Next is the issue of subjects. Last year the final list came out a few
days before the summit started, making it impossible for people who were
not attending the summit to prepare material for those attending to
present/include on their behalf.
I think you completely miss the point of KS here. It is not the venue for someone
presenting long material on something and "selling" it, but for free
discussion on specific topics. That is why the invitee list is so
closely controlled to make sure these productions are productive.
Last year the subject of DMA engines was put up, however most of the
people interested in the subject weren't even invited. In that case
there's really little concrete that can come out of the discussion.
Expecting everyone to sit down and get the full picture of a subject
in 5 minutes is unrealistic and will not lead to very useful outcome.
If there are any presentations they should be very short and merely be a
quick intro -- anything elaborate is not really welcome. That's quite different
from other conferences.
Of course, thats why I suggested more like an abstract published in
advance, like why is this subject worthy and what would the person
like to achieve by having it discussed. Hopefully with some technical
ideas included.
Cheers,
Jes
