Scott,
I'm OK with the allocation. Although as one of the more
active projects in the community, I wonder if we need more short
talks.
I think we have enough talks from a project perspective --
i.e. talks that the committers will propose and deliver. But if we get proposals
from the broader community we may find it to be a challenge.
Having said that, I note that there is a reserve for "for later allocations and said that quality
of recruited
content will open up the extra
slots". So, if we get demand /
are able to recruit additional community driven talks, then we can
petition for those slots I guess.
Net: Yes, I'm OK with the allocation.

EclipseCon Track allocations. Please see below. My opinion is that
we have a little less than last year but we did pretty well. Does anyone
take exception with the number of allocated tracks? If you do, let me know
and I will take it up tomorrow when we meet.

folks, The
track allocations have gotten more complicated with our shift to more short
talks. I wanted to explain the allocations prior to tomorrow’s meeting so
you’ll be prepared to discuss. Doug Assumptions -
Actuals from last year make it
impossible to directly convert to this year. o
Last year: 71 long talks, 16
panels, 34 demos, 100 short talks, 87 2hr tutorial o
This year: 80 long talks, 160
short talks, 80 2hr tutorial o
We have a new track (Committer
& Contributor) that also needs talks -
Short talks are a good format for
many things that we may be tempted to put in a long talk. -
Short talks that are grouped can be
used in a variety of creative ways o
4 talks and a 10-minute Q&A or
Panel o
5 speakers on the same theme (time
limits and delineation will be enforced) o
Speedy demos -
50-minute panel talks are of
moderate value and should be chosen carefully (read: do less
panels). -
Most demos should be quick
overviews to introduce technology. -
Lengthy demos that are user focused
should be tutorials. -
Bjorn instructed me to reserve some
talks for later allocations and said that quality of recruited content
will open up these extra slots. Color
