EuroPython 2020: Talk voting is open

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Talk voting is your chance to tell us what you’d like to see at
EuroPython 2020. We will leave talk voting open until:

		    Sunday, April 26 23:59:59 CEST

In order to vote, please log in to the website and then navigate to
the talk voting page:


		   * EuroPython 2020 Talk Voting *

How talk voting works
---------------------

The talk voting page lists all submitted proposals, including talks,
helpdesks and posters. The proposals are sorted in random order.

In order to vote, have a look at the title/abstract and then indicate
your personal interest in attending this session. We have simplified
the voting process and you may choose between these four options:

- must see
- want to see
- maybe
- not interested

The talks you haven’t voted for are marked “No vote”. Your votes are
automatically saved to the backend without the need to click on a save
or submit button.

Who can participate?
--------------------

Any registered attendee of the current EuroPython (*) as well as any
attendee of one of the past EuroPython conferences going back to 2015
can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also
eligible to vote.

Talk Selection
--------------

After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG)
will use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule.

The talk voting is a good and strong indicator what attendees are
interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial
criteria to e.g. increase diversity, give a chance to less mainstream
topics as well as avoid too much of the same topic.

In general, the Program WG will try to give as many speakers a chance
to talk as possible. If speakers have submitted multiple talks, the
one with the highest rating will most likely get selected.

(*) We will start ticket sales in the coming days to give you a chance
to participate in talk voting as well.
