[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Minutes and AIs from Friday, September 9th telecon
  • Tutorials
    • 42 slots max; most are half day
    • 6 reserved for sponsor tutorials (not under PC control)
    • One slot reserved for each of the six top-level projects shipping code
    • Will reach out to last year’s presenters (invite, not reservation)
    • Will invite all technology and tools projects (no reservations)
    • Sub-committees should be actively recruiting great content in addition to the above!
  • Keynote/Plenary Selection
    • RCP panel discussion will be changed to a technical slot
    • Ian: Topic suggestion for Amazon: Web 2.0 / turning search engine and store into application platform
    • Amazon speaker: vet that Gene is the appropriate person to invite; eBay as a fallback
    • Travel / lodging can be covered as needed; modest honorarium available if required
    • Need to avoid product pitches; guide keynote speakers into topics of interest to the attendees
    • Suggested theme for speakers to touch on: open source vs. proprietary models
  • Recording
    • Agreed to ask Bjorn to investigate feasibility of a single room recording setup (only talks in that room would be recorded).
    • Committee suggested that recording keynotes would be beneficial.
    • Agreed that if we go forward with this plan we will describe it as “experimental” for this year, to avoid creating distinction between the talks that do/not get recorded. Feedback from this year will inform next year’s approach to recording.
