[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Friday, September 2nd telecon: resolutions and AIs

 

  • Public deadlines:
    • revised to be November 1st for tutorial submissions and November 15th for technical submissions; latter will be extended to 12/1 when we arrive at it
    • AI: [bjorn] Update technical talk deadline on EclipseCon site
    • AI: [bjorn/ian] ensure eclipse.org has a link to EC’06 CFP
  • Keynotes:
    • Thomas Curien (sp?) from Oracle
    • Greg Stein from ASF
    • Gene Pope from Amazon
    • AI: [all] email the PC with any objections or (high probability) alternatives you want to suggest before next week’s call
    • AI: [sri] confirm Oracle availability (pending above discussion)
    • AI: [twagner] confirm with Greg and Gene (pending above discussion)
  • Plenary sessions (formerly known as “afternoon keynotes”)
    • John and Erik on SOW
    • Patrick Kerpan (Borland CTO) on future of Eclipse
    • Panel discussion on RCP
      • SAS
      • IBM (Lotus)
      • Nokia
      • Applied BioSystems
    • AI: [all] vote on this lineup (pending outcome, we’ll assign people to follow up with the various companies)
  • Tutorials
    • Use last year’s list (along with any statistics on signups and/or feedback forms) to elect topics that should be repeated
    • AI: [ian] get available statistics and post to this email list
    • Resolved to reserve one tutorial and two (long) technical sessions for each of the toplevel projects
    • AI: [ian and twagner] Contact the projects and ensure they know this, and that they must still submit the abstracts on time to use the slots.
    • AI: [twagner] Remind all technology projects of tutorial and talk deadlines.
  • Recording presentations
    • Recording each session is prohibitively expensive
    • Asking presenters to provide their own recordings has not typically worked
    • Using a single room requires subsetting the sessions recorded and doubles the time commitment for each presenter selected
    • AI: [all] discuss via email; if we can come up with a viable suggestion we’ll discuss it on the next telecon
