Re: [xliff-promotion] [urgent] SC Review/Feedback request - Call for Papers XLIFF Symposium

["Dr. David Filip" <David.Filip@ul.ie>]

Bryan, Yves,

easy chair is a standard trusted solution. The authors can delete their accounts if they are not accepted and IF they do not need the account for other conferences.

It is being used for W3C, IEE and other high profile conferences.

Data of submitter is definitely safer on the EasyChair app than if we mail it around and store on local harddrives of our computers. We are not Locworld and do not have staff for managing PC and reviews by e-mail or by a home-brew application.

The benefits are that everything is on the app, papers can be assigned for reviews, ratings are automatically stored averaged etc. without need to mail around and track on excel or whantnot.

I mange all three FEISGILTT tracks that is 3 PCs, all submission and reviews, I simply cannot do it by e-mail, excel, and local storage; Can you?

Thanks

Hi David and Yves and SC members,

I tend to agree with Yves on this. I've submitted quite a few papers over the years, and cannot remember ever needing to a third party broker to submit.

David, what advantages does the EasyChair method bring?

Thanks,

Bryan
Ps. I think the two of us signing the call for papers is fine.

I think you are over-estimating the number of people using EasyChair. And regardless, I think one should not have to register to any specific Web site to just submit a proposal (that may not get accepted). I can just send it by email for LocWorld. Why would you need to register for doing the same thing for the XLIFF days?

I dislike having mandatory registrations foisted on me: Most of the time you cannot de-register and the third-party doesn't respect its privacy policy. Not everyone is like me obviously, but I suspect I'm not alone with such feelings.

But more simply: It just makes thing a lot more complicated for the possible speakers.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
-yves
