The voting ended on Sunday, here is a first view on the results for Meeting C++ 2024! If you submitted a talk, acceptance notifications will go out soon.
First of all, there have been 125 active voting sessions this year. These consist out of 3 groups with different voting weights, so that the end result is not just summed up votes. The 3 groups are Staff + former Speakers, Folks who bought tickets to the event before the voting started + those who submitted talks, and everyone that has an account and wants to contribute to the voting. The first group should see the speaker names and bio, the others vote on talk title, description and outline only.
And through this voting, these talks made it into the top 11 - forming the main track:
- Andreas Weis - C++ Modules - Getting Started Today
- Roth Michaels - Templates made easy with C++20: how constexpr/constexpr, fold expressions, and concepts change how we write code
- Bryce Adelstein Lelbach - The C++ Execution Model
- Klaus Iglberger - There is no Silver Bullet
- Klaus Iglberger - Design Patterns - The Most Common Misconceptions (2 of N)
- Boguslaw Cyganek - Pipeline architectures in C++: overloaded pipe operator |, std::expected and its monadic operations
- Nico Josuttis - C++ Concepts: What you should know and how to use them right
- Peter Muldoon - Dependency Injection in C++ : A Practical Guide
- Jonathan Müller - An (In-)Complete Guide to C++ Object Lifetimes
- Bryce Adelstein Lelbach - Think Parallel
- Sandor Dargo - Clean code! Horrible performance?
- Andreas Fertig - Fast and small C++ - When efficiency matters
- Timur Doumler - Contracts for C++
The talks in bold are the ones which form the main track, there two talks speakers which got two talks into this top group, but for the main track I'd like to see each speaker giving one talk.
I feel that this is a good mix of talks, I'll share the individual voting results with the submitting speakers next week. The talks should than also be online. The online track will still be available to many speakers, as it does not fill up with submissions yet.
More details on the voting
The image above shows the voting result as a bar chart. To form the result into a range of values that is closer, and balance out the result, the voting range from 0 - 5 is tranformed into -3 - 5, so that a lower vote cancels out a bit of a higher vote for a talk*. Some talks go through this mechanism to a negative voting result, as you can see above. Even with this the voting results into a certain curve how the various talks have been evaluated by the voting sessions.
The voting and its algorithm have always done a great job for many years now, so that I'm confident to keep this process going.
*this is then multiplied by the vote weight, as attendees and former speaker/staff have stronger vote than normal sessions.
