Hi folks,
Sorry for not being in touch on our next meeting.
EclipseCon and my upcoming commercial release are taking a lot of time.
I also have 4 weeks of travel coming up, so I’d like to wait until
October for our next meeting.
That being said, it’s time to start working on EclipseCon
08. I’d like to do this over email the next couple of weeks. I am
again responsible for the Mobile/Embedded Category, which has the following
allocation:
4 Long Talks
10 Short Talks
3 Tutorials (2 hour slots – can be combined if
desired)
As you can see, the Program Committee is pushing for more
short talks this year to get better exposure and diversity of topics.
Short talk speakers will receive a 20% discount (new this year.) The PC
has also done away with separate Panel and Demo allocations, since many of the
Panels weren’t very interesting. If we really want to do a Panel,
though, we should discuss. Demo allocations can either be long or short
talks. It’s up to us.
What I need from you:
·
Would your project like a talk
slot?
·
Long, short, or tutorial?
·
Do you know of folks outside our projects that
would be interested in speaking? We should recruit beyond
DSDP.
·
Do you want to see a panel discussion? On
what topic?
Please respond by 9/21 (1 week). Then we can discuss
further.
Doug
