A news entry for the reason that all talks are online. And to give you a little insight, on how they got on the conference.

This years conference will offer 21 talks in 3 Tracks, where it will be your choice, which to see. Reading the list of talks will give you an impression, that this is not always an easy decision. And it also was no easy decision to decide which talks would make it. The program committee was a great help, with 39 talks submitted, I was thankful for having some guidance. With 14 total votes, giving each talk between 0 and 5 points, I had the needed result. The result as a bar graph:

The first 7 top voted talks are a very good selection, and I knew I had filled a first track with those talks. The range in the result goes from 62 for the top voted talk to 24 as the least voted. As you see, the first seven are pretty clear, after them comes a group of talks where a point more or less doesn't really make a big difference, but will move the talk in the result a few places up or down. The talks for the UI Theme Track were not voted the best, this is also because the committee is a little boost/C++ heavy, so I took the best voted talks for the UI Track, and also made the decision to let a few talks about tools in, which will round up the conference. I didn't let the committee vote on the talks submitted from Aspen, so I don't know where they would have ended up in this graph. But the result, which talks made it to the conference is this graph:

All red talks made it to the conference. Some of the blue talks didn't make it because the speaker had a better rated talk, or there is already a similar better rated talk submitted. Also talks for the theme track had a little advantage, as I still want to focus on this for Meeting C++ 2013.
