Extending the Early Bird
Posted by Matt Walker on May 28, 2013
Hi,
I'd like to propose that we extend the Early Bird for at least a couple of weeks past the current deadline of the 31st (this Friday) to allow us to have the workshop booking system that Barry is currently working on in place and tested.
Three questions arise: any objections; what date should be choose and how do we communicate the extension?
Thanks,
Matt.

2. 14th June is good (a Friday is a good day)
3. The Comms Team can handle this - we've delayed on the 'demise of the Early Bird' PR for just this reason...
Plus the usual Twitter and posting to the discussion list. ALso need to have a large red update on the website (
Can we make the decision tomorrow by the latest so that we can post ahead of the rush of bookings on Friday.....

From the off-line discussions with Steven I believe that we can make an executive decision this morning to extend the deadline. I therefore propose that we that extend to 14th June (12 midnight GMT) with the following actions:
1. update the website with the extension (Barry)
2. Issue to RWH details of the workshop selection process (to be put into PR) (Barry?)
3. Publish Programme (Barry? Again!) (PS - no-one has picked up on the programme thread, so I guess we're going with the current version?!)
4. post to discussion boards (Jo) - I can provide a text
5. issue the PR via the usual channels (Rollo to supply text to Claire - I'm working on it now and will post in this thread)
6. Tweet (all)
Please comment now.....

2. workshop selection system is still a work-in-progress but we can explain the credit system on the web pages
3. I can take the output of the slotdrop system and push that as a standalone page
i'll try and do some of this today but the day-job is calling...

I think that important actions are
1. get a version of the programme open to the entire LoC (not just programme committee) Possible?
2. website - notice (Claire - do you need to do anything with the booking system?)
a - front page
b - workshop notes
c- programme schematic?
3. discussion boards (Jo)

@Claire can you do the magic on regonline? Also the changes to workshop.
@Comms people assume you will blast the news out and also re changes to workshop booking (may be worth also mentioning community voting coming up)

I will be updating the early bird prices manually - when will it be changing the 14th or 16th?
