Talmente tante erano\u00a0le proposte\u00a0che abbiamo deciso di portare il numero delle sessioni dalle 18 previste a 24, aggiungendo 6 sessioni di &#8220;lightning talks&#8221;, ovvero sessioni di 12-15 minuti pi\u00f9 domande.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Per selezionare gli interventi abbiamo fatto un giro di votazioni rimuovendo i nomi degli speaker e tenendo solo titoli e abstract; i punteggi cos\u00ec ottenuti sono serviti come base per aprire la discussione che ha aggiunto altri elementi: lingua dell&#8217;intervento, citt\u00e0 di provenienza degli speaker, bilanciamento dei temi all&#8217;interno della giornata e altri parametri che abbiamo usato per definire l&#8217;agenda definitiva.<\/p>\n<p>Ora ci resta solo da &#8220;incasellare&#8221; le sessioni negli orari, cosa che faremo domani: intanto potete andare a sbirciare i nomi dei <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.torino.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/\">relatori<\/a> e i titoli degli <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.torino.wordcamp.org\/sessions\/\">interventi<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Allora, ci vediamo a Torino s\u00ec o no?

We received so many more than expected that we decided to bring the number of sessions from 18 to 24 by adding 6 &#8220;lightning talks&#8221;, sessions of 12-15 minutes plus questions.<\/p>\n<p>To select the talks we did a first round of votes by removing the names of the speakers and taking in consideration only titles and abstracts; the scores obtained served as a basis to start a discussion that added other elements: language of the speech, city of origin of the speakers, balance of the topics and other parameters that we used to define the final agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Now we only need to put the sessions into the schedule and we will do this tomorrow evening: in the meantime, go and take a peek at the names of the <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.torino.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/\">speakers<\/a> and the titles of <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.torino.wordcamp.org\/sessions\/\">sessions<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>So, will we see you in Torino?
