The election to select the talks for flock 2015 has started yesterday.

Anyone having signed the FPCA and being in one more group can participate to this election and help selecting the most interesting talks to be held at flock 2015 in Rochester (NY). Some of the talks submitted there look really interesting, I am looking forward seeing the agenda and I hope the ones I want to see will not conflict too much :-)

This year the election is using the simplified range voting approach. The principle is the same as for the classical range voting, but instead of having the possibility to score each candidate between 0 and X (X being the number of candidates, which is 132 for this election), you have the possibility to score each candidate between 0 and 3.

You can of course make your own scale but I went for something along the lines of:

  • 0: not really interested by this talk
  • 1: can be interesting, not sure
  • 2: looks like an interesting talk
  • 3: I really want to see this talk



And you, did you vote?
