Quick report on the results of the onsite attendee survey for Meeting C++ 2025 for onsite talks, attendees can choose up to 15 talks to see which talks are popular.

The survey has some influence on the schedule. My goal with this survey is two very different things: to see who is hosted in the smalles room is the more important one. Then also I'd like to see if there are changes to the main track. Motivation behind this is that the voting does not map that well to onsite attendees anymore. Which this survey shows is partly true. Track C will be hosted in the smallest room Bernstein, while the new track E is in Amethyst. There is not a big difference, but still I hope that the survey gives the best data on which talks should be hosted there. Track C already hosts folks which did not do so well in the survey.

Until now 60 Attendees have taken the survey, and in order to change a talk to the main track from the site tracks I'd need 50% at least.

• The Real Problem of C++ - Klaus Iglberger - A: 41, percent: 0.68333333333333

• Code Reviews: Building Better Code and Stronger Teams - Sandor Dargo - A: 39, percent: 0.65

• Taming the Beast: Strategies for Incrementally Modernizing Large C++ Codebases - Jan Baart - A: 34, percent: 0.56666666666667

• Rust for The Curious C++ Developers - Victor Ciura - B: 32, percent: 0.53333333333333

• Cache-Friendly C++ - Jonathan Müller - A: 30, percent: 0.5

So the big result of this survey is that the Rust talk should be in the main track. I'll start making changes to the schedule based on these results now, with the goal to release the static schedule for the conference next week.

Then the schedule is mostly frozen for changes.
