One of the most popular panels at
the 2012 edition of Snowbird was "Publication Models in Computing Research: Is a Change Needed? Are We Ready for a Change?" A lively audience of more than 100 computer scientists occupied the medium-size ballroom in which the four-person panel presented, and the audience’s comments at the end of the talk included a positive sharing of suggestions, ideas, and personal experiences. The topic clearly resonated with the audience, and it was common for attendees to be lined up by the microphone, waiting for their opportunity to speak.
