Summit 2011
March 26-29 is really late in the development cycle. To me, the summit should be about planning Juno, discussing architecture, potential solutions to hard problems we want fixed in Juno.

Replacing a
3 days face to face summit by an online meeting will not benefit the

event.
Many
people dial-in but they typically work on something else, we do not have
the evening/lunch event when people can discuss further,
etc.
Looking
at other open source projects/foundations they do a lot of co-located events
(e.g LinuxCon and Tracing Summit), I had a quick chat with Ian from the
Eclipse Foundation, he thinks it's a good idea to co-locate the summit with
EclipseCon, possibly Thursday/Friday as long as we plan ahead to ensure
we have a conf room available at http://reston.hyatt.com (as program chair,
I am sure you can make it happen).
Co-locating
with EclipseCon has a few benefits:
-
Less travel (EclipseCon + Summit same place/date)
-
No sponsors/funding to find
-
No local logistics (room, special events, lunch, dinner, etc.)
-
more developers are likely to come
-
Reston is 8.5 hours drive from Toronto
-
etc.
The
only down side I see is it's not a good timing to plan for the next release so
we could do as you suggested i.e. an online meeting in September
but hopefully a short one maybe half a day to start and then we can
see if we need extra ones for specific topics e.g. multi-core
debug.
Co-locating
with EclipseCon seems quite future proof to me, what do you think?

I agree. The time is pretty
short to organize a full blown summit in September. But, we still need to
have planning meetings to set the agenda for CDT in
Juno.
What I’d like to propose is
an eSummit instead using a conference bridge and Webex. I was thinking of a
block of four hours running noon-3 Ottawa time (give or take), which allows
for evening in Europe and morning in California. We could start with two
days like that and expand if needed.
I would then propose that we
have a CDT get-together at EclipseCon next March. We had a really nice
multi-core meeting last year and could do that for CDT in general. We could
do it for a couple of hours and be separate from the BOF which is a more
open meeting.
What do you
think?
Doug.
Hi
Doug,
It's
not easy to plan/organize the CDT summit in the middle of
summer for a date in Sept/Oct:
-
many people are on vacation, it's hard to get developers to
register;
-
organizing the logistic in the middle of summer was not easy for us
last year again because of many people on vacations and it was hard to get
big conf room for Sept;
- in
July many people are already booked for business trips in the
fall e.g. myself, Elena, Marc, etc. if know more in advanced it
will be easier to plan around the summit date;
-
fall is a busy time of the year for many people, May/June is the Eclipse
release crunch and March is EclipseCon...;
To
get more developers to join the summit we
could either:
-
do the plan/organization after the Eclipse release and held the summit in
Dec/Jan
-
do the plan/org in May and held the summit in
Sept/Oct
-
looking back at last March EclipseCon we could investigate if we
can do it Thursday and Friday (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2011/program/?programdate=2011-03-24)
-
we could even investigate if we can do it together with the GCC summit
(http://www.gccsummit.org)
Best
Regards,
Dominique

Hey gang,
Just a reminder to sign up for CDT Summit 2011 at http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/summitfall2011.
Notice a few signed up already. The more that show interest, the more
we’ll realize we really need to have one again J.
Cheers,
Doug.
