Dear PC, It’s reviewing time! You should all have received a link to your review file (for people on the HCSS PC, this will look familiar; I found the process to work really well so we reused most of it —with the great help from Birg!). As previously said the review process should be really light weight. The aim is to put together an interesting program that we want to listen to or we think others in the community would like to listen to. You’ve all been assigned 6 of the 20 submissions —except Darren and I that will read them all. Feel free to read more (they are really short) and rate them if you want. The allocation is semi-random, and conflict-of-interest (in the reviews and in the live discussion) will be handled quite openly: declare if you have a conflict, but your opinion/knowledge is still welcome. So your job is: 1- read the abstracts you’ve been assigned (or more if you want). 2- rate them in column E (with A+, A, A-, U = Undecided, R = Reject, S = suggest a repurpose (panel, BoF..)). 3- add comments in column F; this is optional but is really useful for (a) you to remember the reasons of your rating in the discussion meeting :) and (b) if you can’t attend the discussion for any reason, we’ll know more about the reasons of your rating. 4- optionally, please tick the theme(s) you think this abstract fits in. 5- while you review, please start thinking about invited speakers, i.e. if some of these talks could be turned into invited talks, or if the topic makes you think about a good invited talk idea from someone else. We will discuss invited talks soon and it’s a good moment to start thinking about it. 6- if reading the reviews makes you think about some seL4 work that has not been submitted but would be a good addition, please let me know. If we agree, I can follow-up to see if they would be happy to participate. And please do all this before end of next week (by 22nd of May) so we have time to collate all the answers before the "PC meeting” (which you should all have received an invitation for). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Many thanks for your work on this, it is very much appreciated :) June
