
have plenty of rooms avaiable to setup some of them in parallel.   
Therefore, that is not a problem.
  We for sure will have an auditorium, which set up in "class room" style 
will be able to accomodate around 100 people.   This will be the one for 
the "Developers' primer" during the first day and would be available for 
the second and third day to host those talks we expect more audience 
for.   But there will be additional smaller rooms which may accomodate 35 
people or 15 (there are two kind of rooms).
  What I believe we need to decide/revise is:
What talks are relevant (i.e., we feel confident they may attract enough 
audience inside and outside the OS Community)
What talks are missing (I have the feeling that some chapters haven't 
contributed so much)
How we may organize them (how many parallel rooms we need, which talks we 
left for the auditorium and which ones for smaller rooms) in a way that 
doesn't collide with f2f chapter meetings
What rooms of what size we need for chapter f2f meetings, and when those 
meetings will take place so they can coexist with the parallel talks (I 
rather believe that if somone from a chapter gives a talk on a GE or 
relevant matter for that chapter, the rest of the chapter should attend).
  Let's discuss all this tomorrow.
  Cheers,

Can someone update on the status of the technical programme for the 
summit?
Based on the spreadsheets, it seems that we have proposals for roughly 13 
hours of talks, and roughly 5-6 hours of available time.
Also, it is difficult to find any correlation between the proposed talks 
in the "programme" spreadsheet and the talks already included on the 
"agenda" spreadsheet (tutorials?).
What is the process of finalizing the programme? Who is in charge?
I think we *have to* finalize it this week - ideally tomorrow. Otherwise 
people might not have enough time to secure their attendance (in some 
cases having a talk at the summit may enable people to get internal 
approvals to travel).

Regards,
Alex
