With yesterdays deadline passing, the this years Meeting C++ call for papers has ended. Its been a great success, in total 51 talks got submitted from 41 people! But, I'll only need 21, so the selection of the right talks will be very hard this year.

Diversity

The talks span a wide range of topics for C++, even the theme track "Scientific programming with C++" has more then 7 submissions. Only 2 talks about C++ related tooling got submitted and for the first time ever no talk about Qt, even library related talks are rare. A very few talks are about C++14, but quite a lot of talks focus on various topics related to Modern C++ and C++11.

The voting

Having so many talks, I simply can't decide easily which talks and speakers are the right ones for this year. So I am glad that I made the decision last year to open up the voting. I've spent the last weeks on getting the software ready for this... The deadline for the voting is May 4th (be with you! #scnr). So you are able to vote if you have visited Meeting C++ in the past 2 years or submitted a talk this year. As I send the voting files per Email, some of you might need to check their spam folders or different email adresses. I spend some time in cleaning the dataset, so that each person only receives one voting file. Unfortunately email adresses are not unique in my dataset, as Xing Events does not enforce this. In total I have send this morning 307 voting emails.

The voting is only based on talk title and description, you can comment on each talk, which serves as a feedback for me.

Decisions

So in about 2 weeks I should have the final voting result. Like last year, the top7 rated talks will then be the popular track in the main hall. I also will choose the best rated talks from the theme category for this years theme track "Scientific programming with C++". 3rd Track will most likely be filled with interesting and diverse talks from the voting. This should ensure to have a very interesting program in 2014 again. As I am in May in Aspen visiting the C++Now, the talks and schedule will be released again around end of May.

Also the first two speakers of Meeting C++ 2014 are already announced:

• Opening Keynote - Scott Meyers
• Closing Keynote - Hartmut Kaiser

Tickets are available at the ticketshop!
