Hi Scott,
I believe this year that all tutorials are available to all who are
registered for the conference (I mean "Full Pass" registration; not
"Exhibits Only" registrants).
Last year, one had to pay extra for a tutorial, and so there was a
separate registration. This year, all tutorials are included.
It looks like all of the tutorials will be held on Monday, the first day
of the conference.
(And if I'm wrong about any of that, I hope that someone from the
EclipseCon Program Committee will provide the officially correct info).

Lee Anne,
Thanks for posting regarding the schedule. It looks like an excellent
conference and I've been anxious to see how sessions line up in the
schedule.
I'm happy to see the tutorials available to all attendees. I have found
the tutorials to be a valuable part of the conference.
Free also means they will be better attended than in past years! Since
the tutorials are 2-4 hours, I would hope there would be some process to
ensure the rooms are adequate for the number of attendees. Often at the
more popular long sessions, people end up standing or sitting on the
floor. That's OK for an hour, but not for 2-4 hours when the desire is
to do some hands on work with a laptop!
Power has also been an issue at past tutorials, and a head count would
help this.
Can anyone from EclipseCon speak to this?

Us too!

Well, yes and no. Doug Gaff (Program Chair) and I have spent quite a bit
of time trying to guess which tutorials are going to be more popular and
putting those in larger rooms. Other than that, we're going with first
come, first served. With 20 parallel tutorial sessions, we think it will
even out fairly well. (I hope.)

I haven't noticed this at EclipseCon so far, but then I can't be
everywhere, so it could easily have happened. I do notice people
standing at the back of the room from time to time, but it appeared to
be by choice (or a choice of "eewh, I don't want to sit 'next' to
someone else :-).

As of this writing, there will not be power at the tutorials. The
tutorial presenters were alerted to this when they submitted their
tutorials. This decision is destined to be unpopular, sigh, but it is
made for strictly financial reasons: putting that many power strips in
that many room costs a lot of money (about the price of a nice new
automobile).
However, if the registration numbers are outstanding, we'll have some
extra money and power strips are our first priority. So... help us out
and convince your friends to register!
