have an excellent programme to look forward to!
I was intrigued by this. If you rank the 400-odd submissions according
to that average score, you get a very wide dispersion. Some of the ones
accepted ranked lower than 200. What was the rationale for picking
these? You can do the same with 'interested attendees'. Again, some
submissions with only 2 or 3 such attendees were accepted. In fact, if
you make a binary sort on ranking<90 (i.e. ranking less than the 90-odd
submissions accepted) plus interested attendees < 10, it turns out that
about a quarter of the accepted submissions fell into that category.
Some were extreme outliers.
Of course you can use whatever selection criteria you want, but it seems
odd not to make them public. Do you mind my asking what the actual
criteria were?

The first round of submission acceptances was sent out
on Sunday
night. Acceptees have 3 days to reply with confirmation, or they are
considered withdrawn, and second choice acceptances go out to replace
them. This process continues until the entire programme is confirmed.
If you haven't received an acceptance do not despair just yet, there
may be quite a few second choices as many submissions were dependent
on scholarships. It's hard to say at this stage how many will withdraw.
As confirmations come in, they are added to the programme page on the
wiki:

If you have any questions about the programme don't hesitate to ask
me. However, I won't be making any alterations until after the
programme is confirmed.
Average first choice score was something like 8.93/10, I think we have
an excellent programme to look forward to!
