BIRT Community,
EclipseCon 2008 is six months away, and it is time to start submitting proposals
for talks. This year there are three types of talks:
- Tutorials (2 hours) BIRT has 3 tutorials
- Long Talks (1 hour) BIRT has four long talks
- Short Talks (10 minutes) BIRT has five short talks
Proposals for talks are done through the EclipseCon 2008 submission process:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/index.php?page=submissions/
We are actively recruiting for high quality talks for all three slots. Our
goal is to get as much community involvement as possible. You may say, "Whats
in it for me". First, you have a chance to receive recognition for all of
the great things that you have done with BIRT. Second, the Tutorials and
Long Talks allow you to go to the conference for free. Each short talk is
worth a 20% discount on your registration.
What are we looking for? We have two goals: First show off as much of the
BIRT technology as possible and second show off the actual implementations
of BIRT that you are all doing. In terms of the first goal, we have drawn
up some broad objectives on the types of talks we would like to see, so any
community submitted talks that will help us achieve those goals will have
a strong chance of acceptance.
If you have ideas for talks that are not in the objectives, feel free to
submit them. We will give careful consideration to all reporting proposals.
The presentations are not limited to BIRT, but have to in some way involve
Reporting and Eclipse.
The deadline for submissions is the November 19, so please make your submissions
as soon as possible.
