Sure Kathleen. We haven't discussed it yet in detail, but imagine we'll
organize it similar to SotM US. Members of the program committee will each
individually evaluate all submissions according to criteria like relevance,
quality, newness to SotM, etc. Based on average and distribution of scores,
we'll generate a cut off for a short list -- though this will be flexible.
These get grouped into themes, and committee members discuss what gets added to
the final schedule.
That's the rough idea anyway. Any input on the process welcome. And if you or
anyone is interested in helping out in the SotM Working Group, let us know! *

Hi Mikel--
Can you tell us about the program selection process? How will talk proposals be
evaluated and selected?
Thanks!
Kathleen

Hi all,
I'm delighted to report that the planning for State of the Map 2016 is going
well. We have now opened the call for session proposals. You have until
Saturday 21st May to submit your idea.
Please see:
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/04/19/propose-your-session-to-state-of-the-map-2016/
We have also opened the scholarship programme. This has the same deadline so
don't hesitate. The option is there if you need it so don’t let the cost of
travel stand in your way!

Hope to see many of you in Brussels! :-)
Best regards,
Mikel
p.s. There are still sponsorship opportunities should your ourganization want
to support OSM via this route. If interested drop us a note. * Mikel Maron *
