[Workshops] Workshop evaluation process

[Mark Leslie]

Greetings all,
I promised a quick overview of the process we will be running through 
for workshop and tutorial submissions, so here it is.

After the call closes (tonight for me) I will be munching through all 
the submissions and producing two pdf docs, one for workshops one for 
tutorials.  These will be made available for people to review, likely by 
posting them here.  What I will need is everybody to send me a list of 
their favorite 10 workshops (or fewer), in order of preference, and 
their favorite 12 tutorials (or fewer).  If there are workshops that you 
would really like to see run as tutorials, make a write-in vote and we 
can pester them to change formats if needed.  These should be sent to me 
(mrk.leslie at gmail.com use "FOSS4G Workshop Review" as the subject 
please), not to a public list.

I will then to one of two things.  I can create a private list if there 
are sufficient people reviewing (only two have answered by call thus 
far) and we can move discussion to that, or I'll just email everyone 
directly.  I will aggregate the votes and tell everyone the results 
identifying clear winners and which selections need to be fought for. 
I'm not going to impose any 'conflict of interest' restrictions here, 
you may vote for your own, but please flag it as your own during voting 
and discussions.

The final decision on the recommendation rests with me, which I will 
make from the discussion in a week or so.  This recommendation will be 
passed to the OC and they will make adjustments as they require.
